An excellent holiday and service overall, Emma's recommendations were perfect and she answered all of our questions promptly. We hope to return for another trip next year.

The cruise was so wonderful, got to see some places that have been on our “bucket list” for years! Emma was a dream to coordinate our trip, especially through the perils of COVID days. She set up Zoom meetings for us and communicated regularly over the plus two years it took to bring this experience to fruition. It was a once in a lifetime experience and the most beautiful, pristine scenery I‘ve ever seen in France. We would highly recommend using Hotels Afloat to anyone looking for a truly unique experience!
BLAIR ★★★★
The cruise was so wonderful, despite a few glitches! Don't think we'll ever do a self-drive again, as we're getting up there in years, but would definitely do another cruise if someone else was doing all the work! It was a once in a lifetime experience and the most beautiful, pristine scenery I've seen in France, so far!
