A Barge Cruise is unlike any other

A Barge Cruise aboard the Randle offers a luxurious, personalised canal cruise experience offered by Edge Charter, which specializes in small-scale, private yacht barge charters for travellers seeking a more intimate, leisurely, and customized way to explore the French, waterways. This experience revolves around travelling on a specially designed barge, a small luxury yacht, through scenic canals of Burgundy, with a focus on comfort, relaxation, and exploring off-the-beaten-path destinations.

Key Features of our Barge Cruises

1. Private, Tailored Experiences:
o One of the main draws of an Edge Charter cruise is the exclusivity and personalisation. Passengers charter the entire barge for up to thirteen nights, often with a bespoke itinerary. The experience can be designed to suit the preferences of the guests, whether it is for a romantic getaway, a family reunion, or a friends’ retreat.

2. Luxurious Comfort:
o The Randle is well-equipped, providing a luxurious setting with elegant cabins, top-quality amenities, and gourmet meals. Guests are treated to the highest standards of service, and the intimate nature of our cruises allows for more personalized attention compared to larger cruise vessels.

3. Unique Destinations:
o Our barge cruises take place in Burgundy, France. Guests can explore the scenic countryside, historical landmarks, charming villages, and vibrant towns from the comfort of their own floating hotel. The pace is slow and relaxed, perfect for travellers who want to immerse themselves in their surroundings.

4. Activities and Excursions:
o Our cruises include guided shore excursions, such as cycling through picturesque landscapes, wine-tasting tours, or exploring historical sites. The activities are flexible and can be tailored to the interests of the guests. Because barges travel through smaller waterways, they visit areas that larger cruise vessels cannot reach.

5. Small Groups:
o The cruise experience is aimed at small groups. This allows for a more relaxed atmosphere and the opportunity to forge deeper connections with the local culture and people. The small size also means the crew can offer a very personalised service.

6. Gourmet Dining:
o Our cruises include gourmet meals, featuring locally sourced ingredients and wines. Meals are served in a formal or semi-formal setting and are tailored to guests' dietary preferences or requests.

7. Relaxed Pace:
o Unlike larger cruises that may rush to multiple ports of call in a short period, a barge cruise offers a much slower, more relaxed pace, spending several days in one region. The focus is on enjoying the surroundings, the boat, and the luxury of time.
