This is an excellent way to travel with a group of friends, special family events, and river barging is for all age groups with itineraries to suit your every need. As
you cruise along, you'll discover the wonderful palette of landscapes in France and Europe. From the wheat fields, acres of wildflowers, to the soaring Alps and everything in between.  Discover the magnificent castles [called chateaux], historical landmarks and Roman ruins from centuries past. If you're not one to take a regular ocean cruise, you'll marvel at these gentle barge river cruises, gently floating along, passing through locks, that you'll swear that the ship won't make it through, and the charming villages and markets that you'll stop along the way to visit are beyond your expectations. River  and barge cruises are the ultimate all inclusive vacation, with highly experienced crews and chefs that will see to your every need for a delightful travel experience, plus the bonus of exceptional shore tours along the way.

  Paris Seine River Cruises a must do!  Paris by Day or Night is a great cruise experience!
I cannot tell you how pleasant and relaxing it is to cruise up or down the Seine -- day or night.  It is just so pleasurable to just be able to sit back and enjoy the view, or stand or walk around, or sit up on the top deck and watch the magnificent scenery of Paris flow-by. This is a treat in itself! The architecture of the bridges is not to be missed.  The bridges are called 'Ponts', and are quite beautiful.  Along with all the architectural styles of the buildings that your cruise by.  The following are just some of the Seine cruises options: river cruise only, lunch cruises, dinner cruises, combo cruise and dinner at the Eiffel Tower, or a combination cruise and one of several of the 'Cabaret Shows'. There are dozens of river cruises to suite everyone's desires and of course budget.  Another option to get around Paris by water is the 'Batobus'.  This is fun to see Paris instead of going by bus or on foot. It is part of the same company that has the 'Yellow hop off and on Bus, and this is the same thing, only cruising.
