France Cruises showcases a variety of family barge trips to fit any taste and budget (from $6,795-$37,900 total per cruise). These river boats travel through Provence, Burgundy, the Loire Valley or Southern France. Each cruise is tailored to your family’s own needs with a personal chef and an array of activities depending on your itinerary and interests. Some of the many adventures include biking (kept on the barge for your stay), swimming, kayaking, treasure hunts, horseback riding, 4-wheel driving, hot air ballooning, cooking classes, lounging on deck, helping the captain and more. Meals, from a casual picnic along the banks to a dress-up dinner, will be custom catered to your family’s tastes, great for picky eaters and those with food allergies. The barge moves daily; so there is always somewhere new to explore together including historic attractions, quaint towns, village markets, wineries and parks. Separate adult and child excursions can also be planned and an additional cabin in the crew quarters is available to bring a nanny along. The boat also has a full range of DVD’s, iPod docking stations and games for relaxing entertainment any time.
