Holiday ideas
European Cities
What if your next city break… was by boat? No license needed—just the desire to discover cities from a new perspective. On board, there’s no stress, no schedule to follow: you move at your own pace, enjoying the scenery and stopovers as they come.
From our base in Bram, you can reach Toulouse via the Canal du Midi in just half a day of cruising. Once moored, landmarks like the Basilica of Saint-Sernin or the Capitole are just a short walk away. Further north, set off from Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune and follow the Saône River to Lyon: stroll along the riverbanks, enjoy a drink in the Old Town, then return to your boat for a peaceful night on board.
And it’s not just in France. Take Venice, for example, you can arrive by boat, moor near St. Mark’s Square, and experience *la dolce vita* with your feet practically in the water. In Amsterdam too, everything feels different when you’re navigating through the heart of the canals.
With Riverly, big cities become intimate stopovers, accessible without a car, free from constraints, and always offering the freedom to pause whenever you feel like it.

For Beginners
To help you prepare for your cruise and feel confident that this is the perfect holiday for you, here are a few common questions, answered to ease any concerns. First of all, no prior experience? No problem. Our boats require no licence, are easy to handle, and allow for smooth, gentle manoeuvring. If your top holiday priority is relaxation, rest assured: you won’t be standing at the helm all day. Every boat model is designed with comfort, practicality, and full onboard equipment to make your life easier.
When it comes to piloting, it’s truly a breeze, leaving you plenty of time to unwind and enjoy. And what about safety? Everything on board is under control: handrails along wide walkways, spacious and stable decks, and even life jackets provided. When it’s time for a stopover, simply lock your boat and head out to explore the area freely. Still have questions? Take advantage of the handover at your departure base: our team will guide you through the boat and give you a short introduction—just enough to put your mind at ease before you set off.
