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.

Day 8

Disembark in Paris

Disembark after breakfast in Paris. Optional three-night Paris extension available.
