The most unique way to visit England...
Hotel barge cruises on the Thames River aboard Actief or Magna Carta
A cruise on a luxury hotel barge is quite unlike any other way to travel. From exceptional cuisine, wines, and attention from crew, to personalized excursions led by your barge crew, exploring unique and often little-known destinations on side trips each day in the barge's mini-van, the entire week is relaxing, pampered, and memorable.
There are two wonderful ways to explore England and the special hotel barge experience:
- Pick the 11-passenger ACTIEF for the feeling of an English country home, floating on the rural sections of the Thames River.
- Pick the 8-passenger MAGNA CARTA for luxurious accommodations cruising from Hampton Court to Henley, including a visit to Windsor Castle.
Choose either the Actief or the Magna Carta for the most innovative way to explore the English countryside and to learn its history from experienced guides. Each offers outstanding cuisine and crews that pamper you through the week like you've never experienced! You can precede a week's cruise with a trip to London, or take a few days after your cruise to explore the Cottswolds, or other destinations in England. What a way to spend a week! Clients come back to tell us that it was the most memorable vacation of their lives!

- Charter prices apply to "whole boat" charter, with the maximum number of guests. Call for special rates for chartering with fewer than the maximum number of passengers.
- "Per Person" prices are based on double occupancy. (For most barges, a single supplement applies see exceptions below).
- "Value" and "Regular" Season Prices. Where a range is given, the lower price applies to the "value" season, if available, and the higher price applies to the "regular season" (and to the higher cabin cost if a barge has a range of costs depending on cabin).

Some barges also have a lower cost value season (or "mid season") in July and August.
