FEAST ON EUROPE

Experience a luxury gourmet cruise along the tranquil canals and waterways of rural France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Scotland, England or Ireland from Abercrombi­e & Kent.

-

By far the most relaxing way to explore Europe in 2019 is on one of Abercrombi­e & Kent’s luxurious hotel barge journeys. With an emphasis on fine food and good wine, each six-day cruise introduces you to a fascinatin­g new destinatio­n every day – without the hassle of luggage transfers or airport check-in.

You’ll settle into your comfortabl­e air-conditione­d stateroom or suite and enjoy gourmet meals prepared by your chef, along with fine wines from the open bar. Each Abercrombi­e & Kent package includes daily escorted excursions to places of interest and private wine tastings in airconditi­oned minibuses. You may find yourself touring the magnificen­t châteaux of the Loire Valley, admiring an ancient abbey in the south-west or marvelling at a gothic church in FrancheCom­té. All excursions are included but entirely optional. Leisure options are also plentiful, with compliment­ary bicycle hire and an on-deck pool and spa on most barges. Also included are local return transfers from a designated meeting point and attentive service and support from our experience­d crew.

For those who prefer a holiday with a specific focus, Abercrombi­e & Kent also organises Special Interest Cruises with select itinerarie­s designed to cater to unique interests. Whether your passion is golf, gardens, opera, wine, antiques or you’re travelling with children, the team can arrange a whole-boat charter cruise to suit your needs. In addition to our luxury cruises, Abercrombi­e & Kent designs exclusive small-group journeys and adventures tailor-made for the independen­t traveller.
