Available: Families With Children Private Charter Only / Departure Date of your choice
If you are a family with children, we are able to create a bespoke itinerary and substitute a maximum of 4 excursions from our Classic Cruise Itinerary with your preferred family activities.
The following activities can usually be arranged on-board directly with the barge Captain and included in your itinerary without any extra charge (unless otherwise stated):
Aqua Park
Aquatic Centre in Sarrebourg with a play pool featuring a river with counter-current, a waterfall, 60m slide (6 years +) and a paddling pool with miniature toboggans for young children.

In the summer, the roof of the Aquatics centre is opened and access to the lawn is granted with a refreshment bar, restaurant, benches and volleyball court. Family changing rooms are provided, as well as individual lockers and hairdryers. Children should be supervised at all times.

28 lane bowling alley with bar and pool tables in the town of Dorlisheim, a 20 minute drive from Strasbourg. With a relaxed ambiance during the day, and party-like in the evenings, the bowling alley is suitable for all ages and features illuminated lanes, allowing for an interesting and memorable experience.
Chocolate Museum, Strasbourg
Alsace, a reputable gastronomic region, is more discreet when it comes to chocolate. Here, more than 21% of the food industry’s workforce is represented by chocolate makers and confectioners. Alsace, therefore, seems like the perfect place to have a museum dedicated to the stuff! A unique gourmet tour will take you from the origins of chocolate through to the way it is made today. Unravel the mysteries of cocoa and discover how to go from the bean to chocolate mouldings while you also learn how to taste the different chocolates. Suitable for all ages.

Musée Zoologique de Strasbourg
A natural history collection purchased from the Johann Hermann collection in 1802. When the University of Strasbourg was founded in 1872, the management and curation of the museum was entrusted to it. A new building was built between 1890 and 1893, and the collection has since continued to grow. The museum now displays more than 10,000 mammals, 18,000 birds and 1,000,000 insects, as well as many examples of invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Among those animals displayed, many have since become extinct. Suitable for all ages.
