Bike and Boat

Bike and boat holidays have become very popular in recent years and we offer a huge choice of options throughout Europe. These floating hotels deliver you to new and exciting destinations each day, enabling you to see much more of a country or region than would normally be feasible on a traditional cycling holiday.

Typical day

The captain and crew take care of everything on board, leaving you and your fellow passengers free to enjoy the cruise and daily bike rides. Each morning after breakfast you'll disembark somewhere new and follow a well-planned cycle route that showcases the local sights and scenery. At the end of the ride the boat is waiting and soon you're enjoying a relaxing afternoon cruise to your next idyllic, overnight stop.

After dinner on board, why not step ashore for a stroll around your new surroundings? You may be tempted to duck into a cosy bar for a nightcap before retiring to the boat and your comfortable cabin.

Fancy a day off from cycling? No problem, just stay on board and enjoy a peaceful cruise to the next stop, watching the scenery drift by.

Boats

The category of boat offered depends mainly on the type of route you choose. On river, waterway and canal routes you will typically live aboard a luxury barge or comfortable river cruiser. On coastal routes, beautiful, well-appointed motor yachts tend to be the craft of choice.

Destinations

The waterways of Holland and Belgium are ideal for relaxing bike and boat holidays. Level terrain and the world's best cycle path network make these routes a very popular choice for many. In the spring time, dedicated Tulip Fields Bike and Boat Tours offer cyclists the extraordinary experience of cycling through kaleidoscopic fields of fresh blooms.

The Danube River is another very popular destination for Bike and Boat holidays. The famous Danube Cycle Path offers scenic, riverside cycling past historic towns and cities. On a bike and boat holiday you'll ride the very best stretches of this long-distance route.

If you really want to push the boat out (sorry), then consider the blissfully idyllic cruises around the serene Dalmatian Islands of Croatia . Besides the stunningly scenic cycling and cosy, overnight stays in pretty, medieval ports you'll also enjoy the unforgettable experience of swimming from your luxury motor-yacht in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic.
