Paradise Connections
now, for current availability and pricing. We hope you can take
advantage of these special dates for your barging cruise vacation.
The 2014 season is booking up fast. We are surprised and quite happy that
next year looks so good. If you haven't booked your barge trip for next
year, don't wait too long as availability for some weeks are very limited. By the way, Nymphea will be chartering in
the Loire next season as their canal has re-opened.

PRIVATE CHARTERS
Some of the barges now have a fixed amount off of their full-barge rate. Quite often this special rate will be less expensive than their normal 6 or 8-person rate, for a 10-pax barge for example. Please note that you can be a smaller group than the maximum number of passengers that the barge can accommodate.
Let's take Anjodi, for example. Anjodi's 8-person, value season rate is normally $34,000. Take off $6000 and their special rate for these 3 weeks in April is now $28,000. Their normal 6-person rate is $31,600 and now it has dropped to $28,000. You are still saving a chunk of money ($3600, more than 10%) even though you are a group of 6 rather than 8.
