In the daytime by bike, in the evening on the boat
Holidays along rivers, canals and coastal routes, with cycling by day and overnight stays in a floating hotel that follows cyclists stage by stage. The cabin will be yours for the whole week, and breakfasts and dinners are served on board, where you’ll be welcomed by the captain and crew. You can also enjoy leisure time on the boat in the salon or on the sun deck, and if one day you don’t feel like cycling, you can relax on the boat all day!
Once upon a time in the Netherlands...
“Bike and barge” holidays are a Dutch invention that soon proliferated on many of Europe’s rivers, canals and bike paths. Other bike and boat routes can now be enjoyed in Belgium, France, Austria, Germany and Italy. Traditionally, these trips have been run on rivers and canals, but they are now also a popular way to travel in coastal areas, such as on the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, no longer aboard river barges, but on yachts or motorsailers.
Italy (1 tour)
Our original itinerary among the lakes of Mantua and along the canals parallel to the Po River, to the Venetian Lagoon. Our boats offer privileged access to the Po Delta Park, to small, unspoiled rural towns of the Po Valley, and to art cities such as Venice, Mantua, and Ferrara. The food on board features local traditional dishes, both simple and refined, so good that they alone are worth the trip! Learn more about bike and barge tours in Italy.
France (2 tours)
An ever more bicycle-friendly country with a long tradition of river navigation. In the south of France, we offer a tour in the footsteps of Van Gogh: pedal among the villages of Provence and through the wild natural beauty of the Camargue. If you’re fond of wine and good food, you cannot miss the canals of Burgundy or Champagne. Bike and barge tours also reach the canals of the Seine, all the way to the heart of Paris! Read more about bike and barge tours in France.
The Netherlands (9 tours)
So many possibilities for boating and cycling. If you dream of visiting the country’s most famous and historical cities, choose the Southern Tour: you’ll discover Amsterdam with its thousands of bicycle routes; Haarlem, the city of merchants; Rotterdam, a port city with colorful and modern architecture; and Delft and its ceramics. If you prefer unspoiled nature, the Northern Tour is for you: from Amsterdam to small seaside villages, past lakes and countryside dotted with traditional windmills, to the dunes of Texel Island.
And finally, the Tulip Tour is a must-see in the spring, when Holland is tinged with a thousand colors.

Vineyards and green landscapes line these rivers, and their banks are dotted with castles and abbeys that invite a visit. Wineries and wine tastings will also offer temptations along your rides!
Croatia and Greece (10 tours)
Countless islands in crystal clear waters, reefs, beaches and small bays. From island to island by boat and then by bike on scenic roads overlooking the sea. Overnight stays aboard comfortable motorsailers with an outdoor deck where you can relax and admire the sunset or dive into the water for a swim.

Ave Maria is a comfortable river cruise ship made in Italy, built with innovative solutions and where materials were chosen with aesthetics and comfort in mind. It is also a small barge capable of passing under low bridges and sailing on shallow water, typical of Italian waterways. The barge was custom-built using the salvaged hull of a Po River dredge.
All in strict compliance with new and stricter safety and eco-friendly standards.
Ave Maria is an “environmentally sustainable” boat due to energy conservation on
board, purification of dark water, and navigation that does not damage the shores. View more details
