| CANAL CRUISING 
Escorted Canal Barges Canal barges in France and Holland offer a more ‘close up’ view of the people and the countryside. These hotel barges carry about 20 to 50 passengers. Barge cruise vacations feature all-inclusive gourmet meals, usually complimentary wine, experienced friendly English speaking crew members, and unique daily excursions with guide and motorcoach. Luxury hotel barging offers you casual elegance and comfort. Having cruised eleven times on the French, German, and Dutch canal barges, Gott-A-Travel agents are the barge experts. For special discounts please Click Here Self-Drive Canal Boats If you are the ‘do it yourself type,’ rent a self-skippered
yacht-like boat to drive yourself through the calm canal waters in France,
and Holland. Or choose a narrow boat in England. Or fish from your boat
in the rivers or lakes of Ireland and Scotland. Or cruise past gondolas
in Venice, Italy or past castles in Germany. These self-catering boats
berth 4 to 10 passengers and are quite economical when shared with family
and friends. By providing your own food and drink, this can be a value-oriented
vacation cruise. Boats are easy to operate and routes are well charted
out. Since you choose your itinerary, it can be either very laid back
and relaxing or an active ‘soft adventure.' CANAL CRUISE LINES
