Seine river cruises

Why CHOOSE A SEINE RIVER CRUISE?

The Seine showcases some of France’s prettiest scenery, so it’s no surprise that its picturesque towns and dramatic valleys have inspired some of the world’s greatest artists, including Monet and Matisse. The river stretches for almost 500 miles through northern France, where it rises in the Burgundy region and eventually reaches the English Channel. Along the way, it flows through the likes of Vernon – a quaint little town near Monet’s House and Gardens – the Medieval city of Rouen (with its 12th-century Gothic cathedral), and the lively port city of Le Havre, which has UNESCO World Heritage status. Then, of course, there’s Paris – the nation’s capital. It’s one of the most visited cities in the world, and the Seine runs right alongside some of its most iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Musée d'Orsay. And they’re not the only reasons to look up when you’re on the water. The city has 37 bridges crossing the Seine, including Pont Neuf – Paris’ oldest bridge, which dates back to the 1500s – and Pont Alexandre III. The latter’s as grand as it gets, with ornate details like gold statues and bronze lamps, which make it stand out from the rest.
