Welcome aboard the Barge Meanderer, your luxurious traveling hotel while visiting the Upper Loire River. There are many reasons people take a vacation: they need time off, want to relax or would like to go on an adventure to someplace they’ve only ever dreamt of seeing. When you make the decision to go on one of our luxurious French barge cruises, you will be able to do all three at once! Let’s discuss some reasons why you don’t want to miss out on a French barge tour.
1. Intimate group of people
When traveling on the Barge Meanderer, you can expect during your travel that there will only be a small number of people on board. If you have enough friends and family that want to travel, you could book the entire barge and have the Barge Meanderer all to yourself. This leads to a more intimate experience unlike a river cruise, which can have up to 200 passengers.

2. Unique destinations
When traveling down the Upper Loire in France, the Barge Meanderer doesn’t travel fast or far each day which allows you to soak up the sights and sounds of the countryside and the cities. This gives you plenty of time to get off and walk around these quiet little towns, visit new markets, or just take a bike tour in the area. You can visit wineries, castles or even just relax on board on the sun deck or in the jacuzzi.

3. A luxurious experience
On the Barge Meanderer, you will receive a luxurious experience from the moment that you step onboard. From being served wine and cheese daily, to having private cabins to stay in, intimate places to gather with friends and the ability to travel ashore often. Our crew goes above and beyond to provide you with an experience that is second to none. If there is anything that we can do for you during your barge tour in France, just let us know and we will do everything that we can to accommodate.

5. Food and wine
Each day the chef on board the Barge Meanderer makes incredible meals that are specifically tailored to your likes and wants. If you have a food allergy, are following a certain diet or just would like your favorite food, these are all options that can be done in order to meet your needs. The chef shops locally at the different markets daily, only getting the freshest of ingredients for your meals. The wine pairings that go along with the meals makes each dish extra special.
Also, should you be hungry in between meals, there is always something to eat. There are morning and afternoon snacks to keep you going until you have one of our beautifully planned lunches or dinners. Beverages are also always available for your wanting.
