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 an excellent time on our Explore Europe tour with a wonderful group of people. Our Tour Facilitator, Sam Taylor, went above and beyond to ensure our group were well looked after and had an enjoyable time in all places visited. Our Bus Driver, Josh, was a driver extraordinaire with amazing skills and endless patience that ensured we arrived at our destinations safely. We were in excellent hands with Sam and Josh at the helm. Many laughs were had on tour. Our hotels were comfortable and our meals enjoyable. Buffet breakfasts every morning ensured we were ready to start the day. The tour itself takes you to amazing places and enables great experiences to be had and many special memories to linger on long past the tour. There is a lot of walking on tour, on uneven and sometimes very steep surfaces so ensure your fitness levels are adequate, and you have comfortable walking shoes, and you will experience an incredible journey. Hats off to Ex Pat Travel for providing their customers with a great experience from beginning to end.

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.
