Canal Barging (self-drive)
Canal and river holidays are fun, yet relaxing. This is a
great way to holiday with family or friends. Discover the
soul of the country – explore historical treasures –
encounter the lifestyles of those living by the waterways.
Barging is a holiday of contrasts, taken at a slow pace. Explore
the variety of city, town, village, and country. Every bend
brings forth new delights, every mile a new feature.
These holidays are for relaxation and unwinding. Stop when
you want – tie up for walk through a village, take a
bicycle ride, or to visit historic sites.
Cruising your own vessel is not difficult, and operating the
locks does not require super-human strength! And the vast
majority of routes do not require formal handling and navigation
training. All the operators give you an introduction to handling
your vessel and the rules of navigating the waterways. All
the operators that we represent maintain modern fleets.
Some short breaks are available, but generally cruiser hire
is for one, two or three weeks.
The choice of routes ranges from waterways in England, Ireland,
France, Holland, Germany, Belgium and Italy.
As for style of vessel there are a variety of modern river-cruisers
as well as traditionally-styled narrowboats (for some of the
waterways in England). Vessels can range in capacity from
two to twelve.
