Burgundy is one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, and its network of quiet canals makes it a dream destination for luxury barge cruising. The waterways weave through rolling vineyards, medieval towns, ancient abbeys, elegant châteaux and UNESCO-listed sites, offering the perfect balance of scenery, culture and gastronomy.

A Burgundy barge cruise allows you to explore:

• Peaceful canals lined with plane trees
• 60,000 acres of world-renowned vineyards
• Charming villages like Beaune, Chalon, and Flavigny
• Historic treasures from Roman times to the Dukes of Burgundy
• Local markets, cheese farms and artisan food producers

This is slow travel at its finest — intimate, authentic and deeply French.

Expect days filled with soft cruising, cycling along towpaths, wandering through vineyard lanes and enjoying onboard meals inspired by seasonal produce and regional wines.

Highlights may include:

• Wine tastings in legendary Grand Cru areas
• Visits to market towns filled with local delicacies
• Discovering medieval architecture and centuries-old abbeys
