Still looking for the perfect summer vacation? Let us help you with that. Our top pick
for summer 2026: an indulgent cruise through the sun-kissed riverscapes of France.
You'll spend your days soaking up the French art of living. Think free-flowing wine
paired with sun deck views. Freshly baked croissants with your morning
espresso. Farmers' markets are spilling out across the sidewalks.

8 Days | Roundtrip Paris | S.S. Joie de Vivre
Experience Paris at its most vibrant. Stroll through Monet's gardens at
Giverny in peak bloom. Breathe in the coastal air at Honfluer. Cool off
with crisp apple cider at a Normandy farm.

8 Days | Roundtrip Bordeaux | S.S. Bon Voyage
Wash down Médoc oysters with local white wine. Meander the golden,
cobblestone streets of medieval Saint-Émilion. Golf enthusiast? Our Premium
Golf Package, recently featured in Golf Monthly, lets you take a
swing at two of the finest courses in France.

8 Days | Arles to Lyon | S.S. Catherine
Catch the famed lavender and sunflower bloom of southern France.
Hike the hilltop vineyards of Hermitage—where a wine tasting with a
view is your reward. Bring the whole family on select
Generations Collection departures.

Combine one, two, or all three of our French river cruises for a longer
voyage that offers a fuller picture of this multifaceted destination.
Extensions in Paris, Biarritz Basque Country, Cassis, and Greece
bring deeper immersion by adding stays at five-star
hotels before or after your cruise.
