I had a great time on the cruise. The crew was excellent. Hilda, Yohanis as Tessa clearly exceptional. I did have issues with the office Staff. I was coming from CA and had to get Covid tested before I reentered the United States. I contacted Josie a couple of times who works in the front office. Covid testing was supposed to take place on board the boat but a few days before the cruise it was cancelled. I asked Jossie how can I get covid tested before a flight which was the morning after. Jossie did not offer anything affirmative and did not reach out to the crew while I was in the US. It was my suggestion I get tested in Gent and jossie sent me a link to a website in a foreign language. I asked myself, how would I be able to get there? What time should I book my appointment? Is it going to be anywhere near the bike tour? I had no choice but to cancel my flight returning to the USA and book another 24 hours later and spend a night at a Brussels Hotel at my expense. I lost a day at work and my new last minute flight had 2 layovers one 9, hours (Phoenix) and one 7 hours in (Newark). This was not necessary since the crew new how to handle it. Clearly there was poor communication between the office in the crew. One person in this company dropped the ball and I paid the price.

The Iris is a beautiful barge! Very comfortable and relaxing. The staff are all delightful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and looked after. Food was very good but a couple nights could have done with a bit more on the plate. Wrong turns by the guide as we all followed got to be a bit much after a few days so I think they either need better GPS or more familiarity with the route!! All in all a great week though and would highly recommend!!

I was on the tour from Avignon to Aiguës Mortes. Some difficult personal circumstances arose for me on the first day of the tour. The staff and the company were as accommodating as they could have been. Lots of companies can show you a good time; this was my third trip with Eurosail and they showed me great professionalism and customer service, in more difficult times. Lisa

This was my first trip to Europe and my first bike/barge trip. The staff were friendly and professional and went out of their way to make our experience the best it could be. Our accomadation was comfortable and spacious, the food was delicious and as I am a vegetarian they made sure that my meals were just as varied and tasty as the regular meals. Our daily cycling was easily done and the stops to various places eg. cheese factory and clock tower were informative and fun. Overall a wonderful experience that you should try!!.

Overall I would say that it was a fantastic trip! Our guide, Hugo, was incredible. He was attentive, knowledgeable, entertaining, and responsive to our needs. Breakfasts and lunches were wonderful but the cook was new and the dinners were not always great. She put forth good effort but didn’t have a lot of experience. The other two members of the crew were wonderful. The boat was ok. It seemed to be an older boat and wasn’t as big and didn’t have as much light as the other boat we had been on, the Fleur.

This was the best active vacation I have ever taken! The Iris was well organized and well stocked. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly and the guides were fun to spend time with and full of information about the areas we rode through. I will be back!

Charter a ship | All Over Europe

There is no better way to travel with a group of friends or family through Europe than to spend carefree days cycling through lush valleys, quaint villages and past ancient monuments and peaceful evenings drifting along endless canals as the sun sets over the surrounding countryside. We fondly refer to our ships as “floating hotels” because they combine all the luxuries of a hotel with the intimate atmosphere of a ship whose devoted crew and professional chef are there to ensure you are well-looked after throughout your stay.

If you are looking for an authentic way to experience European cuisine, culture, art and architecture with a group of friends or family, have a look at the tours we have on offer and book a holiday experience you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Why choose Eurosail Travel

  • Our tours combine the adventure of cycling through European countryside with the carefree experience of sailing along Europe’s canals on a “floating hotel”. You will meet friendly locals and learn about the culture in the most authentic way possible.
  • Our ships are spacious enough to be comfortable, but intimate enough to guarantee our guests get personal attention. At mealtimes, delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients set the standard and a full-time staff of multi-lingual crew members look after your every need
  • The small biking groups are accompanied by expert guides. We have created route options that let you customize your experience to your desired level of activity
