Embark on a sparkling cruise!
Sailing in the heart of an ocean of vines, letting yourself be rocked by the lapping of the water and taking the time to live at the rhythm of nature, that’s what awaits you if you embark on a cruise on the Marne!
A boat trip, a unique way to visit
Come aboard the Bateau Champagne Vallée for an exceptional cruise in Champagne! In this boat built in 1992, charming with its paddle wheel, you will have a front row seat from the panoramic room.
Located in Cumières, 10 minutes from Epernay, the pier is perfectly integrated into the vineyard where the Marne River winds, in the heart of the Champagne hillsides listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A unique and unusual way to discover the Champagne landscapes, the navigation on the river, or the local fauna and flora.
Several formulas are available upon reservation: commented cruise, lunch or dinner cruise. The boat can accommodate 140 people for a cruise and 80 for catering. The perfect option to celebrate a special occasion, a romantic anniversary or a family party!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION :
Le Bateau Champagne Vallée est contraint pour des raisons de mise aux normes réglementaires, de suspendre tous les départs pour les mois de juillet et août. Le bistro à quai sera ouvert tout l’été et vous donne rendez-vous pour des croisières début septembre !
