Welcome to Barging in Europe

Hidden Trails offers you the unique opportunity to explore the treasures
of the countryside in ultimate comfort aboard a fully-crewed luxury hotel barge cruising the canals and rivers of France, Italy, Scotland, Ireland and England.
Imagine the sense of relaxation and enjoyment as your luxury floating hotel carries you from one peaceful mooring to the next, with more than enough opportunity to explore little villages, shops, the delightful countryside and much, much more, without the need to pack and unpack every day.
As your floating hotel moves sedately along the canal just step ashore at a lock and stroll or cycle along the tow-path, with the reassuring knowledge that your hotel barge is waiting for you at the next lock, as it descends the level of the canal.
