AnjodiView Deck Plan

The 8-passenger Anjodi, a luxury barge of classic Dutch design, specifically rebuilt to navigate the 300 year old Canal du Midi. She has been completely re-furbished in the tasteful tradition of African hardwoods, hand-crafted paneling and shining brass, creating a comfortable and charming ambience. The well planned accommodation offers a choice of four air-conditioned twin/double staterooms with full en-suite facitlities. The sun deck is spacious and has a heated sunken Jacuzzi. All our barges have a library, games and CD/stereo and, of course, an open bar stocked with a wide range of spirits and soft drinks. Anjodi's highly professional crew of four is comprised of Master Chef, Tour guide and Stewardess, led by a knowledgeable and experienced Captain. Our predominantly British crews take their roles very seriously, keeping in the background, but always finding time to share with you some aspect of local knowledge. Incidentally, the Canal du Midi has been listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Technical Data: Length: 100 Feet - 8 Passengers - 4 Crew - 4 Twin/Double Staterooms - Air-Conditioned - Centrally Heated - Spa Pool - 8 Touring Bikes - Air-Conditioned Minibus

Amenities
All-inclusive open bar, free wines, gourmet cuisine, entry fees to excursions. You may choose to relax on deck or in the saloon with a book, listening to your favorite music as your floating hotel winds serenely along the tree-lined canal. Your cruise includes Daily Excursions… they are designed for you to experience the richest treasures in each area. You can explore quaint, medieval villages, story-book towns of half-timbered buildings, magnificent chateaux and castles. Visit museums and abbeys, Bronze Age and troglodyte dwellings, partake wine tastings in privately-owned vineyards and shop in colorful open-air markets. Your daily excursions are either a brief walk away from the hotel barge or, if further, the ever-present air-conditioned minibus. There is also ample time to stroll along the two-paths, assist a lock-keeper, or wander into small canal side villages and meet the locals.

Dining
The classic traditions of French and International Cuisine - an unforgettable highlight of your cruise. Before you awaken each morning, a crew member has already been ashore to collect crisp breads, buttery croissants and a variety of fresh pastries. Together with the aroma of coffee, the day has just begun. Lunch, often enjoyed on the sun-deck, will be a colorful arrangement of salads, pâtés, savory quiches and a selection of cheeses. Accompanied by an excellent choice from the hotel barge wine cellar. Your chef supplements the vessel’s larder with fresh produce bought from lock-keepers’ gardens or local markets and creates mouthwatering regional and national dishes which are only challenged in flavor by the delicious range of regional wines we serve you aboard. Dinner is the culinary highlight of each day. Served by candlelight, each course is a delicious creation, subtly complemented with fine wines and still and sparkling water. Requests for vegetarian and special diets may be made at the time of reservaion.
