highlights

As the most visited city in the world, Paris is undoubtedly a highlight that we need to mention here. This vibrant metropolis truly has something for everyone, whether you want to explore the big sites, hit the world-class shops or just sit in the Latin Quarter drinking coffee and watching life pass by. The Louvre stands as arguably the greatest museum in the world, home to timeless masterpieces, while Montmartre exudes charm and artistry like nowhere else in Europe. Be sure to visit the iconic Eiffel Tower, and don’t miss a leisurely stroll along the banks of the Seine, where crossing romantic bridges and marvelling at the city’s sights becomes an enchanting experience. To truly immerse yourself in the Parisian lifestyle, grab a good bottle of white wine, some lovely cheese, and extraordinary bread, then find a quiet spot by the Seine to relax and watch the chic world pass you by.

 

The ship itself is a true sanctuary of comfort and refinement, thoughtfully crafted to ensure a truly relaxing and memorable journey. With spacious, beautifully decorated cabins and elegant communal spaces featuring panoramic windows, you can unwind in style while soaking in the stunning views of the French countryside. The onboard dining is a highlight, serving gourmet French cuisine crafted from fresh, regional ingredients that will have you coming back for more. And with no need to drive or set an itinerary, you can sample as much of that glorious Bordeaux wine as you like, though please do drink as responsibly as it is possible to!
