Going to Alsace-Lorraine!!

I am so excited that we have just booked another European boating trip!  This will be the 7th canal boating trip that my husband, David, and I are taking.  Joining us is first time boater Deena!  Earlier this week, we reserved the beautiful boat, the Horizon 4 from LeBoat and today we booked our flights!  Our trip is to the eastern side of France, right on the border of Germany, in the Alsace-Lorraine region.  The Horizon 4 is one of the newest boats so we're excited to be trying it out!

Horizon 4 - As you can see, there is an upstairs seating area, where the captain can steer the boat.  You can also sit and steer from inside, if we have inclement weather.


This is the layout of the Horizon 4.  There are four cabins, each with their own bathroom.  Two cabins in front with double beds (pictured in blue) and two in the middle (in orange) that can be set up as twins or pushed together as doubles.  These four cabins are down a step or two from the main living area.  That part, the saloon, has a couch and table (green) and a galley (kitchen) opposite.  We can also sit on top of the boat or outside in the rear section.  The whole boat is just over 44 feet long and more than 14 feet wide!
