On a selection of August 2014, six-night departures in the appealing French cruise areas of Burgundy and Gascony & Bordeaux, luxury hotel barge operator European Waterways is currently offering Summer savings of up to £800 per person (£1,600 per cabin) applicable to bookings made by 8 August.

Pricing includes: local transfers, gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, escorted excursions and use of barge facilities, for example an on-deck spa pool and bicycles. The selection of these Summer/August voyages - with special offers applying - includes:

BURGUNDY, aboard the 12-passenger La Belle Epoque
17 and 24 August, 2014 – offer price from £2,290pp (normal price £3,090pp)

Renowned for its more than 60,000 acres of vineyards, Burgundy produces some of the finest wines in the world; the cruise features wine tours and “up close and personal” excursions into the everyday lives of its people, not usually experienced by the average tourist.

GASCONY & BORDEAUX, aboard the 8-passenger Rosa
10, 17 and 24 August, 2014 – offer price from £1,680 (normal price from £2,480pp)

With wine a major theme, hotel barge Rosa's itinerary is perfect for lovers of fine vintages. Guests are invited to explore the 2,000-year-old wine-growing region of Bordeaux with its special 'terroir' – the unique composition of the land that imparts a unique quality to the wine – and participate in excursions that include a wine tasting at Château Bausejour-Bescot near Saint Emilion and visits to the medieval towns of Nerac, Vianne and Le Mas d'Agenais.

European Waterways, Europe's largest luxury hotel barge cruising company, offers an array of cruises that immerse passengers in the cultural traditions of some of the most fascinating regions of Europe. The hotel barging experience is different from large vessel river cruising. It offers a slower paced, “gentle voyage of discovery” along the more intimate canals and waterways of Europe, allowing a small number of guests to become more fully immersed in the culture, history and gastronomy of the region.

All bookings with the special offer applying are 'subject to availability', based on 2 people sharing a cabin.
