For families seeking an unforgettable way to explore Europe and spend quality time together during the long summer break, European Waterways offers the ultimate experience with fully-crewed private charters aboard their elegant hotel barges. Tailored to multi-generational families, these cruises provide the perfect environment for creating shared memories, offering an intimate and flexible experience that larger ships and river cruisers simply can’t replicate.
A Private ‘Floating Villa’
With an experienced Captain and dedicated crew at the helm, families can fully immerse themselves in the charm of Europe’s smaller waterways in effortless style. On board, a host of delights awaits the whole family. Parents can unwind in the deck-top spa pool, sipping a refreshing drink as the picturesque scenery drifts by, while younger guests stay entertained with board games, puzzles, films, and Wi-Fi connectivity – or even join the chef for a hands-on cookery session! Each elegant Stateroom or Junior Suite is designed for ultimate comfort, offering the flexibility of double or twin beds and featuring fully equipped en suite shower rooms with all the essentials for a luxurious home-from-home experience.
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
As part of all Family Cruises, European Waterways offers complimentary equipment such as safety gates, highchairs, travel cots, children’s bikes and helmets, and car seats upon request. Whilst parents and grandparents can feast on a four-course culinary journey with fine wines, separate child-friendly menus and mealtimes are welcomed by the chef, who will be happy to accommodate younger guests’ needs.
‘Edu-Vacations’ for Everyone
Family Cruises are designed to help families bond with fun, yet educational activities for all ages. While each cruise is based on the chosen barge’s Classic Cruise itinerary, families can substitute up to four of the classic excursions with hand-picked experiences that cater to everyone’s interests. From cycling through vineyards and exploring charming villages to indulging in locally-inspired meals and meeting regional artisans, every day offers something new. These private charters can be tailored to suit the unique needs and interests of each family, with bespoke itineraries ensuring that everyone from grandparents to young children can enjoy their time on board.
