These itineraries are based on a certain geographical logic and they have been formed with years of experience behind them.

The itineraries have been designed so as to ensure maximum guest comfort and relaxation, whilst providing for plenty of interest at a variety of stops.

If this is the case, it maybe necessary to move to an alternative mooring.
