 Amaryllis |
With an uncompromising attention to detail and an interior decorated by some of the most respected names in France and Italy, Amaryllis is
one of the most luxurious vessels cruising the waterways of France. Built in 1962, she was converted into the upscale hotel barge in
2001 and welcomed her first passengers in 2002.
As Amaryllis cruises along some of the most picturesque waterways found in the world, you'll enjoy lounging in her spacious salon or relaxing
in her heated sundeck swimming pool. Large, panoramic windows ensure that you won't miss any of the passing scenery. Her traditionally
decorated interior is warm and inviting featuring contemporary and antique European furnishings.
The spacious comfort found aboard Amaryllis is complemented by her attentive staff ready to ensure that your barge holiday is unforgettable.
The cuisine is second-to-none and made from the freshest local ingredients.
