Popularity of Le Boat’s Stylish ‘Horizon’ Cruiser Reflects Rising Numbers of Small Families and Couples Traveling to Europe, Says Le Boat

(TRAVPR.COM) USA - July 21st, 2016 - Lovers of culture and history, couples young and old, and “explorers” of all ages are turning to Le Boat, Europe’s number one self-skippered boating vacation company, to find the perfect boat for their need. A sold-out 2016 season for Le Boat’s popular new river cruiser, Horizon, reveals a market niche for cruisers that address the needs of couples and small families looking to vacation in Europe without sacrificing comfort, flexibility and style. Perfect for a young family, Horizon offers a roomy interior, a second sleeping cabin ideal for children, a bathroom with separate shower stall, and a very spacious dining area with all the amenities of a full kitchen. The cruiser also has a rear cockpit and roomy sundeck, complete with furniture, sink and barbeque – the only boat of its size in Europe’s inland waterways to offer such a level of amenities.  

Couples vacationing in Europe are discovering that they can book a cruiser for part of their journey and enjoy their destinations by water as well as land. The canals and small rivers provide an excellent break from overcrowded, “land-locked” attractions.  A self-skippered boat offers all the comforts of home and is a great way to spend quality time amid beautiful, rolling landscapes. They can cruise at their own pace and stop where they want, for as long as they want – while still enjoying the comforts of home.

With 2016 sold out, Le Boat’s Horizon is already accepting bookings for 2017, though dates are also filling fast and early reservations are advised.  Fortunately, there are a wide range of other cruisers in Le Boat’s extensive fleet still available for 2016 that can meet the demand of most travelers. For small groups and large families, for example, the Vision 4 comfortably accommodates up to nine people with its four hotel-style cabins, roomy interior and full entertainment center, while the Magnifique sleeps up to 10 with its four cabins, huge sundeck with a fixed table and media center.

Le Boat offers a free app that can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play stores that provides information and advice for getting the most out of your cruising vacation.
