Experience the essence of France, from Paris to Provence

Indulge the senses from the Seine to the Côte d’Azur, cruising through Normandy’s heartlands and the stunning Rhône Valley. Uncover art, history and culinary excellence on a unique French journey, rounded with stays in Paris and Nice.
Begin your journey with two exciting nights in romantic Paris. Explore the French capital’s iconic landmarks and enclaves, before joining your Emerald Star-Ship for a luxury river cruise along the beautiful Seine. As you journey through the heartlands of Normandy, uncover a rich tapestry of history, artistry and rustic charm that is quintessential Northern France. Explore Monet’s famed gardens at Giverny, stroll Rouen’s medieval streets and journey to Honfleur's picturesque harbour, where few ships venture. Join an insightful D-Day tour of Allied landings and guided e-bike rides and delight in authentic flavours, from cider farm tastings to succulent local oysters. Arrive by train in Lyon, a former Roman capital and heart of French gastronomy and embark on your next luxury Emerald Star-Ship cruise, along the Rhône and Saône rivers. Glide through landscapes of sun-soaked vineyards and Alpine foothills that have inspired artists, like Van Gogh, for generations. Enjoy an exclusive Provençal dinner hosted on board by a renowned French chef and a classical concert in ancient Avignon. Uncover the heritage of Arles, a former Phoenician port influenced by the Romans. Your three-night stay in charming Nice along the Cote D’Azur includes a guided tour of glitzy Monaco and Monte Carlo and time at leisure – a marvelous finale to your unforgettable French journey.
