European Waterways introducing more active barge cruises
European Waterways is launching active itineraries for guests, a first for the brand.
The luxury barge cruise company is debuting the new travel style with private charters, giving families and groups of friends the ability to embark on a bespoke itinerary. At the heart of this travel style is immersive and experience-based travel.
"Many modern travelers crave more than just a beautiful view: They want stories, hands-on experiences and a deeper sense of connection," said managing director Derek Banks.
For example, with the private charters travelers can swap a chateau tour for a hike or take a cooking class instead of visiting a museum.
Other excursions available on the private charters include golf, kayaking, truffle hunting and falconry.
European Waterways vessels can accommodate from eight to 20 guests and include locally sourced cuisine, a private chef and private guide.
