Conferences on floating heritage

The Ghent Barge was a flat-bottomed horse-drawn boat that navigated the Ghent-Bruges canal in the 17th century. For about 200 years, this vessel provided a permanent shuttle service between both cities. This historical barge has been fully reconstructed and is now available for receptions, seminars or conferences.

With its conference room seating up to 25 people and equipped with power connections, Wi-Fi, a projection screen and sound system, Gentse Barge offers all the facilities you need for a unique meeting.

Unique experience

Weigh anchor after the meeting and enjoy a relaxing boat trip through the picturesque waters of Ghent.
