From Strasbourg to Lagarde, embark on an authentic and traditional cruise in the heart of Alsace and Moselle.

Barge Trip to Alsace

  • Colorful European buildings with timber framing by a canal, surrounded by flowers and greenery under a partly cloudy sky.

    DAY 1: STRASBOURG

    Passengers are welcome to board our ship at 6:00 p.m. After comfortably settling into your cabins, we'll introduce our crew at a welcome cocktail. Tonight we'll enjoy dinner followed by a panoramic boat tour of Strasbourg.

  • A traditional European-style house with a half-timbered facade, red-tiled roof, and surrounded by greenery and a small garden.

    DAY 2: STRASBOURG - WALTENHEIM

    We’ll spend the morning cruising. In the afternoon, join us for an excursion to the lush region of Kochersberg and a visit to the Maison du Kochersberg museum and the Villa Meteor. In the evening, we’ll enjoy tarte flambée, a local specialty, at a restaurant in Waltenheim.

  • View of a canal with houses on both sides, flowers along the walkway, and a clear blue sky.

    DAY 3: WALTENHEIM - SAVERNE

    This morning will be spent cruising towards Saverne. Enjoy this bucolic journey passing the towns of Schwindratzheim, nestled on a hillside, and Hochfelden, a typical local village. During the morning, feel free to stroll or bike on the paved trails alongside the canal. In the afternoon, join us on a tour of the Château du Haut-Barr, nicknamed "The Eye of Alsace", where you will discover a splendid view over the Alsatian plains.

  • View from a rocky ledge overlooking a river valley with houses, surrounded by lush green hills and forest under a partly cloudy sky.

    DAY 4: SAVERNE - LUTZELBOURG

    We'll set out on a guided tour of Saverne. Virtually unknown by the usual tourist routes, the city offers a wide range of places to discover. We'll return on board and cruise towards Lutzelbourg. The canal winds through the Vosges Mountains before joining the Lorraine region. Late in the afternoon, we suggest you to set off on foot to marvel at Lutzelbourg Castle.

  • Scenic view of a lush green valley with a winding river, surrounded by forested hills and a small village with houses and roads under a partly cloudy sky.

    DAY 5: LUTZELBOURG

    Arzviller Inclined Plane - XOUAXANGE We'll set off for an excursion to the Arzviller inclined plane. Along the way, we will stop at the crystal glassworks near the inclined plane. We'll learn about this time-tested tradition, and watch crystal blowing and cutting demonstrations. The boat will cruise through the Artzviller inclined plane - an incredible experience. A fabulous structure, this transverse system boat "elevator” is one-of-a-kind in Europe. The inclined plane replaces 17 successive locks over 2.5 miles that once needed a full day to navigate.

  • Colorful town with buildings lining a canal, flowers on the bridge, and a clear blue sky.

    DAY 6: XOUAXANGE - LAGARDE

    This morning will be spent cruising towards Lagarde, passing through the Réchicourt lock, one of the largest in France, before continuing our journey through the lakes. In the afternoon, join us on a visit of Sarrebourg that will take us on the Chagall trail. Tonight is our gala evening and dinner.
