Barge Cruising the Canal du Midi By World Journeys
Luxury barge cruise
Cruise the Canal du Midi aboard the elegant Anjodi. Built three centuries ago, the Canal du Midi skirts the sun-kissed shores of the Mediterranean before turning inland. It connects ancient villages, Roman fortifications and some of the most famous vineyards. This is the perfect place for cycling or walking along scenic tow paths, or simply watching the scenery pass by as you relax on deck with a cool drink. In the distance you can see the Pyrenees, whereas closer to hand are the vineyards that stretch for miles around.
**Highlights include:** Private wine tasting at the beautiful Chateau Pech-Celeyran, cruise through the world’s oldest canal tunnel at Malpas, see the spectacular hilltop village of Minerve, view the Pyrenees mountains across the vineyards, discover Cathar history, and tour Carcassonne – the most complete medieval fortified city in existence.
**Your luxury European Waterways barge:** The pretty 8 passenger vessel Anjodi has been cruising the Canal du Midi for more than 25 years. Anjodi has never been more popular since Rick Stein brought her to the attention of the world in his very successful TV series ‘French Odyssey’. She has been completely refurbished in the tasteful tradition of African hardwoods, hand-crafted panelling and shining brass, creating a comfortable and charming ambience.
The well planned accommodation offers a choice of four air-conditioned staterooms all with full en suite facilities and a choice of twin or double bed configuration. The saloon and dining room feature comfortable sofas, books and music, and an always open inclusive bar. The sun deck is spacious and has a heated sunken spa pool, a perfect place to watch the sun set after dinner during the warm Mediterranean evenings.
Book an individual stateroom, or gather a group of friends or family and charter the whole barge!
