Saone River Cruises
Rising above Dijon, the Saone River descends towards Lyon, passing through several charming little towns just before it flows into the Rhone. Visit Beaune, famous for its medieval architecture, and take advantage of numerous hiking trails offering beautiful views of the river and countryside.

This was our first river cruise experience, and it was fantastic. We didn't know what the difference would be with the large ocean-going crises, but the more intimate cruising experience was heads-and-shoulders above the average mega-ship cruise. The ship, the crew, the itinerary, the dining, was all excellent. We will definitely do another river cruise.
