Trip Summary

Roundtrip Paris Along the Scenic Seine

Sail roundtrip from Paris on an 8-day journey along the Seine River, where romance, art, and history unfold at every bend. This itinerary blends iconic Parisian landmarks with the timeless countryside of Normandy.

From Monet's Gardens in Giverny to the solemn D-Day beaches, the dramatic ruins of Château Gaillard to the medieval streets of Rouen — this is one of the most culturally rich river cruises in Europe.

Day by Day

Your Itinerary

DAY 1
Paris, France Embarkation

Arrive in the City of Light and board your Viking river ship docked along the Seine. Settle into your stateroom and enjoy your first evening with a welcome dinner as Paris glitters outside your window.

DAY 2
Vernon & Giverny Impressionist Art

Visit the charming riverside town of Vernon before travelling to Giverny to explore Monet's House and the legendary water gardens that inspired his Impressionist masterpieces — including the iconic Water Lilies series.

DAY 3
Rouen, France Medieval History

Discover Rouen's atmospheric medieval streets, half-timbered houses, and the magnificent Gothic cathedral that Monet painted over 30 times. Learn the story of Joan of Arc and explore this vibrant Norman capital.

DAY 4
Normandy Beaches D-Day History

A profoundly moving day exploring the historic D-Day landing sites of June 6, 1944. Visit memorials, cemeteries, and the coastal landmarks at Omaha and Utah Beaches that changed the course of World War II.

DAY 5
Rouen, France Optional Excursions

Additional time in Rouen with optional excursions to local markets, the Rouen Fine Arts Museum, or the surrounding Norman countryside. Alternatively, relax onboard and enjoy the scenery as you continue cruising the Seine.

DAY 6
Les Andelys Château Gaillard

Explore this picturesque riverside town and admire the dramatic hilltop ruins of Château Gaillard — the fortress built by Richard the Lionheart in 1196, overlooking a sweeping bend in the Seine Valley far below.

DAY 7
Paris, France Return to Paris

Return to Paris for a full day of guided sightseeing or independent exploration — the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Montmartre, or simply a long afternoon at a riverfront café watching the city go by.

DAY 8
Paris, France Disembarkation

After breakfast, conclude your Seine journey in Paris. Continue your travels in France or connect home — or ask Paulo about extending your stay with a post-cruise Paris hotel package.
