ABOVE: Anjodi cruising. Inset below: On deck, and an Anjodi cabin. Go Barging announces a 6-week "Ultimate Journey" barge cruise from Avignon to AmsterdamItinerary features the luxury barge made famous by celebrity chef Rick Stein
Anjodi is the hotel barge that achieved "film star" status following her many appearances during the hugely popular BBC TV series Rick Stein's French Odyssey, when she carried celebrity chef Rick Stein and a full film crew on a 400-mile voyage of culinary discovery through South West France. This 6-week cruise takes in famous cities such as Lyon, Paris and Cologne, the local highlights and culture along famous rivers such as the Rhone, Seine and Rhine, and enchanting smaller waterways such as the Canal de Bourgogne. The cruise will be a mixture of days spent cruising, sight seeing and city stays whilst discovering the regional cuisine and wines of Provence, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace and the Moselle and Rhine valleys. The voyage also follows the advance of the American, British and allied forces liberating the French, Belgium and Dutch populations in World War II. It passes through regions held by the French resistance, areas liberated by Allied Forces and near towns like Arnhem fought over by the airborne forces in operation Market Garden. It is an incredible, unfolding journey for those interested in the historical importance of the period following the D-day landings of June 1944. About the barge:
As with all European Waterways cruises, delicious gourmet meals will be expertly prepared by the on board chef, complimented by excellent regional wines and an open bar. The majority of meals are taken aboard, but at least once a week passengers dine ashore. This _Trans Europe cruise is available at a price per person of US $25,000 based on a minimum of 6 passengers, or as a whole barge charter for US $185,000. Rates include all meals, wines, open bar, excursions, admittance fees and transfers.
