The Clair de Lune Barge

 

 

The Clair de Lune is a purpose built passenger charter barge completed in 1997 in the Netherlands. Designed and built by Berend Gozens, she is the culmination of over 20 years experience catering for a discerning international clientèle. The large picture windows in both the salon and cabins ensure that you are able to “watch the world float by” at all times and plenty of natural light floods in from the outside world. Cabins are spacious and well appointed with classy furnishings, whilst bathrooms are beautifully tiled and generously proportioned. Gourmet meals are prepared with skill and imagination from fresh local produce by the professionally trained chef, whilst the wines are meticulously selected by the barge to represent the very best of the region and beyond. The experienced, well educated and knowledgeable barge guide will accompany you on excursions chosen to suit your group’s interests. Cruise in decadence past poppy and corn fields, lush green maize growing higher than your head, and perfect rows of vines and olive trees. Cruises are full board with exquisite gourmet food and fine wines served every lunch and dinnertime.
