Cruising the European
inland waterways

Webinar recording

A boat sails on a river with windmills, houses, trees, and a sunny sky with birds and clouds in the background.

Imagine navigating through the Champagne region of France, the Ardennes in Belgium, or the Friesian lakes in the Netherlands. Or cruising right through the centre of historic cities like Ghent, Leiden, and Cologne. With nearly 30,000 km of rivers and canals to explore, Europe’s inland waterways promise both adventure and tranquillity.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor seeking a more tranquil sailing experience, looking for a shortcut to or from the Mediterranean or Baltic (including a “mast up” route), or considering an extended inland adventure, Europe’s waterways offer an entirely different boating experience.

Cruising Europe’s inland waterways can seem daunting, with so much to consider.  To help make your dreams a reality, we’ve teamed up with the guys in the Cruising Association’s European Inland Waterways section. With decades of first hand experience, they’re perfectly placed to guide you through everything you need to know.
