Sailing from the wonderful city of Paris, a cruise along the Seine through the historic heart of Normandy is perhaps the most romantic of river cruises. The Seine is a river of enchanting landscapes, from vast orchids and dramatic coastal formations to bright white chalk cliffs and impressive castle ruins, it's easy to see why this region remains such an inspiration for painters and artists. You will discover the many highlights of this region; Paris itself never fails to impress with its world-famous sights of the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Champs Elysées. From Vernon visit Monet's House and water garden, and from Rouen experience a thought-provoking tour to the Normandy Beaches. With a full programme of excursions included, and sailing onboard the comfortable and friendly River Baroness, you are sure to remember your holiday along the Seine for years to come.
