FULLBOARD “with help”:
Kitchen & household duties by passengers (FB)
A very moderately priced arrangement and therefore very well suited for tours with groups of students & youngsters, but also for any other kind of “active” tour. During a barge cruise, the cook will prepare 3 meals a day (first and last day 1 or 2), “European kitchen”. Passengers will participate in “kitchen & household duties”: they will set and clear the tables, wash up and will be responsible for the cleaning of passenger’s accommodation (incl. final cleaning).

FULLBOARD- PLUS (FB+):
No kitchen & household duties by passengers.
When booking FULLBOARD-PLUS, the crew will do all household & kitchen work (incl. final cleaning) during the tour. The cook will prepare and serve 3 meals a day and 2 times a day coffee and tea. FB+ is therefore very well suited for tours with groups of adults and/or for special interest tours.

BOAT+BIKE PACKAGES for “BOAT + BIKE TOURS”
Meal-arrangements on “Standard & Comfort Class” ships during Boat + Bike Tours consist of: (7x) breakfast & dinner on board, (6x) packed “picnic” lunch (compose yourself) for bike tours, coffee & tea on board, use of duvets (or similar) and towels. Bike rental and tour leader are not included in this price, but can be booked separately.

Except for boat bike packages and some “Economy Class” barges, use of bed sheets & blankets is not included in the prices. You can bring your own sleeping bag or rent sheets & blankets (& towels) in advance.

Rent of bikes is possible aboard canal barges. On request we can send you information about our so-called “GUIDED BARGE & BIKE TOURS” for groups. When renting bikes you will be asked to pay a safety deposit. In case of no damage, this deposit will be fully refunded.

7 days € 60,00 per bike
5 days € 48,00 per bike
