Take a Quick Getaway on Dutch Barge Cruise

Looking for an extra-special, quick & easy getaway with that special certain someone in your life?  What about a romantic break on a luxury barge cruise in Holland aboard the Hotel Barge Panache, where you can take in the beautiful blooms, winding waterways, and culture-rich towns that The Netherlands has to offer.

Here are a few of the romantic stops on the Panache itinerary:


Romance in Flowers at Keukenhof

Whenever you choose to visit the world-famous gardens at Keukenhof, you are sure to be swept away by the charm of its immensely beautiful flower displays. Each year the park has a different theme. In 2018 it is “Romance in Flowers”.


Gardeners prepped the ground with 50,000 tulip, crocus and grape hyacinth bulbs in the autumn, ensuring a stunning flower mosaic for lovestruck guests to admire in the spring.

Just imagine walking hand-in-hand through the Love Paradise or sharing a kiss in the Cupid Garden… after all, the best way to profess your love is to say it with flowers!


Explore Leiden from the Towpath

With its towering townhouses, elegant stone bridges and criss-crossing of canals, the historic university town of Leiden is as pretty as a picture.


We believe that one of the best ways to appreciate its charm is to explore it on two wheels – just like the locals do! Grab one of our onboard bikes and take off down the tree-lined towpaths for a bicycle tour made for two.

Admire the Organ at St Bavo’s Cathedral


If you’re the kind of couple who find romance in beauty and music, you will be blown away by the Müller organ, which can be found in St Bavo’s Cathedral in Haarlem. Rising 30m into the air against the whole west wall of the cathedral, the intricately decorated organ is a truly impressive sight.

Famous players of this magnificent instrument include Handel in 1740 and 1750, and a ten-year-old Mozart in 1766. If you’re lucky you might visit while its sonorous sound floods the cathedral – an uplifting accompaniment to any declaration of love.



We have two cabins available on Panache for the week of May 6-12, 2018.  The price of a cabin for two people (not each) is $12,380 less a 20% discount brings the price down to only $9904.

This cruise departs in less than two weeks but there is plenty of time to get organized if you act quickly.

Dutch Tulip Cruise for 2018


Fancy barging in Holland this spring? There is still a chance!

The Hotel Barge Panache has two of six cabins available on their May 6-12, 2018 Dutch Tulip trip. They also have four open on their Two-Country Holland-Belgium cruise May 20-26, 2018.

Both of these weeks offer a 20% discount.



The Netherlands are famous, of course, for tulips, but as a land with a rich artistic and cultural history, it has a lot more besides. The western provinces of this land of water are populated by windmills which sit above the polders and along the very river that gave its name to Amsterdam, while cities such as Haarlem and Delft are meccas for lovers of pottery and art. A barging cruise uncovers some of Holland's hidden gems and is the perfect way to experience the best the country has to offer.

This year we will be offering World War One Commemorative Cruises aboard the Hotel Barge Panache for the weeks of May 22-28 (Courtrai to Bethencourt-sur-Somme) and May 29-June 4, 2016 (Bethencourt-sur-Somme to Paris).

It is just over 100 years since the outbreak of World War One (WWI), which ran from July 1914 through November 1918, and we will be offering a number of 6-night, all-inclusive, World War One commemorative cruises each spring over the next few years.

In May 2016, these cruises will be aboard the superb 12-passenger hotel barge, Panache, along the Canal du Nord and the River Oise. There will be excursions to sites in Flanders, including the Menin Gate in Ypres for the moving Last Post ceremony; the battlefields, memorials and museums of the Somme, such as Thiepval and Belicourt; the forest clearing at Compiègne where the Armistice was signed in November 1918.

Thiepval Memorial
Vimy Ridge Memorial

There will be tours of other significant places during the conflict, such as Vimy Ridge and Villers-Bretonneux, site of the Australian National War Memorial and and a place of deep meaning to Australians and New Zealanders;

The excursion program for the cruises will have some flexibility built in to allow, where possible, guests of different nationalities to visit sites of particular significance to their own countries. In addition, there will be interesting cruising through the Spring Picardy countryside.
