Seine In A Blaze Of Light
About This Cruise
When Paris is aglow with the lights of the pre-Christmas season, a journey filled with festive moments and winter romance begins. On this 5-night cruise, you’ll experience the magic of Advent along the Seine—from the cosmopolitan city of Paris to the atmospheric historic towns of Normandy.
The journey begins in Paris, where sparkling boulevards, fragrant pastry shops, and festively decorated storefronts set the Christmas mood. After your first night on board, you’ll travel upriver to Les Andelys, a charming little town with medieval charm, dominated by the imposing ruins of Château Gaillard. Strolls along the riverbank or through the narrow alleys let you experience winter at its most beautiful.
The journey continues to Rouen, the historic capital of Normandy. Half-timbered houses, Gothic churches, and one of France’s most beautiful Christmas markets make this city a true highlight of your trip. Let yourself be enchanted by mulled wine, handicrafts, and French winter cuisine.
In Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, where the Seine and Oise rivers meet, you’ll experience authentic French small-town life during the Advent season. The town is a quiet retreat—ideal for reflecting on the memories of your journey.
The journey concludes once again in Paris—festive, elegant, and full of magic. Perhaps you’ll discover the perfect Christmas gift at Galeries Lafayette or enjoy one last view of the Eiffel Tower bathed in winter light.
This cruise combines picturesque landscapes with cultural richness and the unique atmosphere of French Christmas traditions—a travel experience that warms the heart and the senses.
Look forward to your included VIVA Signature Excursion—Paris: To Montmartre in a Citroën
