Your Booking
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.
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.
