RIVER: AQUA EXPEDITIONS
Aqua Expeditions transforms river travel into a journey of cultural awakening and timeless wonder. Aboard the Aqua Mekong, guests glide through a landscape shaped by more than 2,000 years of history, where the legacy of the Khmer Empire and the spiritual depth of Theravada Buddhism still echo along the riverbanks of Cambodia and Vietnam. Expertled excursions bring this heritage to life, kayaking to floating villages, exploring ancient temples, and cycling past emerald rice fields, while the awardwinning vessel offers a sanctuary of elegance with a 1:1 crewtoguest ratio and beautifully designed suites. With yearround itineraries linking Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap, the Aqua Mekong offers an intimate, immersive way to experience one of the world’s most culturally rich waterways.
Across the globe, the Peruvian Amazon invites explorers into the beating heart of the planet, a rainforest so vast and biodiverse that one in every ten known species calls it home. This is a realm of discovery, where narrow river channels reveal pink dolphins, monkeys in the canopy, and the birthplace of the mighty Amazon River. Aqua Expeditions’ two vessels, the contemporary Aqua Nera and the iconic Aria Amazon, carry guests into this pristine wilderness with comfort and sophistication. Twicedaily excursions led by expert naturalists unveil rare wildlife, while onboard spaces, from serene suites to the spa, plunge pool, and panoramic lounges, offer a luxurious retreat after days filled with exploration.

EUROPEAN WATERWAYS
European Waterways operates the largest collection of luxury hotel barges in Europe, offering slowpaced, immersive journeys along the continent’s most picturesque canals and rivers. Their vessels sail through iconic regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, the Loire Valley, Gascony, and Provence in France; the Scottish Highlands via the Caledonian Canal; Ireland’s River Shannon; Italy’s Venetian Lagoon; and the waterways of Holland and Belgium during tulip season. Each route is designed to showcase the landscapes, history, and culture of Europe at a wonderfully intimate scale, with daily excursions to vineyards, châteaux, markets, artisan workshops, and charming medieval towns. Every voyage invites travellers to slow down, savour the scenery, and experience Europe from a beautifully unhurried perspective.
European Waterways is renowned for its highly personalized service and refined yet relaxed atmosphere. With just 6–20 guests per barge, travellers enjoy gourmet meals prepared by onboard chefs, an open bar, and attentive crew members who handle every detail, from guided tours to bicycles waiting ashore for leisurely exploration. The experience feels like staying in a floating country house, where fine dining, regional wines, and warm hospitality create a deeply indulgent and culturally rich way to explore Europe’s hidden waterways.
France
BELMOND
Belmond’s barging cruises invite you into a France that few travellers ever truly experience , a France of quiet waterways, sun warmed vineyards, and timeless villages where life drifts by at the pace of the river. Aboard each vessel feels like a floating country manor, uniquely styled with antiques, handpainted murals, heated pools, or even a grand piano. Elegant cabins, ensuite bathrooms, and thoughtful touches create an atmosphere of effortless elegance, while private chefs transform fresh market produce into unforgettable meals. As you drift beneath planetree canopies or past medieval villages, the world seems to slow, soften, and reveal its most beautiful details.
Across Burgundy, Provence, Beaujolais, and the Canal du Midi, each barge traces its own path into the heart of French art de vivre. One day brings rare wine tastings in storied châteaux; the next, sunlit strolls through port towns or lavender fields viewed from the deck with a chilled rosé in hand. Whether aboard Fleur de Lys, Amaryllis, Lilas, Napoléon, or Pivoine, every journey blends indulgence with discovery. Belmond’s sevennight voyages, offered as private charters or percabin escapes, are crafted for those who want not just to see France, but to feel it, intimately, luxuriously, and with a sense of wonder that lingers long after the river bends out of sight.
