Organising a conference or corporate event that will really make your company stand out from the competition and persuade your clients to come back to you time and time again is no easy task. What you want and need is somewhere or something different, so that those attending will be inspired to make the event successful and productive…

The beautiful and luxurious Renaissance, cruising south of Paris. Wow your business associates, reward your employees or simply leave the competition trailing behind you....

The Barge Company offers the perfect alternative to the usual dreary venues and anonymous locations. We can arrange for conferences, corporate entertainment or incentive travel events you are organising, to take place on the most luxurious barges cruising along the waterways of Europe amidst glorious surroundings, to ensure that delegates get the most from their working and relaxation hours in a way no other venue can.

Deluxe cabins on Renaissance

Our barges can accommodate between five to fifty people for six night cruises. Operating between March and October, the itinerary is flexible, the accommodation of the highest quality - en suite cabins, full crew aboard including your very own chef and a wide choice of leisure pursuits for outside conference hours, either on or off board. Some barges have their own swimming pool, fitness room or library, and off board interests could include golf, wine appreciation, art, theatre or antiques.

Versatility is one of our key strengths, which means that the event can be tailored to meet the needs of your clients. This enables you to set up an event that is going to be looked forward to with anticipation, attended with pleasure, and remembered with enjoyment. This must surely be what all conferences, corporate events and incentive travel packages aim for, but very few actually achieve.

The Barge Company has been operating for 10 years (since 1997) and we are the European agent for nearly fifty barges across France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Italy. Our existing clients and customers come from all over the world. We are confident that we can offer you a unique opportunity to impress your clients and customers. Please call or email us (details at bottom of page) to discuss your requirements. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
