Flags on the Clair d'Etoile

12 cabins

Formerly the Zwaantje, the Clair d'Etoile, whose name means 'Starlight', is a homely passenger barge boasting a large lounge with panoramic windows (perfect for relaxing as the beautiful scenery drifts by), restaurant, and small upper deck bar. The boat's inviting atmosphere envelops you as soon as you step on board.

The Clair d'Etoile is owned by Marco Pouw, who has many years of experience as a barge operator. The boat itself sails under the Dutch flag and has gained a reputation as a popular small river barge in Europe - the Clair d'Etoile has received the Booking.com 2015 Award and has earned an average guest score of 9.4/10!
