Aslaug is a replica Luxemotor Dutch barge built in 2005/2006 to operate as a hotel barge on the French waterways. She is one of around 50 hotel barges operating in France, and currently offers holiday cruises on the river Somme (Canal de la Somme), between Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme and Péronnes. She is the only hotel barge operating on this waterway.[1] Aslaug was named after a queen of Norse mythology.
