French Waterways

ABOUT

French Waterways is the premier independent specialist and booking authority dedicated entirely to inland cruise tourism in France. Operating as an impartial aggregate partner for travel advisors since 2003, the company provides seamless access to the country's finest canal and river networks. Backed by decades of first-hand nautical experience, they eliminate the logistical friction of vetting local suppliers by curating an extensively inspected, high-quality portfolio of vessels.

Because they do not manage a single fleet, advisors receive unbiased, expert guidance tailored precisely to their clients’ unique travel styles. Their comprehensive B2B offerings cover every tier of the market, including ultra-luxury crewed hotel barges featuring gourmet dining, premium river cruise ships, and accessible, license-free self-drive bareboat rentals for independent families.

Partnering with French Waterways grants you dedicated destination expertise, comprehensive regional resource guides, and competitive commission structures. Let them handle the operational groundwork so you can confidently deliver high-margin, unforgettable slow-travel experiences through the heart of France.
