European Waterways has declared the 2015 cruise season “the year of the family,” offering up to 10 percent off the price of whole boat charters on ten of its most popular barges in the fleet. Since the vessels hold from just 8 to 12 passengers, chartering a hotel barge guarantees a personal, private holiday, with the option to modify family-friendly itineraries to meet the unique needs of your group. European Waterways offers the kind of experiences that are tailor-made for today’s multi-generational families.  For example, the 8-passenger Anjodi sails along the 330-year old Canal du Midi in France.  Among the family-friendly activities offered is a visit to the city of Carcassonne, the most complete medieval fortified city in existence and a visit to the unique Meze Dinosaur Park and Museum, the largest museum in Southern France dedicated to dinosaurs. Discounts off the whole boat charter on the Anjodi are available on March 29, April 5 and April 12 for a great spring break getaway!
