Barging is, in reality, an exclusive and elegant means of travel. The amenities vary by each vessel but all include your own personal crew and typically accommodate approximately 6 to 20 travelers. Most operators offer a few styles of barging to choose from: Hotel departures- where cabins are booked separately by individual travelers, just like hotel rooms. Charter - all cabins on board are reserved for the exclusive use of the chartering party. This is ideal for family and friends wishing to have extra privacy. If you have a larger group, barges can be linked to travel in tandem by special arrangement. Some companies also offer Speciality departures - which cater to your own uniques interests: wine, cycling, walking, cooking, antiques, shopping etc.
