Essence of Burgundy & Provence Cruise Review
Essence of Burgundy & Provence FAQ
Are there leisure activities on board during the cruise?
Yes, we provide many onboard amenities with which you can occupy your time, including the whirlpool on the sun deck, the fitness room, and a hair salon.
What are some of the key attractions along the Rhone and Saone rivers?
Highlights of the two rivers include the historic city of Lyon, the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, the mediaeval town of Avignon, and much more!
How much free time is available for passengers during the cruise?
Itineraries are designed to balance excursions with free time so passengers can explore independently or relax on board, and while amount of free time can vary, you can have as much leisure time as you want outside of excursions. Opt for independent exploration of your ports of call or stay on the ship instead of signing up for activities offered on the itinerary.
