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.

We had a great time on our bike/ barge trip! The food was outstanding as was the cook. The barge was unique and functional, but the washing machine was broken and had to be replaced, dishwasher was broken the entire trip. The captain seemed indifferent to us, after being very helpful pre trip. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and eager to share the areas history. The bikes were certainly less than expected and not in good operating condition. The host was on his first trip and the deckhand/assistant varied between friendly and aloof and moody. The trip plan had to change because of lock work, which is certainly understandable, but there also seemed to be many delays with the need to find water. We moored near several interesting villages, we often moored in ugly industrial sites! Our entire group was quite surprised by the liquor charges. The trip information stated that wine and beer would be available at reasonable prices on the boat. All the wines were €30 plus. We did not find that reasonable! corkage fee was €10 to bring any outside bottles! Overall, we enjoyed the experience, but it could have been better

Best time to visit
- Spring 2026
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.

- 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.
