Promotions and Discounts For 2008 On Canal & Co Cruises

Some 2 for 1 Specials available--limited space

A group of investors have purchased time share cabins on Canal & Company's  five  boats.   Some of these timeshare owners will not use their cabins this year and will make them available for the EXCLUSIVE use of  French Hotel Barge clients as part of a promotional package.  

These timeshare cabins are the same cabins listed in general available inventory but are limited in number to a certain  number of timeshare cabins on each departure. Thus you may find availability on a departure but no discount timeshare cabins as the timeshare capacity has already been met.

These timeshare cabins will often be sold as a special promotion including pre and post cruise hotels and transfers to the barge from the meeting point in Paris, Amsterdam or Frankfurt.  Or they may be a simple discount.

Some of the other barges noted here may also offer special promotions on certain dates.  We will post all promotions on this website for you as soon as we get them.

Canal du Midi

South of France

Sunshine is a given

Canal cruise on the canal du Midi, southern France. Clair de Lune travel on the beautiful Canal du Midi in the South of France where sunshine is a given. This canal is argued by some to be the most beautiful in France.  I would not disagree.  But the Midi was built 250 years ago when boats were smaller.  The normal size canal boat will not fit into the locks.  Clair de Lune is not a barge conversion but was built specifically for this canal.  It is magnificent.

Retail prices from $3900 per person double.
