No more peddling to motivate your employees or impress your customers: just take them on
boat! Slowing down the pace, forgetting time and space for a moment promotes human
relationships.
11
In Wallonia, you can perfectly organise your event on a boat or barge, whether berthed or
not! A company outing, a seminar, a thematic evening, a press conference, a banquet, a wine
tasting... with a quality and personalised service!
Fully enjoy these exceptional spaces, an original way of discovering Wallonia’s valleys, rivers
and canals!
Let yourself lazily drift on the water...

The Quintus Quartier has soul to spare!
Le Commissariat général au Tourisme • Direction des Produits touristiques - Av. Gouverneur Bovesse 74 - 5100 - JAMBES - BELGIUM
This “old sail boat” style vessel first set sail in 1898. She was
subsequently used as a merchant vessel cruising along the coasts and
rivers of the Netherlands. Today, the boat provides an elegant and
charming setting for hosting your events!
44
Newly refurbished (2011-2012), the boat has 2 rooms that can be
configured to suit your event’s needs (seminar, cocktail party, walking
dinner, thematic evening, incentive, etc.) and cabins. On fine days, the
roof terrace offers breathtaking views of the Meuse valley and the
Namur Citadel. For large events, gazebos and tests can be set up on
the quay.
The dynamic team of Quintus provides personalised solutions and
original activities to liven up your seminars. Rental of Segways or bikes,
musical entertainment, “tourist comedian” guides, demonstration of a
rescue operation on the Meuse by Terre-Neuve dogs, cookery courses,

Looking for an unusual and original venue?
The barge “Ange Gabriel” is just what you need!
Le Commissariat général au Tourisme • Direction des Produits touristiques - Av. Gouverneur Bovesse 74 - 5100 - JAMBES - BELGIUM
The barge was built in 1956. She used to sail the waters of Northern
Europe for the transport of various materials and continued to be
used as a transport vessel until 2007. The new owner subsequently
transformed her into a comfortable and warm pleasure craft, renaming
her as “Ange Gabriel”.
55
Whether for professional or private events, the Ange Gabriel regularly
casts off for her visitors and navigates the waterways of Wallonia.
The Ange Gabriel can be rented on an hourly basis (minimum 5 hours)
or for several days. She will take you on a cruise from Namur to the
destination of your choice. A stop for a bike ride, a cultural excursion
or at a riverside restaurant is possible at all times. Come and see what
life is like on board the Ange Gabriel and let her crew introduce you
to navigation techniques: overnight stay in the cabin, stewardship,
passage through locks, etc.

Events and cruises on the Meuse...
Le Commissariat général au Tourisme • Direction des Produits touristiques - Av. Gouverneur Bovesse 74 - 5100 - JAMBES - BELGIUM
Built in 1960, the MS Elisabeth is an old transport barge that was
subsequently converted into a comfortable pleasure craft to make
everyone feel at home! Moored in Namur from October to April, the
barge accommodates companies or small private groups.
77
Her current owners, Martine and Bernard, take every effort to help you
with the organisation of your business dinners. For 10 or 20 people,
they offer a gastronomic dinner, consisting of an aperitif on the terrace
with zakouskis and bubbles, starter, main course, and dessert. The boat
remains berthed for 4 hours, in the afternoons or in the evenings.
And to discover the beauty of the Meuse Valley, why not embark
on a mini-cruise of a few hours, a day or a weekend? Everything is
customised to your wants and needs.

For a successful communication, combine a
cruise with your event!
Le Commissariat général au Tourisme • Direction des Produits touristiques - Av. Gouverneur Bovesse 74 - 5100 - JAMBES - BELGIUM
“Le Pays de Liège” is a pleasure craft specially equipped for your
private or professional events. Designed in 1989 for passenger
transport, it was subsequently acquired by Blegny-Mine in 1992 (one
of the four major mining sites in Wallonia and UNESCO classified).
Le Pays de Liège is a veritable floating restaurant with two decks, and
as such allows clever combinations of conferences and dinners or
cocktail parties. The upper deck can be configured as a conference
room with a seating capacity of 50 people. The lower deck is larger,
and houses a bar, a fully equipped kitchen, a dance floor and a large
room for your guests.
The configuration of the boat and the mobility and flexibility of the
team means that all the visitors’ requirements can be fulfilled: from a
simple “onshore” cocktail party to a complete day including an on-site
visit. Le Pays de Liège can be booked throughout the year, both day
and night, except during the end-of-year festive period.
