Wimco Villas Offers Barge Cruise Discount

Published on: May 8, 2009

European-bound travelers this season can benefit from a Wimco Villas special that offers its clients a 25 percent discount on a two- to six-day barge cruise that originates in Flanders in the heart of Europe. The Golden Odyssey of Luxembourg, a private charter, accommodates up to eight in four cabins, each with private bath. Included in the rate (exclusively available through Wimco Villas) are chauffeur-driven transfers from airport or hotel, all meals including with wine and beer at lunch and dinner, excursion picnics, and entrance fees to pre-arranged excursions. The classic barge that dates to 1926 has been completely refurbished to be the luxury yacht it is today.

“We envision families and small groups of friends enjoying a Golden Odyssey private charter cruise as part of a European vacation,” said Stiles Bennet, Wimco Villas’ vice president of marketing and sales. “Fly in to Brussels, spend a relaxing few days barging through historic Flanders, take a train to the South of France for a week in a private villa, and then fly home from Nice or Cannes.” He notes that air fares booked between now and the end of May are expected to offer what he calls “exceptional value. In this challenging economy, villa vacations offer space, privacy and, most importantly, value for those who want to take a quality vacation, but pay less.” For more information, visit www.wimco.com.
