Why Cruise The Seine?
Most Seine River cruises begin and end in Paris, with your cruise ship moored on the river in the heart of the city. The scenery along the Seine River from Paris to Normandy is spectacular. The river winds by picturesque chalk cliffs; Chateaux Gaillard and Bizy; and ancient towns such as Les Andelys.
Most cruise lines include excursions to Monet’s Garden and the majestic Cathedral Notre Dame in Rouen.
Experience the history of Northern France along the Seine including Gallo-Roman ruins, the famous Bayeux Tapestry and the unforgettable beaches of Normandy where Allied forces landed during WWII’s D-Day invasion.
On a Seine River cruise passengers will also enjoy cuisine, cheeses, wine and cider from the region.
There are many other sights and experiences to enjoy on a Seine River cruise. The above mentioned are just a sampling.
Understanding The Pricing Charts
The prices in this chart are based on double occupancy. The upgrade costs for a cabin with a balcony are per person. The value of the incentive is broken down per day, per person. True per diem will include the savings of incentives/discounts offered at the time of research as well as the imputed value of items that are not included.
Prices and details reflect information available at the time of research. Cruise lines offer varying incentives with differing time limits or deadlines, and it is best to check with a travel agent or the cruise company’s website. The incentives that are included in the charts were current at the time they were compiled and may no longer apply or there may be a new special offer.
