About European Waterways 

Established in 1974 European Waterways offers luxury hotel barging which is an immersive, all-inclusive “gentle voyage of discovery” that focuses on the culture, history, fine wine, and gourmet cuisine of the region. With a 6 to 20-person capacity and a 1:2 crew ratio, European Waterways can provide an impeccable level of onboard service, as they transport their guests on the intimate inland waterways that are inaccessible to larger vessels.
