Hotelboat cruises are perfect if you
want a packaged all inclusive holiday where all the hard
work is done for you. Its ideal if you dont
want to be physically active, or if you are traveling alone, or if you just like to be looked after on
vacation! Its not for family groups since
most dont accept children, unless you charter the
whole boat, ideal for a larger group. Most
boats operate in twos, called a pair of
narrowboats, taking up to 12 guests. |

You get a canal and /or river cruise
usually for a minimum of one week. Most boats cover
different routes each week so you will see something
different if you stay 2 or more weeks. You get generous
home cooked meals, friendly like minded fellow travelers and private accommodation in compact but
cozy 1 or 2
berth cabins, some with en suite facilities. Most boats
have small lounges/bars and libraries. All the steering
and lock work is done by the crew who are pleased to let
you help if you wish. The routes are specially picked for
their interest and accessibility. All canal holidays are informal affairs,
just pack the things you are comfortable in, and remember
some walking shoes and waterproofs if you want to spend
time off the boats!
