Along its verdant banks stand soaring Gothic cathedrals, traditional family farmsteads, stately manors, the craggy ruins of medieval castles, and Paris, the city that for centuries has embodied the hopes and dreams of mankind. Explore the cultural treasures and savor the tranquil beauty of the Seine River while enjoying comfortable accommodations aboard the M.V. C EZANNE , specially designed to navigate the waterways of France. Cruise through the wooded, rolling countryside of northern France, relax aboard the ship and enjoy the finest in Continental cuisine, expertly prepared by a master chef. Among the many features of this program is the unique VILLAGE FORUM , where you will hear local perspectives and insights into life along the Seine River. To further your appreciation for the traditions and history of the Seine River, this program also includes a custom-designed series of lectures, cultural enhancements and exclusive guided tours of the region’s great historical landmarks. By special arrangement, you will tour a local market, savor the regional foods of Normandy, and attend presentations about French cuisine, folklore, history and contemporary social and cultural issues.
