SEINE RIVER CRUISES

Our expert chefs offer a range of cuisine, including vegan and vegetarian options daily, plus dishes for passengers with food intolerances or dietary restrictions. Guests enjoy international cuisine with a particular emphasis on locally-inspired food reflecting the local area, but whatever the ingredients, there is never a compromise on taste and flavour.

All our cruisers have easy access, but if you let us know your specific needs when you book, our team will be able to ensure that you are placed in the best cabin and that any adjustments are made ahead of your arrival. We’ll talk you through the boat layout so you’ll be familiar and comfortable with how you can get about. Some vessels have interconnecting staterooms, which are ideal for passengers who may require assistance from a family member or friend.

Ask one of our friendly booking team when you make your reservation. If anything changes between your point of booking and the cruise date, then we’ll let you know. We follow the latest Covid guidance from the World Health Organisation and keep in touch with local rules in the regions we sail through. Our onboard staff are all fully vaccinated.

You’ll need a visa and potentially more than one if you intend to extend your holiday beyond France or link up with another river cruise. Passengers are responsible for arranging their own visas and should do this well before their cruise date. Our helpful booking team can provide some general advice on what’s involved when you make your reservation.

Our Seine River Cruises are typically seven days long. Some Seine cruises run in both directions, allowing our customers to choose to board in Paris and travel along the Seine, disembarking on Le Harve, or oppositely, customers can board in Le Harve and disembarking in Paris at the end of the cruise.

The Seine River, a prominent waterway in northern France, flows gracefully through the picturesque landscapes of the Île-de-France region. Spanning approximately 777 kilometres, its journey begins in the Langres Plateau, nestled in the country’s northeastern part. As it meanders downstream, the Seine passes through several significant cities, including Troyes, Paris, and Rouen, before eventually reaching the English Channel near Le Havre.

With an extensive watershed covering around 78,000 square kilometres, it boasts one of the largest drainage basins in France. Tributaries, such as the Marne, Oise, Eure, and Yonne rivers, contribute to its flow. The river’s estuary near Le Havre is a vital maritime gateway for France, facilitating access to the English Channel and the North Sea. The Seine River’s diverse surroundings, encompassing charming countryside and thriving urban centres, make it a key cultural, economic, and environmental asset for the country.

Along its course, historical bridges add to the river’s allure, making it an attractive destination for tourists seeking to uncover its rich heritage and breathtaking beauty through delightful river cruises.
