Our EAU CLAIRE boats are specifically designed with family cruising in mind. The boats are easy to move around in and offer a number of safety features. The wide side decks are protected by guard-rails and the sundecks are extensive and safe. The steering position is ideally situated at the front of the boat allowing for constant surveillance of children. In addition, life jackets (children sizes) are available on request at reception. We recommend that children wear their life jackets when not inside the boats.

Certainly you can! Exploring a region in your boat means setting off on your boating holiday and having complete freedom to call a halt at any time. In addition to the numerous harbours with amenities that are dotted along the waterways, you can moor your boat virtually anywhere – except where there are "No Mooring" signs, or if you are on a bend or in a narrow passage, under a bridge, in a lock or near a stretch of reeds. But you are perfectly at liberty to tarry where you will in the very midst of nature, using the two mooring poles and mallet with which your boat is equipped.

The beauty of a cruising holiday is that you set your own pace, bearing in mind that it is important to return your boat on time. If you have opted for «The Moselle Loop» plan on 30 hours of navigation, on average navigating 4 to 5 hours per day. Relax and enjoy the slow pace keeping in mind that the maximum speed at which navigation is permitted is between 6 and 8 km/hr. Slow cruising also ensures minimal impact on the environment and avoids damage to the banks, flora and fauna.

No, not at all, they are all part of the fun and give everyone a chance to get involved. Once you’ve been through the first one you’ll see just how easy it is. Is doesn’t cost anything to go through a lock either - its free. Most of the locks in the Alsace-Lorraine area are automatic and there is a lock-keeper who will be happy to help you if you need it.

There are numerous lakes, rivers and canals where swimming is permitted in the Alsace-Lorraine region. So don’t forget your swimwear!

Usually our cruises are for one week. This will give you time enough to complete the Moselle Loop or to experience the beautiful lakes and ponds of this region, the boat lift at Arzwiller which replaces 17 locks, pretty medieval villages and truly splendid scenery - unique in Europe and Saverne.
For your first cruise or if you don’t have much time, for a weekend in low or high season, you could experience the Arzwiller boat lift, a giant escalator for boats which is a unique engineering masterpiece. From this vantage point you can enjoy the natural beauty of the valleys below.
Should you decide on a mini-week you could visit Saverne with its ducal palace and the Alsatian plains. Or for 10 days include Strasbourg with its delightful mix of old and new, its magnificent cobbled streets and 19th century mansions.

Nothing can compare!!! This is your golden opportunity to experience the charming countryside with picturesque little villages to stop at and enjoy - your chance to experience a honeymoon voyage with Navig France !!!

All our boats are equipped with heating systems.

We supply a complete array of linen - sheets, pillows and blankets to suit the number of passengers on board. Our kitchen galleys are well equipped with everything necessary to prepare meals as if you were at home.

Dogs and other pets are welcome on board our boats, but it is important to also bring with you any items, such as a blanket or basket, that your pet will require for its comfort during the cruise. Please ensure that you keep a close eye on your dog especially when going through the locks. There will be a standard charge of €26 per pet, payable at the point of embarkation, irrespective of the duration of your cruise.

Nothing could be easier! Select a boat to suit your party size and budget, choose a cruising area, check the availability of the dates you’ve decided on by calling our sales team and reserve your boat!
