Overview
The Savoir Faire is an elegant 12 passenger barge with a
very interesting historic past. Having been built in
1932, she was originally used as a transport barge in
the Belgian estuaries and later during World War II, her
bow was replaced with a landing bow so she could sail up
on the beaches.
In 1979, the barge was brought to
Holland where she underwent a total metamorphosis and
was converted into an elegant three-decked hotel barge
called Etoile de Champagne. Through the years, she has
received accolades from all those fortunate to have
sailed aboard her. With new owners Chris and Fran
Bennett and a new name since 2004, the Savoir Faire
continues to pride itself in customizing your cruise
week to meet your desires.
The vessel has been
redecorated to show off the gorgeous salon with its
large panoramic windows and comfortable furniture. The
cabins were modernized and updated into spacious suites.
You'll also enjoy upscale dining in the beautiful dining
room featuring mahogany paneling, Wedgwood china and
Christofle silverware.
