Delighting guests since 2015

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Serenity Barge gliding along the river through the Champagne region of France. Our hosts, Claire and Graham, did everything they could do to cater to our wishes. The dinners they arranged for us were delicious. The outings were informative and tailored to our preferences. Salt and Pepper, the cats. even added a personal touch. Watching Claire expertly maneuver the locks was an adventure in itself. When it came to being pampered, imagine lazing in a hot tub and sipping champagne produced from the vines surrounding you. Ahh, this was the life. Viva la France!

We had a fabulous week on Serenity Barge- food, accomodation and experiences were all superb. From the moment we walked onto the barge and were met with champagne (of course) and nibbles on deck, as our bags were taken to our cabins, until the champagne breakfast on the last day, we were continually looked after. Highlights included champagne and cocktails in the spa on deck while cruising, amazing meals (particularly on the barge!) and learning about and tasting so much champagne. Thanks Claire and Graham for a really special trip.
