EU Barges Holiday Hire

If life on a converted Dutch Barge (or Thames Barge) appeals to you, but you really don't want to sell your house and move to a waterside location permanently, then a barge holiday is going to be an experience to enjoy. Holidays on a barge offer many of the attractions of a tour all rolled into one package without the need to pack your suitcase every night and sit in cars, coaches or trains to watch the scenery pass by. Widebeam barges offer the interior space to accommodate visitors comfortably, with enough room to 'swing' the proverbial long-suffering cat! You can expect to eat well, travel at a leisurely pace through beautiful scenery and visit interesting spots; and all without leaving the deck! However, if your idea of a holiday includes something a little more demanding then there are themed holidays based on barges that offer a variety of activites as your floating home passes along the waterways. You can combine your waterways experience with golf, cycling, walking, visiting historic towns, villages and monuments, You might want to explore the waterways of Scotland, France, Holland, Italy, Belgium, England and so on. If 'doing your own thing', whilst holidaying on the inland waterways, is what you really want to do then hiring a barge just for yourself and family group would provide the perfect holiday answer. Widebeam barges for hire, like the Dutch Barge, are not plentiful in the UK as many rivers and waterways are not easily navigable by a large boat but there are many more opportunities for hiring these boats on European waterways. If it's a holiday in the UK that is wanted then a holiday on board a narrowboat (to give these narrow barges their correct name) might be just the thing for you..
