Sensations of the Seine & Normandy
Sensations of the Seine & Normandy

A northern France river cruise where every step tells a story
Cruise the Seine through Normandy’s historic and cultural heart. From Monet’s gardens to the D-Day beaches, this charming region offers something for every traveller.

This unique eight-day cruise along the alluring Seine begins and ends in Paris, the French capital and romantic ‘City of Light.’ On board Emerald Lumi, custom-built for this river, you’ll embark on a memorable journey through Normandy, discovering a wealth of culinary, artistic and historical highlights. Through ancient towns and bucolic landscapes, relish exclusive experiences that reflect the region. Visit Giverny and the former home and gardens of Monet, an idyllic spot that inspired the celebrated Impressionist’s works. Discover Rouen, a charming city forever linked to Saint Joan of Arc and Viking warriors. Cruise into the centre of Honfleur – where few ships have access – and join a full day tour of World War II’s D-Day landing sites, then savour the local specialty, ocean fresh oysters. Enjoy bespoke experiences, like a visit to a traditional cider farm and the impressive Château de La Roche-Guyon or embark on guided e-bike tours and hikes. Add a two-night extension in Paris (available as a pre or post stay) to explore the city’s iconic sights, culture and cuisine.
