YouTube Video Description↓

Join Peter Knego for his latest QuirkyCruise.com adventure, a six night journey along a forty mile stretch of France's historic and scenic Canal du Midi, a 17th Century engineering marvel. It all takes place on board European Waterways MV ATHOS, a ten passenger hotel barge that was built in 1964 as a cargo barge and converted for passenger cruising in 1982. The ATHOS is part of a large fleet of deluxe barges operated by European Waterways, a company that specializes in small ship travel within Europe. With a five member crew, including a top notch chef, the all inclusive trip includes shore excursions via mini-van to spectacular sites like the Medieval fortress of Carcassone, the mountain village of Minerve, local wineries and much more. The canal, itself, provides a stunning backdrop for scenic cruising, gourmet meals and even a dip in the Jacuzzi. For more adventures on small ships, please check out our Quirky Cruise channel.
