 Hotel barge Nymphea

Loire Valley Cruise

THE SIX PASSENGER NYMPHEA .... is a classic Dutch design with shallow draft and is ideal for navigating the incredibly beautiful yet somewhat sandy reaches of the river Cher in the Loire Valley. 

Refitted throughout, her traditional ship's interior features a warm classic decor of rich varnished hardwoods, stained glass and a welcoming country house atmosphere. Nymphea has three comfortable cabins providing twin beds and en-suite facilities. 

Her crew of Captain, Chef and Tour Guide are most knowledgeable about the history in this beautiful area, the regional wine and cuisine and are excellent hosts.
