Soak up some seriously slow cruising, far from the madding crowd, aboard a classic 1922 luxemotor barge and my comfortable summer home.
Joining the barge makes you an integral part of the team. You'll need to be reasonably agile and willing to participate in most aspects of shipboard life.
Nilaya offers most of the comforts of a home away from your home. Her two cosy cabins can be arranged as either twin or double and both have private en-suite shower rooms. She has a spacious saloon with big panoramic windows offering great views, day or night plus a well equipped galley. The barge accommodates up to four guests, so once you've booked, it'll be a bit like having your own private barge.
They say that you only regret the things you failed to do in life? Just imagine that fun you've yet to have. Don't hesitate to get in touch if I can be of any further assistance. New photographs, links and information are being added to this site all the time. |

Join her
voyage of discovery through the river and canal navigations of France,
Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and enjoy helping move a
beautiful, historic barge through a small part of the extensive waterways of Europe. 
Informal, fun, hands on barge
holidays is what it's all about and although its preferable to muck in to get the best
from the experience, there will be loads of time to relax as well. 
This might include
shopping for food at local markets, cycling off to find fresh baguettes and croissants
for breakfast, assisting in the galley, tidying up, helping work the barge
through locks, navigation, steering, and most importantly, telling the
captain where to go....
You'll need to
participate, make your own bed, have an
open mind, great sense of humour and accept that things can and will go pear
shaped sometimes.
If you arrive aboard the barge with a positive mindset, you will quite simply have the time
of your life.
Once
aboard, I hope to
indulge you in my passion for global travel, Belgian beer, local wine, tasty regional cuisine and soaking up the ever changing landscapes
that glide ever so gently past the barge.
Payments
from
guests provide for day to day running and most importantly, the large maintenance fund
keeping my 88 year old, 82 ton barge afloat! 
She's my wonderful cruising home
for twenty five weeks each year and I
welcome you to her unreservedly. Who knows? Barging in France might turn out
to be one of your most Wonderful vacations?
