Le Boat offers its Roadtrip, putting a twist on road trips: grab your suitcase, your car, discover new places, and travel the road as if you don't have a final destination, because each stop is a destination in itself. The company swaps the road for the river to offer a Rivertrip with the same flexibility, but with the comfort and tranquility of sailing along a canal surrounded by nature.
The main advantages of taking a Le Boat Rivertrip are:
– Flexibility and time management, as your watch will take a backseat on this trip. Since you're the one steering the boat, you decide when, how, and at what speed to travel, allowing you to fully enjoy each stop.
– Sleeping in absolute comfort, as with Le Boat you can sleep on board without having to worry about pitching a tent or finding accommodation.
– An economical and convenient option, thanks to the ability to bring everything you need for the trip, as well as the convenience of route planning.
Le Boat proposes three great options for this summer to try this new way of traveling, the river trip, with essential routes for those looking for a different vacation full of adventures and who love nature.
- The Netherlands – a country crisscrossed by canals, offering stunning views of its coastline from Friesland to Amsterdam. Enjoying the beautiful windmills nestled amidst dense tulip fields, relaxing in charming, tranquil villages, or exploring the stunning delta formed by the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt rivers are just a few of its attractions. Even if you choose Amsterdam, you can still explore the inland lakes that connect to the rest of Europe. And if you're an adventure seeker, this is the perfect destination for enjoying water sports.
- Alsace – Discover all kinds of experiences, from rural to urban areas, exploring vibrant French and German cities brimming with cosmopolitan life, contrasting with majestic castles and spectacular cuisine. With two routes to choose from, the Canal de la Marne au Rhin and the Canal des Houillères de la Sarre, which travel south through Germany to the Saar Valley before continuing east to Strasbourg, you'll journey not only through unforgettable landscapes but also through rich history. And if you're traveling with young children, you can stop at Europa-Park in Rust.
- Scotland – Sailing along the Caledonian Canal, you'll experience unspoiled nature and appreciate the beauty of the Highlands, a unique region dotted with castles and lochs. Discovering Lochy, Oich, and Ness, majestic lakes with crystal-clear waters nestled at the foot of Ben Nevis near Fort William, is an unforgettable experience.
Within the Le Boat fleet, there's a boat for you, which you can captain yourself without a license or prior experience. Just choose your preferences:
- Royal Mystique A, perfect for groups of up to 6 people. It includes 2 cabins, 2 bathrooms and a large deck.
- Horizon 3, 3 cabins with 3 bathrooms. Ideal for three couples to have all the privacy and tranquility they need.
- Crusader, 3 cabins with en-suite bathrooms. One of the most versatile due to its layout.
