Have you been thinking about exploring Europe by ship and are you looking for a luxurious experience that you will never forget? Then I have something for you: How about barge cruises in France?
I was recently invited by European Waterways to join them on a barge cruise in the Champagne region in France, and it was my favorite cruise experience so far. We were only seven passengers on board the Panache, a remodeled freight barge that offered all the amenities of a 5-star hotel.
For six days, we were spoiled with delicious food, charming views of the rolling vineyards, and exquisite local wines and champagnes.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Europe Up Close.
