Christmas Splendor Across Normandy
About This Cruise
Spend Christmas Eve in Rouen!
The Christmas river cruise begins in Paris, the City of Light. Illuminated boulevards, festive markets, and the glittering Eiffel Tower create a magical start to the journey.
The first stop is Conflans, a small town on the Seine once beloved by artists and sailors. Its narrow streets and proximity to historic abbeys and castles make it a charming excursion.
Next comes Vernon, gateway to Monet’s gardens in Giverny. Even in winter, the half-timbered houses and riverside views give the town a fairy-tale atmosphere.
Christmas Eve is celebrated in Rouen, a highlight of the cruise. The majestic cathedral, medieval streets, and festive decorations create a unique setting. Guests enjoy a gala dinner on board and may join midnight mass in this historic city, making Christmas Eve unforgettable.
On Christmas Day, the ship calls at Les Andelys, a picturesque village overlooked by the ruins of Château Gaillard, built by Richard the Lionheart. In winter, the scene has a mystical charm.
Finally, the cruise returns to Paris, where a last stroll along the Seine or through festive boulevards concludes a journey filled with culture, history, and Christmas magic.
Look forward to your included VIVA Signature excursion – Conflans: Château Chantilly
