A Classic Journey, Season by Season.
From the lively energy of summer to the golden calm of fall and the fresh renewal of spring, the Rhine and the Seine reveal a different kind of romance in every season. Depending on when you sail, you can enjoy Paris in Bloom on Île Saint Louis, spring strawberry picking and jam making, summer brewery tours and tastings, the mesmerizing light show at Rouen Cathedral, fall visits to historic vineyards or a cozy apple harvest with fresh cider tastings. Changing light, riverside scenery, and a more relaxed pace bring fresh perspectives to the City of Light, Normandy’s historic shores and the Rhine’s legendary scenery. It’s the same iconic route – beautifully shaped by the season in which you experience it.
