Royal Classique's key features

Royal Classique Sundeck

  • The large sundeck is a fabulous location for enjoying the beauty of boat vacations in Europe. Just relaxing and dining alfresco is delightful.
  • A second steering station offers superior visibility for the skipper.
  • Generous side decks make line handling easy.
  • A safe is aboard for your convenience and security.
  • Bow thrusters are a major attraction of this boat!
  • The onboard electrical system runs on 12-volt DC power and has 220-volt shore power.
  • The Royal Classique is equipped with an efficient and reliable diesel engine.
Air cooling and air conditioning

When the temperatures soar, our cabin air cooling system can help make your night’s sleep a little more comfortable. Air cooling uses canal/river water to produce cool air which is blown out through vents.

 

Please note: This is not the same as air-conditioning which can achieve lower temperatures and has a thermostatic control. Performance significantly reduces if canal/river temperature is too high.

We were meet early by Maureen at about 15:45, who was very helpful with canal instructions. She ordered a taxi to take us to the market. The boat was ready and stocked with the ordered previsions we had asked for. We were given an instructional boat operation tour by a very nice gentleman. Don't remember his name. We have been talking about this trip for many years and we finally were able to do it. This was an adventure of a lifetime.

The booking process was so easy, and the sales team were immensely helpful. We were given a huge welcome from the base team, who were absolutely wonderful. They gave great tips for places to visit, guidance on the best places to moor the boat, and advice on where we could comfortably reach in our timeline. The boat provided absolutely everything we needed. Very comfortable. Very spacious. It was like a floating apartment! Home from home.

We were so happy that we used Leboat for our French canal boat trip. From start to finish they made our vacation great. The booking and payment process was clear and easy to follow. Check in was a nice experience and our week aboard the Royal Classique was wonderful as the boat was clean and easy to operate and the scenery beautiful. Check out was surprisingly quick and efficient. All Leboat employees were fantastic! Thank you Leboat Team! Tawny and Scott We were so happy that we used Leboat for our French canal boat trip.
