Cruise the Saone and Rhone Rivers to see beautiful vineyards and other scenic vistas in the French countryside. Explore the famed region of Burgundy and the lavender-scented hills of Provence. Destinations include UNESCO World Heritage Sites, early Roman ruins in Vienne and Arles, and the Papal Palace in Avignon, City of the Popes. Walk the cobbled streets of Arles that inspired Vincent Van Gogh, learn about wine-making traditions, and sample the famed cuisine of Lyon.
The lavender-scented hills of Provence delight the senses. Burgundy & Provence is an 8-day/7-night cruise. Sail aboard a ship designed for taking in the picturesque riverside landscapes, whether through the many panoramic windows, from the sun deck, or from the comfort of your private, river-view outside cabin. Our onboard meals, prepared by European chefs, include a choice of entrees, regional specialties and traditional favorites.
Our English-speaking guides will take you to famous landmarks as well as hidden gems. You'll enjoy French wine tastings in Beaune and Tournon. See magnificent cathedrals; walk the winding streets of Lyon and Vienne; and discover the Gallo-Roman ruins of Arles.
