Belmond Pivoine barge

Belmond Pivoine was launched in 2017. Her cruise itineraries follow France's rivers and canals throughout the Champagne wine region. The 6-night itinerary features unique "food and wine"-themed events. Cruising with Belmond in France offers a stylish travel experience—an escape from everyday life and an opportunity to savor the moment while sailing through the French countryside.

Pivoine cruises along the Canal Lateral de la Marne and the River Marne between Meaux and Chalons-en-Champagne. The itinerary passes numerous picturesque villages and vineyards. Highlights include visits to historic Reims and the renowned Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte.

Belmond Pivoine (Peony) is inspired by biophilia—a design approach that brings the natural world into interior spaces. The ship features an open deck designed to evoke the feeling of a secret floating garden, complete with a swimming pool surrounded by potted plants and handcrafted furniture. Accommodating just 8 passengers in 4 cabins, the vessel offers an intimate experience with highly personalized service.
