Least Expensive Barge Vacation

Odysseys Unlimited offers a Burgundy barge vacation for a little less than $12,000/pc. It includes air fare from major American cities, 10 nights accommodations with 6 nights on the MS Jeanine, local excursions, and drinks on-board. (International business-class air is available for about $7,000/pc).

The 115-ft by 16.5-ft MS Jeanine holds 22 guests (see Barge 2 Page) through the canals the barge is not much larger that those that hold about a third of the guests (per earlier posts).  Six townie-type bicycles are available. 

The guests are not going to spend any extra time in the very small 97-sf cabins.  Only storage is in the 15-1/2-inch high space under the bed. All meals are provided on-board. The barge may be a bit claustrophobic.

Extra days are spent in Lyon and Paris.  

Vacations by Rail uses the MS Ramond for $6,200/pc plus air-fare.  Total cost would be around $10,000/pc  Taking reservations now for 2021.  Requires $1000/pc non-refundable downpayment
