About the trip

This Riviera Travel cruise offers a leisurely route along the Seine, beginning and ending in Paris aboard the MS Jane Austen. The itinerary includes iconic Paris landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame followed by tranquil cruising towards historic towns. Highlights include a guided visit to Auvers-sur-Oise, where Van Gogh spent his final days, and Rouen, Normandy’s medieval capital with its cathedral once the world’s tallest building.

In Normandy, the choice between a full-day tour of the D-Day landing beaches or a taste of local produce offers varied insights into the region’s past and its culinary traditions. The cruise also calls at Honfleur or Étretat, known for their well-preserved harbour and dramatic white cliffs respectively, inspiring many a painter. Inland, visits to Caudebec and the MuseoSeine, and to abbeys nurtured by centuries of history, add richness to your days.

As the journey winds back to Paris, there’s time to stroll La Roche-Guyon with its château and explore the Palace of Versailles. The MS Jane Austen provides a comfortable base throughout, with live French chanson evenings and tasting sessions offering a taste of local culture afloat. This cruise unfolds at an easy pace, encouraging thoughtful enjoyment of landscapes and history.
