French River Cruises Tips

  • Choose from the luxurious Loire for a cultural immersion, the relaxing Rhône for an enchanting adventure or the stunning Seine for an intimate tour of Paris, there are many possibilities to ensure that you have the best river cruise experience.
  • Get up at least once to watch the sunrise! Remember to wear warm clothes as it can be chilly as the mist rises up from the river and the sun peeks over the hills to wake up all the birds along the banks.
  • Choose your style! CroisiEurope offer a great value for money, or if you like living the life of luxury, Avalon cruises are for you!
  • It would be a crime to travel to France and not sample their world-renowned wine! Make sure you grab a glass and savour their sparkling flavours as they tantalise your tastebuds.
  • Don’t hesitate! European summer is prime-time for cruising so make sure you grab our last-minute 2019 deals so you can spend your days cruising on tranquil waters. It’s pure bliss!
  • There’s no better way to explore Europe than on a barge cruise. Weave through canals with an intimate experience of authentic French cuisine and accommodations that make you feel at home.
