Les Bateaux Belmond

Les Bateaux Belmond is Belmond's collection of exquisitely restored river barges gliding along the canals of France through Burgundy, Champagne, Provence and beyond. Each barge carries just a handful of guests, closer to a private country house afloat than a conventional cruise.

The barges travel canals threading Burgundy, Champagne, Provence and beyond, including the Canal de Bourgogne.

Days unfold gently: cycling or walking the towpaths, visiting vineyards and historic villages, then returning aboard for regional cuisine. Bicycles are carried on board and the barge is never more than a lock or two behind.

Once your annual Belmond spend passes $10,000, you receive a $500 gift voucher to put towards a future Belmond experience of $2,500 or more.

It suits travellers drawn to the quieter, more immersive side of luxury travel. Each barge carries just a handful of guests, so it feels closer to a private country house afloat than a conventional cruise, and it works well for families or friends taking a barge together.
