A canal barge is a small
vessel that carries from six to fifty passengers. More like a floating
Bed & Breakfast than a boat,
very often a barge is a vessel originally built in the early 1900's as
a freighter before being converted to a hotel barge. Their amenities are
generally more inclusive than the usual cruise experience, offering everything
from saunas, Jacuzzis and bicycles onboard, to open bars on some barges.
However, most barges do not have televisions, phones, laundry service or
Internet connection onboard. Pricing on a barge is all-inclusive, with
all meals, excursions and taxes included. Barging is a casual vacation
experience and can either be as relaxing or fast-paced as you wish. The
slow movement of the barge allows for biking or walking alongside without
being left behind. A canal cruise is typically 6 nights/7 days in length.
