The Amaryllis is a luxurious hotel barge, available for private charter through Abercrombie and Kent, that offers an intimate and refined way to explore the waterways of Burgundy, France. Accommodating just eight guests across four elegantly appointed cabins, the Amaryllis combines classic French décor with modern comforts, including en-suite marble bathrooms, individually controlled climate systems, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. Guests are welcomed into a stylish lounge and formal dining room, while the sun deck with loungers and a heated plunge pool provides a serene setting to relax as the barge glides along picturesque canals and rivers.
Beyond the vessel itself, the Amaryllis offers an immersive, all-inclusive travel experience. Expertly prepared gourmet meals are paired with fine local wines, while the attentive crew ensures seamless service throughout the journey. Onboard excursions and guided tours bring Burgundy’s historic villages, vineyards, and châteaux within easy reach, complemented by optional cycling or strolling along tow-paths.
