Our first cruise and we absolutely loved it. Cannot find a fault with anything at all. All the crew were, without exception, fantastic. Ship was great, cabin was spotless and beds were very comfortable. Food was really good and service faultless. We went on the 5 day Amsterdam and bulbfields cruise which was really good. Our only complaint was that we would have preferred to miss out Rotterdam, which felt like we were in any large city . Nothing special to see. We would have preferred more time in Amsterdam to check out the museums etc.

Paris, France
DAY 1
31 Jul 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Nicknamed the City of Light, Paris is easily among the most breathtaking cities in the world and a remarkable destination to spend any amount of time in. The French capital, this impressive city is overflowing with incredible historical landmarks, fascinating cultural experiences, world-renowned museums and galleries, impressive architecture, and a culinary landscape worth indulging in. With so much to see and do when you arrive, you’ll be spoilt for choice the moment you disembark. From strolling along the Seine while admiring breathtaking landmarks like the Eifell Tower and faithfully-reconstructed Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris to marvelling at the Mona Lisa and more in the Musée du Louvre, tucking into authentic French cuisine in a gourmet bistro, exploring the vibrant gardens of Champ-de-Mars and Jardin des Tuileries, and so much more, there really is something for every type of traveller here. You’ll also be less than an hour away from Disneyland Paris via train, if twisting rollercoasters are more your scene. A magnificent modern metropolis boasting one of the world’s most impressive cultural landscapes, an unrivalled culinary scene, and an impressive array of attractions certain to accommodate anyone who visits, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this sensational city.
Things to do in Paris, France:
Musée du Louvre
Housed in a former royal palace originally built in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, Musée du Louvre is among the most famous museums in the world, housing some of the most canonical works of Western art alongside staggering collections of Egyptian antiquities, Asian artwork, ancient Greek and Roman artefacts, Islamic art, and Objets d’art from the Middle Ages onwards. Not only is this the largest museum in the world, but also the most-visited. Within, you’ll find everything from Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo to the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II, Madame du Barry’s Louis XVI-style commode, which dates back to 1772, and so much more. Every corner of this incredible museum is full of fascinating artwork to admire and historic artefacts to uncover; it’s, without a doubt, a must-visit destination when spending any amount of time in Paris.
Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris
An iconic 12th-century Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Notre-Dame is widely considered one of the world’s best examples of French Gothic architecture, and it pioneered several architectural features during its construction. Famous for housing three pipe organs and an immense set of church bells, Notre-Dame was severely damaged during the French Revolution. Interestingly, Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame played an important part in inspiring interest that eventually led to its restoration throughout the 1840s and 1850s. It was then significantly damaged by fire in 2019, but has since been faithfully reconstructed and is now open again to explore and admire.
Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre
Overlooking Paris atop Montmartre, a major hill in the city’s 18th arrondissement, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is a breathtaking minor basilica dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and is one landmark worth making time to visit when exploring the French capital. Completed and consecrated in the early 20th century, the views from atop Montmartre are unrivalled; when you’re not admiring the stunning architecture of the Basilica, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the entire city. From the hill, you’ll have no trouble spotting the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. For even better views, access to the dome atop Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is available for a nominal fee; the sweeping views of Paris you’ll enjoy here are unforgettable.
Les Andelys, France
DAY 2
01 Aug 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Les Andelys, a charming commune on the banks of the Seine, is an idyllic destination. Sitting between Paris and Rouen, well into modern Normandy, this port of call boasts stunning countryside, charming riverside scenery, a fascinating history to uncover, and countless opportunities to indulge in authentic French cuisine. Château Gaillard, its most notable landmark, towers over both the Seine and Les Andelys, hinting at this destination’s intriguing past. For those who want to stretch their legs and explore the Normandy countryside, Les Andelys is a fantastic starting point; however, you’ll have just as much fun treating yourself to this region’s gastronomic delights. Normandy, however, is known more for its cider than its wines, so the oenophiles among you may have to look further afield for a glass of wine worth savouring.
Things to do in Les Andelys, France:
Château Gaillard
The ruins of an impressive medieval castle overlooking Les Andelys, Château Gaillard, is a landmark you won’t want to miss when visiting this charming commune. Built in the late 12th century under Richard the Lionheart, who was both King of England and feudal Duke of Normandy at the time, Château Gaillard boasts an unusually complex design and was among the first European castles to utilise machicolations on its battlements. This display of advanced construction techniques and its strategic position along the Seine made Château Gaillard a hotly contested fortification throughout the late Middle Ages, changing hands numerous times during the Hundred Years’ War. Despite Henry IV of France ordering the castle’s demolition in 1599, Château Gaillard survived and is now a remarkable historical landmark you can explore during your visit to Les Andelys.
