Cruise France : River Cruises

Cruising Through France
France is the country of beauty and romance - from the vineyard-covered hillsides of Burgundy, through the lavender-scented fields of charming Provence in southern France. Further north, Normandy's historic towns and beaches and pastoral landscapes dot the countryside, awaiting your arrival.

In between are the cosmopolitan sights of Paris, with its broad boulevards, quaint cafes and spectacular museums. You can look forward to a cruise experience that is rich in legendary cuisine, and steeped in natural beauty and joie de vivre. Enchanting orchards, colorful pastures and crystal clear streams await you as you cruise through the Seine's scenic river valley. As you sail along this majestic waterway, you'll journey through the heart of Normandy-a region central to the history of France and much of Europe. Spend time strolling the exquisite gardens of Giverny, the lush landscape that inspired the artist Claude Monet. Walk the cobblestone streets of provincial Vernon, and enjoy a history excursion to the Normandy Beaches. And especially, revel in the splendor of the world's most romantic city, Paris, and experience the magic of this city of love. Your journey through France takes you past some of the most beautiful vineyards and vistas in the French countryside.
 
Cruise on the Rhone and Saone Rivers
As you travel  along the Saone and Rhone Rivers, you'll explore the famed region of Burgundy, the lavender-scented hills of Provence and the wild, majestic scenery of the Ardeche region. Indulge your taste buds by sampling the famed cuisine of Lyon and fabled wines of Burgundy. In beautiful Arles, see for yourself why this city was such an inspiration to Vincent van Gogh. View the historic Papal Palace of Avignon and imposing ancient Roman ruins scattered across the region.
 
Cruise on the Seine River
Cruise along the Seine from Paris, through the historic heart of Normandy, and the endless beaches of the Atlantic Coast. The legendary Seine River proudly tells the tales of generations of kings and knights, endless battles and the death of the French national patron saint, Joan of Arc. It leads your ship through orchards, past historic abbeys and chateaux, fashionable resorts and scenery that inspired many artists, including the great French Impressionists Monet and Renoir.
 
The Price of your cruise includes:
The price of your ticket includes all of your meals and in-between snacks on-board; your stateroom, activities, parties and entertainment; plus, an exciting voyage to some of the most enchanting and culturally-enriching places in the world. You'll meet new friends who share the same tastes and interests as you. The hassles of an ordinary vacation are completely eliminated. A cruise is one convenient package. You don't have to worry about making dinner or nightclub reservations, running to make flight connections as you travel from one destination to another, or packing and unpacking.
