Seine River Cruises
Want to cruise the Seine from Paris out to Normandy? You'll glide past all those illuminated Paris landmarks at night, through French countryside, past Monet's actual gardens at Giverny. Head out of the capital to D-Day landing beaches. You'll taste French wines, explore charming villages and see France from the water - it's wonderfully relaxed compared to rushing around.

Great value for money, whirlwind tour of 7 beautiful countries, each one more beautiful than the last. Expect to have long days packed with wonderful experiences. I would highly recommend this tour. Bring comfortable shoes and a happy disposition 😁 you won't regret booking this wonderful your!
European VistasDimos puts so much passion into what he does! Sure, he is the tour leader, but so much more than that. We called him Doctor Dimos (he has a deep soul and a very kind person) and DJ Dimos (as he is in charge of the music on the bus). Each morning he brings so much energy and can't wait to tell you about the next country/city you are about to explore. Once there, you gives you the best recommendations which places to visit during your free time. Dismos' knowledge about each city is mind-blowing. Whilst everyone is on holiday, he is busy sorting out accommodation, restaurant bookings and helping everyone to have the best trip ever. Our next trip would is Greece, and hopefully he can be our tour leader again! You can't ask for a better tour leader than Dimos - with so much travel experience and being able to speak so many languages - he is just number one!
Europe ExplorerSkipper Jakob, Chef Loek, Guide Sietse and first mate Piet was our crew of 4 and treaed us like royalty. I returned home, completely satisfied and spoiled. This was an amazing experience Thanks to all and to my co-travellers.

Best time to visit
- Summer 2026
Summer gives us lots of daylight for evening cruises past Paris's famous sites. The 8:30 PM sailings are really popular - you catch both sunset and the monuments lighting up. We've got active options like cycling along the river, hiking up to Richard the Lionheart's old castle and also walking tours through medieval Rouen. The ships serve multi-course French dinners right on deck while you watch villages and countryside drift by. You'll stop at Honfleur's busy harbor, see Caudebec's gardens in full bloom and also visit Giverny when Monet's gardens look their absolute best.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings nice temperatures and rich colors to the Seine Valley. Our autumn cruises focus on local food traditions with visits to apple orchards, Calvados makers and also cheese producers in Normandy. You'll find fewer crowds at places like Versailles' private apartments and Monet's gardens. The route includes Rouen's old quarter where fall colors make the timber buildings look even better, plus Les Andelys where the light's just right for photos of Château Gaillard against the autumn sky. Lots of our guests choose these trips because they mix cultural visits with seasonal food experiences really well.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings a special mood to Seine River cruises, especially during Christmas season. The December voyages let you see Paris's lights reflecting off the water while staying cozy aboard. Our boats dock right by the Tuileries Garden Christmas market - perfect for trying mulled wine and hot chestnuts. The routes take you to Rouen's Cathedral Square with its 70 different market stalls, Les Andelys and also Château Gaillard. Many of our guests tell us they love the intimate Christmas Eve dinner onboard before joining midnight mass at Rouen's Gothic cathedral if they choose. These winter trips include nice stops at Martainville Château and Honfleur's old fishing port, both looking quite magical with holiday decorations.
- Spring 2027
The Seine Valley really comes alive in spring with gardens in full bloom. Our spring cruises time the Giverny visits just right - you'll see Monet's Japanese bridges draped in purple wisteria and the first water lilies opening up. We stop at Vernon to see its old timber houses, check out Rouen's astronomical clock and also explore Les Andelys' riverside paths when the weather's perfect for walking or biking. Many travelers pick spring to visit Normandy's D-Day beaches before summer gets busy, plus you get to see all the apple trees blooming across Calvados.
