The MS Niagara Barge

 

The MS Niagara is a very cosy barge with an authentically French, ‘boaty’ atmosphere on board. She offers individual cruisers or groups of up to 6 guests accommodation in three spacious, light suites, each with opening windows and private bathroom. The panoramic and unique saloon also houses the helm, so passengers will have a close-up view of all nautical activities carried out by the international-speaking crew, and are sometimes invited to get involved—under the close eye of the Captain of course! In addition to the ‘boaty’ saloon, the on-board heated swimming pool is another real highlight of this exceptional barge. The MS Niagara is the ‘sister ship’ of ‘La Reine Pedauque’, and together they cruise the same gentle route along the Burgundy canal. It is rural and you will meander gently from village to village. The lush green landscape and gentle villages on this route will surely enchant you. With an international speaking crew to cater for your needs, you can lie back in a deckchair on the sundeck and watch the landscape glide by, cycle along the towpath or take an excursion inland – a great way to enjoy Burgundy. MS Niagara can cruise ‘in tandem’ with La Reine Pedauque, providing a luxurious barge cruise for groups of up to 14 guests.

Exploration of the historic town of Dijon
