Inspired Cruising

Many travelers say that their choices of vacation destinations were inspired by popular movies and TV series. “A number of our luxury hotel barge cruises include excursions to the real-life settings of beloved movies and TV series. Other locations such as Paris are close enough to our routes that guests can incorporate them into their vacation plans before or after their cruises,” noted Derek Banks, Managing Director of European Waterways. “It’s always exciting to walk in the footsteps of your favorite characters by visiting the real-life settings of their movies,” said Banks.
