Seine River Cruises

The Seine is more than a waterway; it is a living gallery of French history and art. While many see the Seine from large "floating hotels," we believe the only way to truly feel its rhythm is on an intimate expedition vessel. From the iconic monuments of Paris to the dramatic cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, we bring you closer to the banks where history was made and masterpieces were painted.

The Seine is more than a river; it is the soul of France, connecting the pulsing energy of Paris to the wild cliffs of the English Channel. Stretching from its source in Burgundy through the heart of the capital and across the rolling plains of Normandy, the Seine offers a diverse and ever-changing landscape.

A journey down the Seine is a journey back in time. Here are the highlights of the route from Paris toward the sea:

• Paris: Your gateway to the river, where the docks are lined with world-class museums and iconic monuments.
• Giverny & Vernon: The cradle of Impressionism. Visit Claude Monet’s house and gardens to see the water lilies and light that changed art forever.
• Rouen: The "City of a Hundred Spires." Walk through the medieval streets where Joan of Arc’s history unfolded, and see the cathedral immortalized by Monet.
• Caudebec-en-Caux: A gateway to the ancient abbeys of Normandy and the bridge between the river and the rural countryside.
• The Normandy Coast: Reach Honfleur or Le Havre, the historic ports where the river meets the sea, and the starting point for exploring the landing beaches of WWII.

Our experts are here to ensure your spontaneity is backed by field knowledge.
