Boat Bike Tours: Cycling Cruises in France
Sponsored

At Boat Bike Tours, we’re proud to be the leading provider of cycling cruises in Europe. Our team consists of over 150 experienced tour leaders, about 400 dedicated ship crew members, and 65 enthusiastic office staff, all working together to provide you with an unforgettable experience. Every year, we welcome more than 19,000 guests on board, helping them explore the beauty of Europe in a unique way: by bike and boat. With the recent integration of Islandhopping, our expertise now extends to destinations like Croatia, Greece, and Turkey, in addition to our well-loved tours in the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and Germany.
What we do
As the name suggests, Boat Bike Tours combines two key elements: cycling and cruising. Guests enjoy active days exploring scenic routes by bike while relaxing each night aboard a comfortable ship. Our tours are designed to provide not just travel, but also unforgettable experiences—discovering local culture, enjoying fresh regional cuisine, and meeting fellow travelers along the way. We take care of every detail, from providing high-quality bikes and navigation tools to offering experienced tour leaders or the freedom to explore self-guided. Delicious meals are prepared on board, and you’ll stay in comfortable cabins with private bathrooms.
Benefits and charms

Our tours last from 5 to 15 days, depending on the route you choose, offering a perfect blend of activity and relaxation. Guests cycle through charming villages, stunning vineyards, and historic cities by day, and return to their floating hotel each evening for a restful stay. No two tours are the same. Some routes are flat and easy, while others offer more challenging terrain. Whether fully guided or self-guided, our tours allow you to travel in the way that suits you best.
Our experience, your adventure
For decades, we’ve been creating unforgettable cycling and cruising holidays, refining every detail based on feedback from our guests, crew, and tour leaders. This has allowed us to continuously improve our tours, from developing exciting new routes to offering tailored excursions that add a special touch to your adventure. The combination of daily activity and the pampering comfort of your floating home makes Boat Bike Tours an unparalleled travel experience.
With our expanded expertise through Islandhopping, we’re ready to show you even more of Europe’s stunning coastlines and inland treasures. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
