THE PHÉNICIEN

Serene, light and spacious, the Phénicien hosts our Provence river and canal cruises between Avignon and Aigues Mortes.

Overview

Air-conditioned throughout, the Phénicien accommodates a maximum of 16 participants. A crew of 6 ensures that passengers benefit from the very best service.

The Phénicien's upper deck boasts a teak sun-deck furnished with leather benches and director chairs - the perfect spot to sip a drink or two and watch the Provençal countryside unfold! There is also an expansive open-plan lounge, dining area and bar, all lined with panoramic windows and decorated in charming Provençal style.

The Phénicien is renowned across the Rhône for its superior cuisine: Thierry, the Phénicien's French chef, is an expert in the culinary traditions of Provence with, as he puts it, "my own personal twist". Thierry devises all the menus himself from fresh, local ingredients, and guests are invited to watch - and take home any tips! - as he prepares the evening meal on board.

The quality of the Phénicien's wines matches the quality of the cuisine: we will taste more than 20 whites, reds and rosés, each specially selected from the finest vineyards in the Rhône Valley, Provence and Languedoc. Wine is included with all dinners.

Cabins

The Phénicien's 8 passenger cabins (with either a double bed or two single beds) are housed on the lower deck. All cabins are fitted to the same high standard, with a porthole window and en suite facilities including air conditioning.
