The Grand Seine River & Normandy
Spend seven nights cruising the Seine on a round-trip journey from Paris that brings together Normandy’s history, art, and everyday life. Settle into a privately chartered first-class ship and unpack once as you travel through pastoral landscapes to towns shaped by centuries of change. Walk Rouen’s medieval streets and explore the harbor town of Honfleur, long associated with the Impressionist movement. Choose from included excursions that reflect different sides of the region, such as walking the cliffs of Étretat, visiting a cider farm for Calvados and Pommeau tastings, or touring the Malraux Museum of Modern Art. Learn about the events of World War II during visits to the Normandy beaches and the Caen Memorial Museum, and stroll the gardens at Claude Monet’s home in Giverny. The journey also includes time at Versailles and guided exploration of Paris, from its iconic landmarks to neighborhoods like the Latin Quarter. Meals are included throughout the cruise, with wine and beer served at lunch and dinner, and solo travelers can take advantage of no single supplement!
