There are many ways to take to the water on the inland waterways; step aboard a large purpose-built vessel and cruise beside the vineyards and chateaux of Bordeaux, sail the Danube from Nuremberg to Budapest on a boutique ship, or enjoy the sheer luxury of a journey aboard a small Hotel Barge along the River Po to Lombardy from Venice, with an on-board chef and intimate shore trips thrown in.
