Formally a freighter, nowadays a sailing hotel vessel.
Originally, the Feniks was built in 1928 as a freight barge for the Dutch, Belgium and French inland waters. It is a strong vessel with many years of service and is known because of her beautiful form and speed.
In 1992, the Feniks was converted into a hotel passenger ship and put in service for various sailing holidays. Since then, she has undergone several refits to keep the ship up-to-date with all modern facilities.
"From architect to captain, from consultant to sailor and cook, your hosts Ivo and Marius welcome you aboard. We work with more enthusiastic people. There is Rick, our permanent chief cook, and Sven, our tireless sailor. We also work in the course of the season with people who are chosen carefully according to their professional qualities."

This tour starts in thriving Paris to the Loire river valley in central France.
It offers a combination of history, culture, nature, agreeable rides in a varied countryside, with now and then some extra physical exercise. The Loire river is hardly navigable, so in the past centuries canals were dug parallel to some of the rivers to connect natural waterways. It's a stunning experience to be on board while the ship is using the famous pont-canal (acqueduct) while leaving Briare.
Apart from being a historically very interesting part of France, this tour leads you along famous wine villages like Pouilly (of the Pouilly Fumé) and Sancerre. It's certainly worth visiting several wine houses and taste the differences between the worlds best white wines!
