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.
