Here at World of Cruising we think sports and river cruising are a perfect match.
The
8-passenger L’Art de Vivre, which cruises
Burgundy, comes equipped with a sun deck, a relaxing spa pool and newly
renovated cabins, all of which create a comfortable and soothing pre or post
tennis experience. The vessel’s itinerary features excursions
ranging from exploring the cathedrals of Auxerre to private wine tastings at
renowned cellars in the region. For the
ultimate in convenience, guests are picked up and dropped off at a designated
point in Paris and driven in air-conditioned comfort to the vessel. A number of cruise dates are available around
the dates of the French Open, May 25 – June 8.
With
weekly cruises on the Magna Carta departing from London on dates
that align with Wimbledon’s June 23 –
July 6 matches, this European Waterways vessel offers passengers the
opportunity to spend a week relaxing in luxury while traveling on the River
Thames. The Magna Carta offers multiple sightseeing excursions such as exploring
Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace and experiencing great walking and bicycling
opportunities along the Thames footpath, all of which will further enrich
anyone’s European travels.
The
Ryder Cup offers another opportunity for spectators to extend their trip by
embarking on a European Waterways cruise on the Scottish Highlander. An intimate 8-person hotel
barge, the Scottish Highlander offers a wide range of sightseeing
opportunities, including taking a tour of the Glen Ord whisky distillery; seeing
Eilean Donan and Urquhart castles; exploring Cawdor Castle and gardens, home of
Shakespeare’s Macbeth; as well as a chance to be the first to “finally” catch a
glimpse of elusive Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster!
