Flower villages - that's what Michel promised us when he picked us up from the airport in Nantes for our houseboat tour on the Mayenne. And he was right! We encountered flowers not only in the villages and towns along the river, and not only in gardens. Almost every lock we passed was nicely decorated with flowers.
On the way with the houseboat on the Mayenne in the Pays de la Loire in western France, we discover a region and a river that could hardly be more relaxing. From Château-Gontier we drive to Laval and back in three days and experience a journey past châteaus and small villages.
Aboard the MS Juno on a Göta Canal cruise. The canal connects Gothenburg with Stockholm. We were traveling across Sweden on the oldest registered passenger ship in the world. An experience that is second to none.
(Commercial) Like Crocket and Tubbs from Miami Vice, we dash through the waters around Miami in the Zodiac. Kimberley Falconer, the owner of Ocean Force Adventures, invited us on a tour of the waters of Miami. She wants to show us the Miami sights from the water.
Experience an Egypt Nile Cruise 2022 with Baden. Hardly any other type of travel is more relaxing than a trip on a river. The sights that await passengers along the Nile are impressive. The Egyptians created these thousands of years ago on the edge of the desert.
Vienna - Bratislava in 75 minutes. And that without traffic jams, without hectic rush and with great views of nature and the Danube. Perfect for an afternoon outing. This is possible with the Twin City Liner, which departs from the Schwedenkai in Vienna and goes to Bratislava.
We spent three days as beginners with the houseboat on the Mayenne. The Mayenne is a river in the Pays de la Loire not far from the border with Normandy and Brittany and flows into the Loire at Angers. It is one of the rivers in France that beginners can navigate without a boat license. What should you know beforehand?
