Seine River Cruises

A hotbed of iconic French culture and hallowed history, the Seine will have you swooning one second and stunned the next. Romantic and fascinating in equal measure, this unparalleled waterway takes you on a journey of discovery across sights that have shaped France in all manner of different ways.

At 240 miles long, it’s a river that’s on the shorter side compared to some, but the Seine’s cultural riches are truly in abundance over its course.

Here, you’ll explore first-hand the likes of Caudebec-en-Caux, where Monet and Boudin sought inspiration for their works; the D-Day beaches of Normandy and its tales of incredible human sacrifice; and Rouen, the historic city where Joan of Arc became a martyr for her beliefs. Again a muse for Monet, the legendary painter was so inspired by Rouen Cathedral he captured the building on canvas 30 times. Later on in Giverny, you’ll even be able to stroll through the gardens and home Monet turned into a legacy.

Of course, the Seine’s centrepiece is Paris, the country’s capital that’s alive with both time-honoured icons like The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, but an infectious, inspiring energy courtesy of its people – as much a must-see as the city’s world-famous art galleries and architecture.
