European Waterways Adds Four ‘Champagne Cruises’ in June
(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - April 29th, 2015 - NEW 6-night itinerary aboard hotel barge ‘Panache’ departing June 7, 14, 21 and 28
To meet demands for its popular fully-crewed hotel barge cruises through France’s Champagne Region, European Waterways has added four new departures aboard hotel barge ‘Panache’ this June. Transfers to and from the vessel from central Paris are included in the price of $6,090 per person, so passengers have the extra opportunity to linger on their own in the “City of Lights” prior to or after the cruise. These special departures are available June 7, 14, 21, and 28.
The 6-night Champagne Cruise highlights include:
- Cruising the historic River Marne and the Canal Lateral a la Marne
- Private tastings at three Champagne houses, including one in Epernay
- Visit to the WW1 battlefield of Château Thierry and the cemetery at Belleau Wood
- Tour of Reims, featuring the city’s majestic, 800-year-old Gothic cathedral and a tasting at a renowned “fromagier”, or cheese maker
- Visit to the hilltop village of Hautvillers, where Dom Perignon discovered the “Methode Champenoise”, the special way of getting the sparkle into the wine
The $6,090 per person price of the 6-night cruise includes gourmet meals prepared by an on-board chef and served with fine wines, open bar, and daily escorted excursions. It also includes admission fees and transportation, and round trip transfers between Paris and Panache by private air-conditioned minibus.
Champagne cruise charters for family celebrations, club members, and other private groups are also available. There is $15,000 off the charter price for 12-passengers, reducing the cost to $4,250 per person. For more details visit www.gobarging.com/panache-classic-champagne-2015-itinerary

Later this summer, European Waterways is also offering 6-night cruises aboard the Panache in Alsace, a region in Eastern France with a unique mix of French and German cultures. The cruise price is $5,250 per person, but right now there are savings of $1,250 per person (double occupancy) available for departures July 12th and August 2nd.
