Physically
challenged or need wheel
chair accessibility? Smoking: No smoking inside of the barge. Smoking is allowed outside, but please be considerate of other guests on board.
All barges have English-speaking crew. Most are British. Some crew will speak other European languages as well.
Guided excursions. While very interesting, perhaps you just want to chill out on the barge, take a snooze, or do something else that afternoon. That's OK, too.
Let us know if:
- you have a special event during your cruise, such as a birthday or anniversary.
- you have food allergies or special dietary requirements
- you have a medical condition or take medications that the crew should know about
We always stress that good communication between guests and crew is important. If you have a problem, don't hide it... let them know as they want this to be your best vacation ever :)
