Burgundy, the River Rhône and Provence River Cruise with Lake Geneva and Golden Pass Extension FAQ
What is the door-to-door service?

What is the deposit for this holiday?
The deposit for this holiday is £500 per person. The balance is due not later than 101 days before your sailing date.
Will I experience any noise when sailing?
When the ships are moving, you may hear some noise on board. This tends to be louder when the vessel is docking or manoeuvring to leave port. River conditions and the weather can also impact how much noise the ship makes. Cabins at the ship’s rear tend to be more affected by noise than those in the middle or towards the front of the vessel.
