1 – 7 JULY 2027
Burgundy in Bloom
Fine Food and Wine
CANAL CRUISE
Join us in July 2027 for an exclusive six-night barge cruise through the heart of Burgundy, one of France’s most celebrated wine regions. From the historic city of Dijon, we’ll follow tranquil waterways through rolling countryside, picturesque villages and renowned vineyards, taking in the changing scenery as we make our way towards Chalon-sur-Saône and the wine country beyond.
Along the way, our included excursions offer plenty of opportunities to discover the character and history of the region. Follow the famous Grands Crus Wine Route through some of Burgundy’s most prestigious vineyards, explore the historic town of Saint-Jean-de-Losne and enjoy a tasting of local specialities, and visit Chalon-sur-Saône, birthplace of photography pioneer Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. There’s also the chance to stretch your legs on a walk to the Cirque du Bout du Monde, where dramatic chalk cliffs and an impressive waterfall create a spectacular natural setting.
The journey continues through the vineyards around Santenay, where you’ll visit a historic château and hear about generations of Burgundian winemaking traditions before enjoying a tasting of the estate’s wines. Between excursions, there’s plenty of time to relax on board, enjoy the scenery, or walk and cycle alongside the waterways. With meals, drinks and excursions all included, this is a wonderfully relaxed way to experience the food, wine, history and landscapes of Burgundy, accompanied throughout by our Tour Manager Andy Webster.

“ We can’t speak highly enough of Harmony Voyages and the experience they gave us on board the Amadeus for the mini cruise from Amsterdam to Rotterdam...
We enjoyed 4 nights of wonderful customer service, superb entertainment and exceptional food & drink. We cannot wait to come on board again soon!”

“This was our first river cruise with Harmony Voyages. It certainly won’t be our last…
Everything was simply superb from the moment we embarked on the Amadeus Cara in Passau until we disembarked a week later in Budapest. The ship, the crew, the itinerary, the cabin, the food, drink, ambience and the fantastic music provided by Paul Carrack and Nina Zella were simply out of this world, and massively surpassed our expectations. We can’t wait for another cruise in 2023. Keep up the great work, and hope to see you again soon. “

We were looked after so we’ll both by Harmony and the crew of Amadeus Cara. This is the best European holiday I have ever had.“
