With its grand monuments and gardens laid along the river- Seine, Paris makes the perfect mini-cruise destination. On this cruise we experience the French capitol’s iconic sights, savour a gala dinner amid the evening illuminations, and enjoy time to soak up the many delights of the ‘City of Lights’. YOUR HOLIDAY WILL INCLUDE:
Friday – This morning we will collect you from home, bringing you to meet your tour coach as it makes its way to our channel crossing. We will arrive into Paris late afternoon ready to embark on our ship. This evening, we will enjoy a Captains welcome cocktail reception as well as a 3-course dinner.
Saturday- This morning, we set off on a guided tour of Paris by coach, experiencing its most iconic sights. Admire highlights such as the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Élysées, Place de la Concorde, Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame Cathedral among others, and drink in the city’s handsome 18th-century boulevards along the way. We then spend the afternoon at leisure, giving us the opportunity to revisit some of the attractions viewed this morning. Afterwards, we return to our ship for an evening of dancing. Depending on the water level of the Seine, we may also cruise to La Défense this evening.
Sunday – Our day begins with a guided visit to old Montmartre to admire its crowning glory - the stunning, white-marble Sacré-Coeur Basilica. This afternoon brings more free time in the city, enabling you to delve deeper into its art, history, and culture, and sample its world-leading fashion and gastronomy. Back aboard, our last evening brings a delicious gala dinner and a scenic Paris by night cruise (depending on the water level of the river)
Monday- After breakfast, we disembark and make our way home.
