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.

Everything was well planned . Unfortunate that the hotels were located far away from city centers or smaller towns where we could explore when we checked into hotels on foot . The areas were often in a area that felt not to safe for visitors
European VistasWe had the most fun with the fabulous group of people travelling on this tour. An amazing and definitely the Best driver -Sinise - and the absolute best tour leader - Alex - who taught us so much about each place we visited and made it all interesting and fun.

Best time to visit
- 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.

- Summer 2027
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.
