Paris, Rouen & Seine Discovery River Cruise
Experience life on the River Seine during a scenic river cruise. Visit Vernon, the town that inspired Impressionist artists, explore the medieval splendour of Rouen, and discover Paris, France’s iconic capital city.
Travelling on the recently refurbished MS Jane Austen, you’ll enjoy first-class service on our five-star ship as we cruise along the Seine.
Our first stop is Vernon, where we’ll moor before travelling to Bizy Castle for a delightful visit that includes a dance demonstration and a guided tour of the château’s elegant interiors. Returning to Vernon, we'll embark on a guided tour of this medieval town. We then continue to Rouen, one of Normandy’s most captivating medieval cities, where a guided tour reveals its half‑timbered streets and soaring Gothic cathedral immortalised by Monet.
And then it’s back to chic Paris. The sightseeing here is endless – the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Champs Élysées, the Eiffel Tower and more. You’ll definitely tick a few things off your bucket list! In between, you can put your feet up and enjoy the quintessential French countryside from the panoramic lounge or take advantage of our comfortable onboard facilities. France is one of the world’s most popular destinations, and our four-night river cruise is the perfect introduction.
