New Year on the Seine

About This Cruise

Say farewell to the old year and welcome the new one on a festive New Year’s cruise along the Seine. This special river journey combines the winter landscapes of Normandy with an extended stay in Paris, creating a memorable setting for the turn of the year. Historic towns, relaxing hours on the river and the festive atmosphere of the French capital make the days between Christmas and New Year a wonderful time to travel.

Your cruise begins in Paris on 27 December. In the afternoon, the ship sets sail and follows the Seine through the peaceful winter scenery towards Normandy. The following morning, you arrive in Les Andelys. This picturesque riverside town is framed by rolling hills and striking chalk cliffs, while the ruins of Château Gaillard, the medieval fortress associated with Richard the Lionheart, rise high above the Seine. The journey then continues to Rouen, Normandy’s historic capital. Half-timbered houses, winding streets and the magnificent Notre-Dame Cathedral give the city its distinctive character. A generous stay provides time to explore its fascinating history and atmospheric old town at a relaxed pace.

On the return journey towards Paris, the ship calls at Conflans. Situated at the confluence of the Oise and Seine, the town has a long tradition of inland navigation. That same evening, you arrive back in Paris, perfectly timed for the highlight of this festive cruise.

The whole of New Year’s Eve is spent in the French capital. With its iconic monuments, elegant boulevards and illuminated streets, Paris provides an unforgettable backdrop for the final day of the year. As midnight approaches, the special atmosphere of the city makes welcoming the New Year a truly memorable occasion. You also remain in Paris on New Year’s Day and the following day, giving you plenty of time to start the year at a leisurely pace and discover more of this fascinating metropolis. Combining Normandy’s heritage and the beauty of the Seine Valley with a festive New Year in Paris, this cruise is a stylish way to begin the year.

Itinerary

France

Paris

To this day, Paris remains perhaps the most sought-after destination for travelers from all over the world. And quite rightly so, since no other city in the world so perfectly embodies love, seduction, art, culture, and cuisine. Paris is the city of life’s finer things. It all starts with the beauty of the French capital itself, which is best experienced from the observation decks of the Eiffel Tower or the hill of Montmartre. The city on the Seine offers so many beautiful views that it’s hard to decide which direction to point your camera first. But even up close, the city’s landmarks are hard to beat in terms of beauty. The ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral; the imposing Arc de Triomphe; the sprawling Louvre; the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries; the opulent Opéra Garnier; and the impressive Place de la Concorde are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the sights you can marvel at in Paris.

France

Les Andelys

Les Andelys is a municipality in France located in the Normandy region. The town is divided into a larger and a smaller part (Le Petit Andely and Le Grand Andely). The smaller part lies directly on the Seine. The region’s northern character is also reflected in the town’s architecture. This is evident, for example, in the 13th-century Notre-Dame Cathedral. The Tolysland amusement park is popular with visitors of all ages.

France

Rouen

The city of Rouen is the historic capital of Normandy and is best known for Joan of Arc. In the museum "Joan of Arc" you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical garden, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". Very popular is also a visit to the clock tower in the charming downtown area of the town.
