Cruise into green
 

European Boating holidays offer a unique and stylish way to discover Europe and explore many of its nature reserves, towns, and attractions and all with a clear eco-conscience.

 

Encompassing both its brands, Locaboat and Cardinal, European Boating Holidays are cruising ahead with their green credentials.

 

Cast off on a Locaboat Holiday and you will find yourself exploring some of the most scenic and culturally interesting waterways in Europe, whilst enjoying the comfort and romanticism of a traditionally-styled Penichette. Penichette boats are a registered design involving a special hull that minimises the amount of wash, helping to preserve river banks and reduce disturbance to wildlife. The boats are partially solar-powered, and the majority of the fleet feature waste water holding tanks in order to avoid release of unclean water back into canals.

 

For something a little more luxurious you can up the ante with a Cardinal Boating Holidays break, where you will enjoy ultra-modern luxury five-star Europa cruisers.  They are spacious and gorgeous with high spec interiors so you will have everything you need on board. The boats have state-of-the-art environmentally friendly designs and are powered by bio-diesel engines. Not only do these ensure minimal harmful emissions, but are extremely quiet so that you can enjoy a peaceful break, and avoid disturbing local wildlife and residents.
