Schedules

Our cruises begin on Sunday afternoons, when guests assemble at the Hotel Mansart for the journey to the 'Luciole'. Each cruise ends the following Saturday morning, when our guests are escorted back to Paris. The planned arrival time at the Place Vendôme, where taxis are available for onward travel, is at 12.30 pm.

All-Inclusive Luciole Cruise Rate

Our weekly prices cover six nights accommodation, all meals and drinks served on board, and use of the barge's bus for local excursions under the direction of the Captain. Prices also include the cost of transfers between Paris and the barge at the beginning and end of each cruise.

Cruising as a Group Charter

Over the years, groups of friends and family parties have frequently chartered the 'Luciole' for their own exclusive use. Adaptability is the key to the success of these cruises and our flexible crew members are well accustomed to making these changes.

For children with family charter parties, alternative meal times and excursions can be arranged while for special interest groups individual cruise itineraries can be designed. Business gatherings can also be accommodated and our cruising timetable adjusted to suit a specialized schedule.
