River Cruises in France

A river cruise down the waterways of France is the perfect way to experience the most visited country in the world. Let Paris tease out your romantic side with a cruise along France's most iconic river, the Seine, enjoying romantic scenery and historic landmarks - including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. In Normandy, you'll visit sites that changed the course of history - like the D-Day landing beaches - and travel through a charming landscape awash with fragrant cider orchards, half-timbered barns and characterful wooden farmhouses. Of course, there'll be plenty of opportunities to taste the region's delicious apple cider too!

Or perhaps you'll choose the Rhône, its banks are adorned with ancient Roman ruins, medieval castles and quaint French villages. You'll travel through the scenic winelands to the hills of Provence, stopping to explore some of the area's landmarks - like the ancient Roman aqueduct Pont du Gard, the papal palace in Avignon and the historic city of Lyon. As we slip into Burgundy, we'll learn more about the region's wine-producing legacy and taste some of the best red wines in the world - it would be rude not to! 

Alternatively, explore France and Germany on a Rhine river cruise, tasting the local kugelhopf as we explore the picturesque houses that line Strasbourg canal and Colmars cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. 

Follow expert Tour Managers and local guides on excursions to some of France’s finest locations. Then head back on board, stretch out on the sun on the deck, watching beautiful scenes of yellows and purples pass you by. Dine onboard, tucking into the finest cuisine showcasing an array of local flavours, and toast your days with a glass of champagne - grown in the famous French region - in the company of brilliant, like-minded travelers.
