Marguerite, Belmond’s New Luxury Houseboat

Starting in the summer of 2026, Belmond Bateaux will expand its French fleet with Marguerite, a floating villa in the heart of Burgundy.

Belmond Bateaux is preparing to launch Marguerite, a new houseboat-hotel set to cruise the canals of Burgundy starting in late summer 2026. The result of a complete transformation of the former Amaryllis, this vessel has become a true floating villa, accommodating up to eight guests in four double suites, all featuring private bathrooms.
