Introducing the 8-passenger Kir Royale Luxury Barge: Cruise the Beautiful Champagne Region in Style


Frontiers is delighted to introduce the latest addition to our carefully selected list of recommended barges: Kir Royale, cruising the Champagne region from May 2024. This 8-passenger Ultra-Deluxe vessel takes guests on a scenic champagne voyage between Château-Thierry and Châlons-en-Champagne. On board, guests can expect a very spacious saloon which has been upgraded with a complete refit, as well as four newly renovated and individually decorated suites at over 200 sq ft in area. Each cabin features a contemporary en suite bathroom with his and hers sinks, and a luxurious oversized rainforest shower. Kir Royale enjoys three sun decks to truly enjoy the rolling vineyards that line the pretty River Marne, where artists Cézanne and Pissarro found inspiration for their paintings!

To celebrate the launch of Kir Royale, Frontiers is offering a 10% off reduction in charter cost when booked by Monday, October 2, 2023 (excludes September 2024 departures).
