The
Savoir Faire was built in 1932 and brought to Holland in 1979, where
she was converted
into the elegant three-decked hotel barge that she is today. Carrying
just 12 passengers and built on the largest hull that can cruise the
waterways, the former "Etoile de Champagne" was substantially
refurbished the beginning of the 2005 season. For the 2006 season, her
name changes to "Savoir Faire," continuing to maintain the
very high standard of excellence in cuisine, accommodations and service
that it became known for during the 2005 and previous seasons.
The 12-passenger Savoir Faire was built in 1932 as a Belgian transport barge. Converted into a hotel barge in 1979 she was substantially refurbished for the beginning of the 2005 season. Her six staterooms offer luxurious accommodation for 12 passengers who are attentively catered for by 6 English-speaking crew.
The salon, dining area, and bar are finished in mahogany, teak and brass, decorated with antiques and paintings. Two spacious decks offer magnificent views of the countryside.
