French River Cruises
. These "Floating Hotels"
cruise by beautiful cities, villages, castles and vineyards.
On the Rhone, ships
sail round-trip from Lyon, France to the Burgundy and Beaujolais
wine regions and the Mediterranean style cities of Avignon
and Arles as well as one-way between Lyon and Avignon. on the Seine, enjoy the charm of small towns such as Les Andelys and admire the impressive chalk cliffs of the Channel Coast. Take a stroll through the small seaside and artist town of Honfleur and marvel at the beauty of Monets Garden in Giverny.
River cruises in comparison
to barge cruises are different in that they cruise the rivers of Europe
rather than the small canals. The ships are larger and hold from 80
to 200+ passengers. You will often find a swimming pool, beauty
salon, gift shop, dancing and entertainment on board where you will not on
the barge cruises.
In contrast, where the
smaller barges include shore excursions, have bicycles for guests and
often have open bar, the river cruises do not have an open bar policy,
bicycles, and most do not include shore excursions.
