SMITHS FALLS — Le Boat has launched a new summer flash sale that includes up to 30% off on houseboat vacations.

The sale applies to bookings made before July 25, 2022 for trips taken in 2022. With reports of flight delays and cancellations at many of Canada’s major airports, Le Boat says the sale offers guests within driving distance of its many locations to experience a luxurious vacation close to home.

“Though most of us want to feel like we have emerged from the pandemic, it continues to influence the travel industry,” said Lisa McLean, Le Boat’s Marketing Manager for Global Long Haul Markets. “We’re excited to present this sale offering to vacationers, especially people affected by recent flight delays or cancellations.”

For those wishing to stay within Canada on their next vacation, Le Boat offers a European-style cruise on the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Ontario. No boating licence is required; cruisers learn how to captain the boat themselves following an in-depth orientation on boating safety and navigation.

Additionally, Le Boat’s flexible booking policy and COVID refund guarantee remain in place for 2022 and 2023 new bookings confirmed before October 2022.

Those wishing to postpone their international travel to next year, Le Boat also has sale prices for 2023 with an Early Booking Offer featuring savings of up to 15%.

Le Boat operates a fleet of 950 boats stationed in over 37 different departure bases across eight European countries. It arrived in Canada in 2018 and has since grown to include a local fleet of 30 Horizon Cruisers on the Rideau Canal. Originating in France over 50 years ago, it now offers guests vacation options in the south of France departing from Canal du Midi, in Burgundy’s Nivernais & Loire Wine region, along Amsterdam’s famous waterways and Venice’s canals, as well as in Scotland.
