Hotel-Barge: Nymphea
The Nymphea is a classic Dutch design with shallow draft and is ideal for navigating the incredibly beautiful yet somewhat sandy reaches of the river Cher in the Loire Valley. Refitted throughout, her traditional ship’s interior features a warm classic décor of rich varnished hardwoods, stained glass and a welcoming country Inn atmosphere. Nymphea has three comfortable cabins providing twin beds and en-suite facilities. Her crew, consisting of Captain, Chef and Tour Guide, are most knowledgeable about the history in this beautiful area.

Cruising aboard the Nymphea was the best part of our three weeks in France! DP -Decatur, AL
Beautiful countryside, an attentive crew. Fresh food enhanced by a great chef. These ingreidents add up to a super super vacation experience. Larry & Linda Granat
Hi --- My wife and I have just returned from an idyllic week cruising the River Cher in the Loire valley with Leigh and Rebecca on the Nymphea. It was a gorgeous trip helped along by nearly perfect weather. This was our first return to France after just over 40 years, having spent a week in Paris shortly before our marriage in 1962. So what could be a more appropriate way to celebrate that anniversary than to be coddled aboard this lovely boat. Mr & Mrs Appleyard
