8 Ways a Canal Barge Cruise is Different to a Regular River Cruise
What are the main differences between a European canal hotel barge cruise and a river cruise? I think there are 8 key things you need to know that makes a canal cruise different to a river cruise. By understanding how they differ you can better decide is a river cruise or canal hotel barge cruise is best for your next European river cruising vacation

Cruise the Burgundy Region of France aboard the 12 Passenger Hotel Barge La Belle Epoque
La Belle Epoque in her first life transported logs from Burgundy to Paris, but today she is transformed into a deluxe hotel barge carrying a very different cargo along the same canals.
She has been designed with both elegance and passenger comfort in mind and her welcoming features include a wood-panelled saloon/dining room with bespoke, hand-built seating and a spacious sun deck with spa pool. The comfortable cabin accommodation comprises two junior
suites and four staterooms and a choice of twin or double beds, all with marble en suite facilities.
La Belle Epoque is the perfect vessel to take you on a gentle voyage of discovery through a region studded with tradition and history that goes back centuries. As she meanders along the Burgundy Canal with its undulating countryside, you will...

CANAL BOAT LIVING UK | Canal boat costs | Narrow boat life
#canalboat #narrowboatlife #canalboatcosts
In this weeks episode we head down to Trinity Marina in Hinckley to catch up with my friend Jordan who has recently bought himself a Canal Boat to live in.
The last time Jordan appeared on Drunk On Wanderlust we were wild camping The Great Glen way together, but since then a lot has changed in his life!
He decided narrow boat life was the way forward, and hasn’t looked back. He kindly invited myself and Danni to stay for a few days to experience first hand the realities of Canal boat living In the UK and of course the costs involved.
We had a good look around his boat and found out the pros and cons compared to living in a conventional house or flat. After that we took the canal bo...

La Belle Epoque in her first life transported logs from Burgundy to Paris, but today she is transformed into a deluxe hotel barge carrying a very different cargo along the same canals.
She has been designed with both elegance and passenger comfort in mind and her welcoming features include a wood-panelled saloon/dining room with bespoke, hand-built seating and a spacious sun deck with spa pool. The comfortable cabin accommodation comprises two junior
suites and four staterooms and a choice of twin or double beds, all with marble en suite facilities.
La Belle Epoque is the perfect vessel to take you on a gentle voyage of discovery through a region studded with tradition and history that goes back centuries. As she meanders along the Burgundy Canal with its undulating countryside, you will find that the towpath is always there for a spot of walking or cycling.
There are many reasons to select La Belle Epoque as your vessel of choice on your next cruising holiday. She plies the peaceful Canal de Bourgogne in Northern Burgundy, boasting an itinerary that includes Chablis wine tasting, an excursion to the Abbaye de Fontenay and an optional (and unforgettable) hot air balloon flight. Champagne Wednesdays are a new and popular addition to her itinerary, while keen cyclists can take advantage of our “Biking Plus” option and admire her from the towpaths as well as the sun deck.
What is hotel barging?
Despite the growing popularity of cruising, especially on large river vessels, hotel barging is still a little known niche concept. Most hotel barges started life as cargo vessels but have since been painstakingly converted to offer luxury boutique accommodation for small groups of up to 20 passengers.
This is cruising, but in a very different style to ships plying the big rivers or oceans. The pace is slow, with a 6 day cruise covering maybe just 50 miles along a rural canal. Passengers can walk or bike the towpaths as their floating hotel glides gently along. Guests enjoy an intimate atmosphere, high levels of personal service and immersion into the culture, history and gastronomy of regions of Europe such as Burgundy, the Midi, or the Italian Veneto.
Every day there is an excursion, perhaps to a chateau, a vineyard for a wine tasting, or some other ‘off the beaten track’ location. About half of European Waterways’ bookings are for whole boat charters, ideal for families. Otherwise, clients book a cabin to join other like-minded people. A ‘slow boat’ European Waterways barge cruise offers the ultimate in experiential travel. A truly unique experience!
European Waterways offer luxury hotel barge cruises on the beautiful canals and rivers of Europe, such as through Burgundy, the Midi, Alsace, the Po Valley, Holland and the Scottish Highlands.
The exclusive collection of hotel barges accommodate up to 20 passengers who may charter a whole barge with family or friends, or join a small group of like-minded travellers on an individual cabin basis.
Each barge is fully crewed with a Captain, chef, hostesses, deck-hand and tour guide. The 6-night cruises include gourmet meals, fine wines, open bar, excursions and the use of facilities such as bicycles and spa pools.

So the rain stopped and we had a chance to vlog the canal water festival, held this time in Pelsall.. it was a nice afternoon worth a couple of hours enjoying the canal side and take the drone up to film the waterway from the air.

In this weeks episode we head down to Trinity Marina in Hinckley to catch up with my friend Jordan who has recently bought himself a Canal Boat to live in.
The last time Jordan appeared on Drunk On Wanderlust we were wild camping The Great Glen way together, but since then a lot has changed in his life!
He decided narrow boat life was the way forward, and hasn’t looked back. He kindly invited myself and Danni to stay for a few days to experience first hand the realities of Canal boat living In the UK and of course the costs involved.
We had a good look around his boat and found out the pros and cons compared to living in a conventional house or flat. After that we took the canal boat for a trip down Ashby Canal, so I could have a go at driving the narrow boat and try my hand at mooring for the first time.
We made it to Sutton Wharf where we moored about 100 meters from the cafe.
I loved every minute and was eager to hear about the costs involved of owning a canal boat home in England.
It was interesting to see how the narrow boat was heated and how the electricity worked whilst out on the water, also the diesel costs.
Jordan is definitely happy with his decision, and seems very content with boat life 😃 I must admit I am quite tempted myself! But atm, whilst I’m travelling so much and with my plans to go abroad for a while next year it wouldn’t be feasible.
I hope you enjoy this video, and if you haven’t already… hit that subscribe button for more adventures! Next week I am attempting another long distance walking trail, The Whereyman’s Way from Norwich to Great Yarmouth. I’ve also got a fun Halloween wild camp coming up shortly on haunted Pendle Hill!
Stay safe everyone 😃 x
