Viking cruises, sophisticated rivers

This is a very elegant and historical cruise, rich in history and gastronomy. It begins with a day in Paris, for shopping, café society and generally soaking up of atmosphere, before moving through a landscape rich in the medieval castles, cathedrals and tiny villages that make up the heart of beautiful Normandy, enjoying the subtle and serene movement of the river.

The cruise is called, not unnaturally - Splendours of the Seine, it lasts eight days, next leaves on 15th June and will cost from £1245 Itinerary: Paris City sightseeing Conflans Walking tour Vernon Giverny - Monet Foundation visit Les Andelys
