AFAR
Best for Planning a Canal Barge Cruise
It’s hard to talk about canal barge cruising without thinking of Ellen Sack, aka the Barge Lady and expert in the world of all things European barge cruising. Sack and her family-run travel company work as brokers for canal barge cruises in Europe, connecting travelers to the right sailing experience to suit their needs. From whole barge charters to booking an individual cabin on a classic barge, the world of canal barge cruises differs quite a bit from river cruises, offering slightly shorter itineraries in more intimate settings, accommodating anywhere between two and 20 people, compared to the upwards of 150 travelers that river cruise ships can host. You’ll find everything you need to know about sailing on waterways like the scenic Canal du Midi in the South of France or the Caledonian Canal in the Scottish Highlands with help from Sack and the rest of the Barge Lady crew.

Ultimately, Barge Lady guests are then welcomed to their “floating house party” as dear friends, not typical clients. We also maintain this personalized connection with our clients year-round through targeted email marketing, the best blog posts in the industry, and all sorts of fun social media.

Wine Enthusiast
The Best Cruises for Wine Lovers
Rather than float aboard a river boat, you can also cruise by barge. Antique canals meander through Europe’s countryside and lend themselves to such travel. Once used for cargo transport, these barges serve as floating boutique hotels along the preserved waterways. The refurbished ships are perfect for groups of 2 to 20 passengers seeking a wine program that takes them through places such as the Loire, Burgundy, or Alsace. Book at Barge Lady Cruises, as this Chicago-based team has experience with a variety of small ship cruises and is great for people who want to compare barging options and get travel advice.
