Overview

Art, History and Architecture Abound

Discover the charms of Normandy on this wonderous journey that takes you along River Seine between the City of Light and the English Channel. This splendid waterway cuts through the heart of Paris, before winding its way along some of the most celebrated sites in northern France.

Be immersed in the unique culture and traditions of Normandy, learn about its fascinating history, and admire the spectacular scenery on the only 11 Day cruise along this stretch of river. Explore the sombre legacy of WWI at the Somme Battlefield, visit the home of the impressionist art movement as you feel inspired by the house and garden of Monet. Explore the grand château that was once home to Napoleon, and walk in the footsteps of King Richard the Lionheart at Château Gillard. Balance out the history with meanders through storybook villages, sampling delicious French fare from cheese to calvados, and enjoy a final fling with Paris before returning home.
