Indian summer!

Much of Europe is currently enjoying an Indian Summer. To celebrate, we are offering a variety of discounts of up to 40% on selected self drive cruises in October!
Come and see the vineyards and woodlands in their autumn hues... Simply stunning on a misty morning as the sun rises.

The Nivernais Loire and the Burgundy canal are both particularly beautiful at this time of year.

With boats to suit from 2-12, we are sure to have something to suit... Why not give us a call on +33 614 250 200 to discuss your holiday plans today.....

I look forward to your call...

Autumn colours....

The wine harvest is drawing to a close and the leaves will soon begin changing colour here in France... The weather is still beautiful... cool, fresh sunlit mornings and warm afternoons...
This is the ideal time to visit the Loire and the Nivernais where the colours are simply outstanding in the autumn.

We are offering discounts of 20% for all September and October cruises with our Nicols fleet, which has a range of modern style cruisers to suit from 2-12...

If you fancy a more traditional boat, why not hire a Euro Classic? These authentic steel barges are based at Vermenton and St Florentin enabling our guests to explore the beautiful river Yonne, Nivernais and Burgundy canals....

Another season of cruising!

Well, I'm ashamed to see that the last time I posted a blog here was in December! That's not to say that I have nothing to share with you, quite the contrary! Just so much work that time has really been tight this year.

Why do people book with Hotels afloat?

We have had some excellent, spontaneous feedback recently from clients booking with us.

Mark Williams is singing our praises :
It is comforting to know that we have booked through an organisation that is "on the ball"
your service, attention and being there outside of normal hours got you the business.
That's a feather in your cap !

He's booked the 1504 for 2012!
Have a look here to see this great boat....


This month we are extending our office hours until midnight, and some clients have managed to catch me in the office even later than that...
You can skype me on hotelsafloat
or call on France +33 380 39 29 38.

With the best of the early booking discounts due to expire on the 30th, it really does make sense to book your cruise before then.
