The spectacular Loire Valley’s main tributary - the River Cher - has carried cargo and passengers for over 2000 years since Roman times, and you will follow in their footsteps on this romantic cruise route. Picture yourself floating past a fairy-tale castle with turrets and arches—just like in ‘Sleeping Beauty’ - and you are already aboard the Nymphea...This very different cruise route brings you into contact with the glorious rolling countryside, cuisine, vineyards and architectural heritage that make this region so enchanting. Nymphea is of Dutch design and was adapted to navigate the very beautiful yet shallow waters of the River Cher. The traditional ship’s interior features a warm, classic décor of rich varnished hardwoods and stained glass, creating a very pleasant country house atmosphere. On board you will find she has a well-appointed saloon/dining area with large table and chairs for dining and a relaxing sitting area. There is also a bar and small library of books. Cabins are pretty but not fussy, and there is a spacious sun deck where guests may rest and watch the ever-changing panorama of river life. If you’ve ‘done’ Burgundy and the Canal du Midi it’s time to experience somewhere new!
