The Journey
About This Voyage
The Seine winds through the soul of France — from the grand boulevards of Paris to the dramatic chalk cliffs of Normandy. This eight-day voyage is a journey through French history, art, and gastronomy, with the Eiffel Tower as your departure point and the D-Day beaches as a profound and moving finale.
Day by Day
Your Itinerary
Day 1
Paris, France
Embark in the City of Light. Spend the afternoon exploring Montmartre or the Marais before a welcome dinner aboard as the city's lights reflect on the Seine.
Day 2
Paris, France
Full day in Paris. Visit the Louvre, stroll the Champs-Élysées, or take a private tour of Versailles — the Palace of the Sun King, just 30 minutes from the city.
Day 3
Les Andelys, France
A charming Norman village dominated by the ruins of Château Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart's great fortress. Walk the ramparts for sweeping Seine valley views.
Day 4
Rouen, France
The city of Joan of Arc and Monet's cathedral paintings. Explore the medieval old town, the Gothic cathedral, and the Gros-Horloge astronomical clock.
Day 5
Normandy Beaches
A deeply moving day at the D-Day landing beaches — Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, and the Pointe du Hoc cliffs.
Day 6
Honfleur, France
One of Normandy's most beautiful harbour towns — the birthplace of Impressionism and the inspiration for Boudin, Monet, and Courbet. Explore the Vieux Bassin.
Day 7
Caudebec-en-Caux, France
A quiet Norman village with a stunning Flamboyant Gothic church. Enjoy a leisurely morning before cruising back toward Paris.
