Cruise rustic Burgundy aboard a luxury 8-passenger barge-hotel (7days - 6 nights). This boat travels some of the most peaceful and beautiful waterways in Europe: Canal de Bourgogne, Canal du Centre and the River Saône. On this classic cruise you will go through the famed wine region of Côte d'Or, where some legendary Grands Crus and Premiers Crus originate. You will recognize names such as Meursault, Montrachet, Clos de Vougeot, Pommard and Santenay, and you will sample local wines that are rarely available outside France.
The barge has large panoramic windows and offers a luxurious interior with a mixture of contemporary and antique Louis XVI furniture, complimented by occasional tables from Li Puma of Florence.