Collégiale Notre-Dame
First constructed in the 13th century and developed numerous times since, Collégiale Notre-Dame is a stunning monument in the heart of Les Andelys and a shining example of French Gothic architecture. With vibrant stained-glass windows to admire and preserved furniture within, there’s a lot to enjoy about visiting this charming church.
Parc du Bord de Seine
If you’re after charming riverside strolls and idyllic scenery along the Seine while in Les Andelys, Parc du Bord de Seine is the place to be. This stretch of green space spans the entire width of Les Andelys, connecting Parc du Petit Andelys with the Randonnée du Mont Pivin and the Promenade des Prés hiking areas, giving you plenty of options for wandering through the vibrant countryside here.
Rouen
DAY 3
02 Aug 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Considered a cultural capital of France’s Normandy Region, Rouen is a remarkable historical city sitting on the banks of the River Seine, which has been significant in one way or another since the Middle Ages. Seat of the Exchequer of Normandy and a capital of the Anglo-Norman and Angevin dynasties throughout the 11th to the 15th centuries, home to the site where Jeanne d’Arc was tried and burned alive, severely damaged during Operation Overlord in 1944, and now contributing to France’s impressive HAROPA Port – of which Le Havre and Paris also contribute – the cultural, historical, and economic importance of Rouen and cannot be overstated. With an overnight stay aboard your cruise ship in Rouen, you’ll have even more time to enjoy this remarkable city – and, of course, more time to travel inland to Paris and indulge in everything the French capital has to offer.
Things to do in Rouen:
Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen
Established by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1801, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen is one of the main regional fine art museums in France and features collections including impressionist paintings, Russian icons, Objets d’art, and more. The building currently housing the museum was constructed between 1877 and 1888 and features regular seasonal exhibitions alongside the permanent display of an incredible wealth of art from the 16th century onwards.
Le Gros-Horloge
An impressive 14th-century astrological clock in central Rouen, Le Gros-Horloge, is a marvel of technological advancements in the Middle Ages. Originally constructed without a dial, in which one revolution of the hour hand represented a day, a fresh facade was introduced in the 1520s, and the whole clock was electrified in the early 20th century. It’s one of the largest mechanisms of this type still in existence today and an impressive landmark to admire while exploring this incredible destination.
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen is an impressive 12th-century Catholic cathedral in the heart of Rouen; a must-see and hard-to-miss landmark, it’s famous for its three towers, each boasting a distinct architectural style. It’s believed that Rouen’s first church, which would have been established circa 260 by Saint Mellonius, is under or close to the present location of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen. To say this site has cultural significance would be an understatement; it was also briefly the tallest building in the world from 1876 to 1880 and the subject of several impressionist paintings by Claude Monet.

Vernon
DAY 6
05 Aug 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Vernon, a charming medieval town in the department of Eure, boasts idyllic countryside scenery, quaint streets lined with boutique shops and spots for authentic French cuisine, and a historic mill that is one of the most iconic sights on the Seine outside Paris. First mentioned circa 750, this small commune has a rich history to uncover, and you’ll find evidence of it throughout, with both half-timbered houses and dramatic castles to explore. This is also a fantastic destination for foodies, with numerous restaurants and cafes waiting to whisk you away on an adventure across the region’s vibrant culinary landscape. Vernon also boasts vibrant riverside vistas on both sides of the Seine, affording you plenty of options when it comes to strolling through scenery that feels as though it’s been ripped straight from a Monet painting. In fact, the iconic 16th-century mill here was painted by the Impressionist several times. It might not be the largest commune on your river cruise, but a visit to Vernon is always worth looking forward to.
Things to do in Vernon:
Le Vieux-Moulin de Vernon
An impressive historic water mill that is widely considered a symbol of Vernon, this half-timbered structure sits atop several stone piers on the River Seine. Constructed in the 16th century on a 12th-century stone bridge, this iconic landmark has been captured by artists like Monet and offers visitors an insight into the early industry of Eure and France as a whole. It started life as a grain mill, a vital part of local economic growth, but now stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the past and Vernon’s heritage.
Musée Blanche Hoschedé-Monet
Located in the heart of Vernon, Musée Blanche Hoschedé-Monet is a fascinating museum showcasing an intriguing collection of Impressionist artwork, as well as several curated collections exploring the region's natural history. While visiting, you’ll be invited to explore this region’s natural heritage and reflect on humanity’s position within the living world; it’s easily one of the best places outside France’s major regional museums to admire stunning landscapes depicting the Seine and northern France’s natural landmarks.
Château des Tourelles
An impressive 12th-century castle that once played a pivotal role in Vernon’s strategic importance as a military base, particularly during Richard the Lionheart’s reign as Duke of Normandy, Château des Tourelles is one of the few French castles that has been left relatively unchanged for over 800 years. So, if you’re wondering what life would have looked like in the Middle Ages, Château des Tourelles is one historic site where you’ll get a pretty good picture of just that.
