NOTES on PRICES:
BargesInFrance.com is closed. Archived information for 2023 only. Information will not be updated.
- All prices are in US Dollars (a few exceptions)
- Unless otherwise indicated, all prices are for full board charters or cabin bookings.
- Charter prices apply to "whole boat" charter, with the maximum number of guests.
Contact us by phone or email for special rates for chartering with fewer than the
maximum number of passengers.
- "Per Person" prices are based on double occupancy. (For most barge cruises,
a single supplement applies; see specific prices on the web page for each barge).
- "Value" and "Regular" Season Prices.
Where a range is given, the lower price applies to the "value" season and/or the lower cost cabin for
the few barges where there are price differences among cabins, and the higher price applies
to the "regular season" and/or to the higher priced cabin.
Value season prices are lower than regular season prices.
Value season varies by barge, but typically applies to the first three weeks in April
and the last two weeks in October through November. Some barges also have a
lower cost value season (or "mid season") in July and August.
Hotel barges typically cruise for seven days and six nights from early April to
late October. Most start on a Saturday or Sunday. A few barges offer half week
charter cruises.

above to go to the web page for THAT hotel barge.
