The Amaryllis

The Amaryllis is the most luxurious barge whose interior displays an uncompromising attention to detail.  

Each state room has been meticulously decorated in a traditional style with a mixture of contemporary and antique Louis XVI and XV furniture, complimented by occasional tables from Li Puma of Florence. The specially designed window casings incorporate huge windows that panoramically frame the passing countryside.

On the top deck guests can relax on sun loungers or luxuriate in the heated swimming pool.

Amaryllis cruises some of the most picturesque waterways in France, including the River Saône and the River Rhône and the Canal du Centre.  

Throughout the Burgundy region excursions are arranged to visit ancient châteaux and sample many of the famous wines of the region: Beaune, Dijon, St Jean de Losne, Chalon-sur-Saône and Dole are just some of the towns and villages visited.

History

The Amaryllis (pronounced in French to rhyme with Fleur de Lys), is the sister ship to the Fleur de Lys. Designed in conjunction with La Fluviale, a prominent boat company in St. Jean de Losne, she has been decorated by some of the most respected names in France and Italy.

Amaryllis is a 40 meter Dutch hull, vintage 1962, converted into the most upscale hotel barge throughout 2001 and welcomed her first passengers in Spring 2002.
