Luxury Hotel Barge Cruises: Fine Cuisine Afloat

The classic traditions of French and international cuisine are an unforgettable highlight of our hotel barge cruises. Before you wake each morning, a crew member has visited the local patisserie to collect newly baked breads, buttery croissants and a variety of fresh pastries. Together with the aroma of fresh coffee brewing, the day has just begun and you may want to enjoy your breakfast on deck.


Luncheon, often enjoyed on the sun deck, will be a colorful arrangement of salads, pâtes, savoury quiches and of course, a selection of cheeses, all accompanied by an excellent choice of wines from the barge's cellar.


Dinner is the culinary highlight of each day. Served by candlelight, each course is a delicious creation, complemented by fine wines. Your chef will use the freshest ingredients, bought from the wonderful local markets and pick herbs from the small on-board herb garden to produce wonderful regional and national dishes that are full of flavor.

Cruising on a fully crewed, all inclusive hotel barge is a fantastic way to relax and experience the beauty and culture of the country.

Imagine the sense of relaxation and enjoyment as your floating hotel carries you from one peaceful mooring to the next with more than enough opportunity to explore little villages, shops, the delightful countryside and much, much more, without the need to pack and repack every day....

Paradise Connections represents luxury hotel barges that accommodate small groups from 2 to 20 guests depending on the barge. If you're a larger group, we can arrange for a tandem cruise. The attentive crew will pamper you with personalized service to ensure your enjoyment of this unique vacation. The cuisine is superb with carefully selected cheese and wines to accompany your meals aboard. Every day offers interesting local guided excursions, or you may choose to stay "home" with a good book and listen to some tunes... the choice is up to you. You can always do a bit of activity such as cycling and walking along the towpath as your barge makes its way along the canal. Some barges offer themed cruises such as golfing, guided walks and cycling tours, fishing, wine tasting & appreciation cruises, family vacations, regional festivals such as the Hampton Court & Chelsea flower shows, etc.

Let's get started on planning your next hotel barge cruise.
