To borrow a line from Willow Wind; 'Nothing - nothing - half the value of getting on a boat.' Whether big or small, luxury or street, we love boat vacations and especially barges. They are slightly different than traditional canal boats but have almost the same appeal, so we chose the best places to try a peaceful and unique barge vacation.
Netherlands
The Dutch are famous for their boats, but these canals also have a number of redesigned barriers in the country. There are plenty of barriers to rent, and the fixed barge also provides a basis for exploring Amsterdam's city center.
France
France has long been the hub of barge vacation destinations, the classic route through the Lower Valley, Burgundy and the Midi. With a network of waterways running along the borders of all countries, French boats are genuinely spoiled for sights choice. Barge boaters will love the South Canal Midi's mild landscapes and peaceful atmosphere, or head east for a weekend getaway at the Peach Oprah.
Germany
The natural beauty of the three main waterways Elbe, the Rhine and the Danube is what makes the barge holiday so popular in Germany. Sportboat Redesigned barges like the Lorenzo River have all the conveniences of a traditional hotel and also provide an excellent way to explore the waterways.
As the three main rivers are connected by a network of canals in the north of Germany and the Rhine-Main-Danube in the south, there are plenty of adventure boat exploration options. For city trippers, always located near the German lakes Mecklenburg and Brandenburg - Berlin.
Belgium
Belgium's two canals are also two of the most aesthetically pleasing areas in the country; The flat canals of the Flanders and the southern hills and the Woloni River. Fortunately for potential sailors struggling to choose, the two areas are connected by more than 1,600 km of recently rehabilitated waterways. Popular routes for a Belgian barge vacation include the Lee, Muse, Sambre, and Sheld rivers.
River Po and The Bianco Canal, Italy
In Italy, you will see barges sailing along the Po River and the Bianco Canal. On an Italian barge, you will love to visit Villas and cities full of small art such as Chioggia, Ferrara, and Mantua. As with any Italy tour, you can expect an art history, but the barge chases include well-known villas to entertain poets and hit-and-miss stops such as the well-neglected Palazzo.
UK - United Kingdom
With more than 2200 miles of canals and navigable rivers, often running through some of the UK's largest cities, it's no surprise that Britons love a bar. Many channels are connected by a single network, extending from Bristol to London, from Liverpool to Gull, and from Lancaster to Ripon and redesigned industrial boats and barges from novels such as the Beatles-inspired Yellow Sub in Liverpool.
Caledonian Canal, Scotland
While appreciating Scotland's beauty, it is no better than a ship that can smoothly sail along the Caledonian Canal. Along the way, you can visit unique castles such as Aileen Donan, walk through the highlands, and stop near the Glen Ord Distillery to taste the whiskey.
Ireland
A 10-minute ride through Ireland's famous countryside is genuinely all the incentives you need to become a full-fledged barge buff. Like many of the destinations on our list, Ireland's canals run through rural and urban centers. Barges such as the Dublin Barge Hire are often specially modernized to navigate well-known waterways such as the Shannon River and the relatively hot Irish downtown canals.
