About the trip

Setting out from Paris aboard MS Jane Austen, this cruise follows the Seine as it winds through northern France. After an afternoon boarding in Paris, the ship slips downstream towards Vernon, where you’ll find a town that once caught the eye of Impressionist painters and the ornate Bizy Castle, known as the “Little Norman Versailles,” offering a glimpse into aristocratic French life.

The following day, Rouen unfolds with its medieval streets and a Gothic cathedral immortalised by Monet. A visit reveals more than its spire— the cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart, or so it’s claimed. Later, as the ship moves on towards Conflans, you pass steep chalk cliffs and a fortress partly carved into rock at La Roche-Guyon, landscapes as solid and quiet as the river itself.

The final morning is for cruising back to Paris with a choice of a panoramic coach tour or an active guided walk through the city’s oldest squares and along the Seine’s islands. Evenings include French tunes from the ship’s resident accordionist, a chance to unwind in a floating hotel that feels more like a country house than a cruise liner.
