Normandy's Winter Wonderland
About This Cruise
Look forward to your included VIVA Signature Excursion—Paris: To Montmartre in a Citroën
Spend the most festive time of the year in particularly stylish fashion—aboard an exclusive cruise from Paris through the wintry landscape of the Seine. For six nights, the ship will be your cozy home on the water, while outside, the northern French riverbanks transform into a glittering winter wonderland.
Paris welcomes you with the festive glow of the holidays: artfully decorated boulevards, sparkling storefronts, and the scent of roasted chestnuts set the mood for the days ahead. From here, the ship glides at a leisurely pace toward Normandy—a feast for the senses, accompanied by fine cuisine, festive music, and the warm glow on board.
In Poissy, the charming atmosphere of a small town awaits you, with its Gothic church and historic old town. Vernon enchants with its romantic half-timbered architecture and Claude Monet’s famous house in nearby Giverny—a place of quiet beauty even in winter. Rouen, the proud city of a hundred church towers, sparkles during the Christmas season with a particularly festive market in front of the cathedral and winding alleyways steeped in history. In Les Andelys, the panoramic view of the imposing Château Gaillard castle ruins unfolds before you—especially impressive on frosty, clear days.
Back in Paris, you’ll celebrate Christmas Eve amidst the winter magic of this unique city. Enjoy a festive gala dinner, lights reflecting on the water, and a quiet, elegant night that will remain etched in your memory.
This Christmas journey combines the French way of life, historic settings, and contemplative moments—a cruise full of warmth, relaxation, and Christmas splendor.
