On the Canal de la Marne au Rhin, embark for an authentic and traditional cruise in the heart of Alsace and Moselle. You will discover a colorful heritage and monuments that reflect their history through exciting visits. The Hop Trail, the Haut Barr and Lutzelbourg castle or the Chagall trail. Let yourself be surprised by the richness of this enchanting cruise.

Appreciated by river tourism, this part of the canal, also called the "green way", crosses the plain of Alsace and the Vosges. It connects Strasbourg and Saverne, the gateway to Alsace at the foot of the Vosges. It continues its route through a wooded massif as far as Lutzelbourg in Moselle. Its spectacular design, with its numerous engineering structures, borrows the inclined plane of Arzviller - a unique construction in Europe.

On board an intimate barge with only 22 passengers you will enjoy a high level of comfort with an all-inclusive package on board. Our chef will be pleased to prepare local dishes for you, accompanied by a selection of Alsatian wines. At the lounge bar, relax while admiring the scenery behind the bay windows.

Saverne and Haut-Barr Castle


Nestled at the foot of the Vosges Mountains, Saverne is one of the gateways to Alsace. Its rich heritage reflects the region's eventful history and its strong attachment to local traditions.

Overlooking the valley, Haut-Barr Castle offers exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. Nicknamed the "Eye of Alsace," this iconic site is one of the highlights of the cruise.


The Arzviller Boat Lift and Lutzelbourg


A remarkable feat of engineering, the Arzviller Boat Lift is a unique structure in Europe. Replacing a series of locks, it enables boats to overcome a significant change in elevation within a preserved natural setting.

Nearby, the village of Lutzelbourg reveals all the charm of the Moselle region. Surrounded by forests and dominated by the remains of its medieval castle, it offers a peaceful stop in the heart of unspoilt nature.
