European Waterways is re-launching the hotel barge Rosa in southwest France. The vessel was part of the European Waterways fleet for a number of years, including when she starred with chef Rick Stein during the filming of the BBC TV series French Odyssey. The new route from Agen to Montauban on the Canal des Deux Mers in Gascony features the best that Gascony has to offer, including private wine, Armagnac and foie gras tastings, delightful French countryside, and fascinating excursions. After undergoing a complete refit to a high standard, Rosa will start cruising again in August, a perfect time to enjoy this picturesque region of France. Rates for a cruise aboard Rosa are from €2,550pp sharing a double cabin and €17,800 for an exclusive all-inclusive charter of the entire vessel for 8 passengers.
