Seine River
aboard the M.V. CEZANNE
We are pleased to sponsor River Life along the Seine, a unique travel opportunity that captures the essence of life in northern France’s Seine River Valley. This, one of the highly successful and innovative travel programs in the Village Life series, is ideal for exploring the region’s long and fascinating history, deep-rooted culture, and exceptional artistic and architectural legacies.
For countless centuries the Seine River has served as the principal cultural and commercial artery of northern France — ideas, trade and armies have traveled the length of its fertile valley, the cradle of French civilization. Along its verdant banks stand soaring Gothic cathedrals, traditional family farmsteads, stately manors, the craggy ruins of medieval castles, and Paris, the city that for centuries has embodied the hopes and dreams of mankind. You will explore the cultural treasures and savor the tranquil beauty of the Seine River while enjoying comfortable accommodations aboard the M.V. CEZANNE, specially designed to navigate the waterways of France. Cruise through the wooded, rolling countryside of northern France, relax aboard the ship and enjoy the finest in Continental cuisine, expertly prepared by a master chef.
Among the many included features of this program is the unique Village Forum, where local residents share their perspectives and insights into life along the Seine River. To further your appreciation for the traditions and history of the Seine River, this program also features a custom-designed series of lectures, cultural enhancements and exclusive guided tours of the region’s great historical landmarks. By special arrangement, you will tour a local market, savor the regional foods of Normandy, and attend presentations about French cuisine, folklore, history and contemporary social and cultural issues.
An exceptional value that includes accommodations, all meals and excursions – complemented by the convenience of unpacking only once – combine with a fascinating destination to create a truly enticing travel program. It promises to sell out quickly, so we encourage you to make your reservation today!
