European Waterways, Europe's largest luxury hotel barge cruising company, welcomes the 2014 season offering a wide selection of cruises – some with special offers applying - that immerse guests in the colorful scenery, cuisine and cultural heritage of some of Europe's most popular regions.

Guests can choose from views of the unique, half-timbered architecture of the Alsace region of France; or the wines of Burgundy in the heart of France – all while enjoying up to £4,800 off the price of full boat charters; and up to £800 off per cabin on selected cruises in late Spring and early Summer.

Historic Cruises in Burgundy
With endless miles of vineyards, countless elegant châteaux, and quaint villages, a gentle voyage on the intimate 8 passenger hotel barge L'Art de Vivre through Burgundy is a great way to see the geographical heart of France. Home to some of France's most beautiful canals and countryside, Burgundy transports guests back in time as they cruise this historic region.

The L'Art de Vivre itinerary features a visit to the elegant Château de Bazoches, a tour of enchanting Auxerre with its magnificent cathedral, and a trip to the medieval village of Vezelay and its hilltop basilica.

There is still time for guests to enjoy £800 off per cabin on the May 18 & 25 cruise departures, as well as £4,800 off the full 8-passenger charter price on May 18.

Cultural Cruises in Alsace
From mid-June, the stylish 12-passenger hotel barge Panache cruises in the Alsace region of France, where guests enjoy a wonderful and unique mix of French and German cultures, cuisine, architecture, and fine wines. With a large sun deck, a spa pool, and bicycles to ride along the Alsace towpaths, Panache offers passengers a chance to explore historic sites and really experience the region. Highlights include a visit to the Rene Lalique glass collection and Strasbourg's gothic Cathedral, as well as a chance to see the unique Arzviller boat elevator, which transports the barge 450 feet up a mountainside.

This Summer, European Waterways is offering £4,000 off Panache's full-boat charter price on the July 27 and several August departures, and £800 off per cabin on two cruises, departing July 6 and 20.
