Discovering Europe by water.<br />

Rivers and canals flow from bustling cities to quaint hamlets,<br />

linking the towns and villages of Western Europe. Everywhere<br />

there are tranquil yet breathtaking landscapes.<br />

Follow these waterways on board a comfortable barge or<br />

river cruiser and encounter a quieter, more relaxed side of<br />

Europe, revealed to you at a leisurely pace with attentive<br />

personal service.<br />

Each barge has its own décor, with interiors ranging from<br />

humble French country to grand English manor styles.<br />

Meals are included in every sailing, prepared by on-board<br />

chefs and served in inviting surroundings.<br />

Set out on a hotel sailing and join other like-minded<br />

travellers or charter a private departure with family and<br />

friends for a relaxing vacation on Europe’s waterways.<br />

A&K offers a number of itineraries throughout Europe,<br />

providing you with the opportunity to experience the local<br />

history and culture of many regions:<br />

Britain and Ireland<br />

History seems to unfold before your eyes as you cruise<br />

Scotland’s Caledonian Canal, England’s River Thames<br />

or Ireland’s Loch Derg. From Macbeth’s castle and Loch<br />

Ness in Scotland to Runnymede and Windsor Castle in<br />

England and Ireland’s ring forts and a haunted castle, all<br />

are available for up close and personal exploration.<br />

The barge cruising experience.<br />

Holland and Belgium<br />

When you first think of Holland and Belgium, tulips and<br />

chocolate may come to mind. Yet there is so much more —<br />

streets are framed by medieval architecture, and precious<br />

works by the Old Masters hang in the museums.<br />

France<br />

Just outside the arms of busy Paris, the Loire Valley is<br />

home to tranquil flowing fields adorned with magnificent<br />

châteaux. To the east, centuries-old wine estates and<br />

German-inspired cuisine await in Alsace-Lorraine. In<br />

Burgundy, see thriving vineyards and small villages that<br />

dot the rolling hills, while Provence has inspired artists for<br />

centuries with the scent of lavender fields and olive groves.<br />

Germany and Central Europe<br />

No destination is as peaceful and idyllic as the fairy tale<br />

region of Germany or the historic, palace-laden cities<br />

along the Danube. The blue-green carpet of Germany’s<br />

Moselle region is best seen from a luxury barge as it<br />

meanders down the river.<br />

Regardless of the route you choose, your barge vacation<br />

includes everything you need to make your holiday<br />

complete, from guided sightseeing and entry fees to<br />

transfers and accommodations to three delicious meals<br />

daily with wine — always featuring the best local flavors<br />

and ingredients.<br />
