Magnifique I

Sitting area

16 cabins / 2 decks

We love boats! And we love their stories! Many of the bike and boat vessels that cruise European waterways were once cargo barges utilized for transporting materials up and down the rivers and canals This boat is no exception but a new chapter is beginning! Once the Quo Vadis, this ship is now being transformed and in 2024 will sail under a new name, the Magnifique I. The addition of a new section will expand the ship to nearly 57 meters in length and 6.6 meters in width. This size is ideal for navigating narrower waterways and docking conveniently in the heart of towns and cities. Look for the Magnifique I as it cruises along the rivers of Holland, Belgium, and Germany.
