 Meanderer |
The Meanderer was built in 1948 as a Belgian "Spitz" commercial barge. She was converted to a luxury hotel barge in 1992 and has enjoyed continual
upgrades since that time to provide a luxurious barging experience.
With three cabins each measuring in excess of 125 square feet, large lounge and dining areas, a spacious teak covered sundeck and an outdoor
hot tub, she is the perfect vessel for exploring the Upper Loire in style.
New owners George and Susan Kovalick have spent their entire professional lives in the service, lodging, and hospitality industries and are well versed in
providing guests with an unforgettable holiday experience. You'll also appreciate their culinary expertise, knowledge of the region, and love for the arts
that translate into fantastic service.
