Explore Burgundy in Unmatched Luxury
This summer, the scenic waterways of Burgundy will welcome a new luxurious travel experience with Belmond's exquisite riverboat, Marguerite. This 128-foot vessel presents an ideal setting for travelers seeking a unique getaway, combining the beauty of nature with high-end amenities.
A Bold Transformation: The Marguerite
Once the Amaryllis, this historic barge has undergone a stunning makeover to immerse guests in the essence of French culture. Inspired by the delicate daisy—which is reflected in the boat’s name—the interior features gentle yellow hues and elegant floral motifs designed by artisans from across France. The clever use of stained glass and handcrafted furnishings not only provides a sense of warmth and elegance but also a connection to the region’s storied heritage.
Experience Opulence on Board
Marguerite boasts four cabins, each furnished with king or twin beds en suite, accommodating up to eight guests in comfort and style. The salon provides a spacious gathering area, while outdoor elements like the plunge pool and alfresco dining area allow travelers to soak in the scenic beauty of Burgundy’s lush landscapes.
Gastronomic Delights Await
Dining aboard Marguerite elevates the journey further, with menus crafted by renowned Michelin three-star chef Dominique Crenn. Guests can look forward to a gourmet experience, featuring locally sourced ingredients and a celebration of French culinary traditions. This summer, guests will savor warm pastries, delectable regional dishes, and wine samplings that highlight Burgundy’s prestigious vineyards.
Curated Experiences: From Mustard to Majestic Castles
Belmond’s Marguerite isn’t just about the boat; it’s about the journey itself. New itineraries include a mustard-making masterclass in Dijon, exquisite luncheons at a 12th-century château, and leisurely bike tours along the famed Route des Grands Crus. Guests can work with the Belmond team to curate an exclusive itinerary that matches their interests, ensuring that each experience is uniquely theirs.
A Taste of the Luxurious Lifestyle
The approach taken by Belmond in redefining leisurely travel sets it apart from other hospitality brands. Rather than massive cruise ships, Belmond's canal boats offer a distinctly intimate experience. With a near one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, you can expect personalized service that mirrors the luxuries found in five-star hotels. Marguerite joins a prestigious fleet of small, unique vessels that redefine luxury cruising.
What Guests Can Expect for Pricing
For those eager to experience Marguerite, pricing starts from €85,100, approximately $98,200 per week. Given the immersive experiences, exquisite service, and unparalleled comfort, this journey ensures memories that will last a lifetime. Reservations can be made on the Belmond website, where potential guests can also explore more about their customizable voyage options.
As summer approaches, discover the unique beauty of Burgundy aboard Marguerite for an experience like no other. Engage with tailored journeys that celebrate gourmet cuisine, regional history, and breathtaking landscapes—truly the art of leisurely travel.
