Amenities On Board

The large and light dining room is on the upper deck with 12 large windows (6 on either side) and a screen-door which can be opened onto the rear sundeck with covered dining area and a 4/5 person heated spa-pool (hot-tub).
Leading from the dining room towards the front of the barge is the spacious saloon; Here you will find plenty of comfortable seating available and a well-stocked bar. The wheelhouse forms the front part of the saloon, and is a wonderful and unique location to relax and watch the Captain navigate the barge along the stunning Caledonian Canal.
The large roof-top sundeck, with sun canopy and loungers, is the ideal place to admire the dramatic backdrop as you cruise on deep-water lochs such as Loch Oich and past historic landmarks along the way.
