It features boutique vessels and luxury hotel barges – working in partnership with small cruise companies Silversea and European Waterways.
Each itinerary also includes a two-night stay at one of Kirker’s hotels in the region.
Departing until October, guests can choose from tailor-made itineraries in France, Italy and the UK that include:
Luxury barge hotel holidays
In partnership with European Waterways, Kirker presents a selection of new eight-night holidays that combine six nights on the water with flights, transfers and two nights in an hotel (or longer, if preferred).
France
Paris & Northern Burgundy – cruise the Nivernais Canal between mediaeval Auxerre and the pretty village of Chevroches on board L’Art de Vivre, a converted former First World War supply vessel. As well as six nights’ full board on the barge, during which excursions include a visit to a cellar in Chablis for a tasting of the Petit Chablis and Chablis white wines, two nights at the four-star deluxe Hotel Westminster in Paris. The price for this eight-night holiday is from £4,398 pp (two sharing).
Italy

Sail to the smaller islands of the Venice lagoon and the Roman city of Chiogga, pass through the delta of the River Po (home to flamingos and wild birds), cruise the Canal Bianco, and visit the Etruscan town of Adria, Renaissance Ferrara and local vineyards. This holiday also includes two nights at the four-star superior Liassidi Palace in Venice with guaranteed entrance tickets to the Doge’s Palace, Accademia or Guggenheim, and Kirker’s Guide Notes to restaurants and sightseeing. The price of this eight-night holiday is from £3,199 pp (two sharing).
