Offering private parties of four a week of pampered relaxation, the Alegria’s concept is that of refined discovery, personable service, and attention to detail.
Owner/Captain Olivier Baudry operated passenger barges on the River Seine in Paris, followed by 15 years in the travel industry in South Africa. These high-end experiences have informed his vision for the Algeria, a luxury barge where thoughtful details are everywhere, reflecting his interests in native artwork and stylish décor.
Typical of the care taken on the Alegria, even the most personalized of amenities await; guests arrive to find mini-fridges in their cabins already stocked with their favorite beverages. Active options abound on the Alegria, with ample time for bicycling and walking along the canal side towpath; additionally, there is a petite heated swimming pool on deck, accessible by private staircase from the generously-sized cabins and perfect for a refreshing mid-day plunge!
