The
12-passenger Savoir Faire was built in 1932 as a Belgian
transport barge. She was converted into a hotel barge
in 1979 and was substantially refurbished for the beginning
of the 2005 season. The air conditioned interior is
unique with five separate areas for passenger enjoyment,
whether for a personal retreat, a gathering at the
on board piano or all passengers together enjoying
each others company. The saloon, dining area, and bar
are finished in mahogany, teak and brass and decorated
with antiques and paintings collected over the years.
Two spacious sun decks offer magnificent views of the
countryside and bikes are provided for those who wish
to explore further.
Savoir Faire features six staterooms all of which
are air conditioned and have en-suite facilities. Each
can be configured with two twin beds or with one queen
bed. All cabins offer good lighting, a large number
of electrical outlets, and include 220v European standard
and 110v U.S. standard power outlets. Internet access
is also available.
You will be attentively catered for by six English-speaking
crew including the captain, deck hand, master chef,
tour guide and two housekeepers.
Below you can find some of the highlights of the cruises
we are currently offering on Savoir Faire, along with
some examples of the cuisine and fine wines the master
chef will present you with on board.
