From Paris to Rouen, Le Havre, Caudebec-en-Caux, Les Andelys, Vernon and Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris.
The Eiffel Tower, the way of life or the art? You could argue for hours about what it is that makes Paris so special. But one thing everyone agrees on is that Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. And when seen from the water, it’s even more beautiful. The banks of the Seine, the river’s many bridges and all the little stories about them are incredibly romantic. The Seine seems to have adopted the Parisians’ laissez-faire attitude to life as it gently flows towards Normandy. The landscape here – which was named after the “men of the North”, the Vikings, who landed here around 1,200 years ago – is extremely pretty. Blossoming meadows and dense forests guide the river towards Rouen, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. The many artefacts documenting the 2,000-year history of this city are highly interesting. It’s easy to see why Normandy has been depicted in so many works of art. You too will reach for your camera more often than usual, regardless of whether you visit Claude Monet’s magical garden or the gorgeous Château Bizy, also known as “Little Versailles”. And everywhere you go, you’re tempted by culinary delights. In France, cheese is revered. Sample as much of it as you can, and find out why.
You don’t just visit Paris – you soak up the atmosphere. Splendid sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe will captivate you, while twilight walks through the Marais and Montmartre are sure to inspire you. This is a place where time seems to stand still as you take in the city’s grand monuments.
Le Havre is where the Seine meets the sea – quite literally, since the area between Le Havre and Honfleur, on the other side of the Seine, is where you’ll find not only the Pont de Normandie bridge but also the final stretch of the Seine before it flows into the English Channel. The modern city of Le Havre was granted UNESCO World Heritage status for its completely reconstructed city centre, which was rebuilt after the war. One of its only remaining buildings from the Middle Ages is the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is a must-see.
Today, visitors to this small town are enchanted by the restaurants and cafes on the river’s promenade, from where you can watch the comings and goings on the Seine. The main attraction is the Notre Dame church, which shows what stonemasons in the Middle Ages were able to build out of sandstone. There are plenty of interesting excursion options here. Honfleur, an idyllic fishing town, has gorgeous little lanes and a picturesque old port quarter that has hardly changed since the 17th century. Even back then, the Seine functioned as France’s lifeline to culture and education.
Off we go, along the Seine. Your cruise will start in Paris and explore northern France. A wealth of cities, towns and landscapes awaits you. You’ll also have the opportunity to get acquainted with the French joie de vivre, of course. And Paris? You’ll be right at the heart of the action – perfect for discovering the beauty of this city. Welcome aboard!
You quickly lose track of time in Normandy’s capital. But you’re reminded of it again by the 600-year-old ‘Big Clock’. This is one of the world’s oldest astronomical clocks and has just one hand – for the hour.

This stop on your Seine cruise will bring you to the port of Le Havre. A city in Normandy, north-western France, it is situated right at the mouth of the Seine. The historic centre, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just one of Le Havre’s many attractions.

The small town is situated in one of the greenest regions of France. Here, you will also find flower-filled gardens that invite you to linger. In the town centre, historic buildings such as the church of Notre Dame or the Templar House reflect the history of Caudebec.
The pleasant, tranquil little town of Les Andelys occupies an idyllic spot surrounded by nature on the bank of the Seine. It is known for its castle, Château Gaillard. Although it is nothing more than a vast ruin nowadays, it’s easy to imagine Richard the Lionheart keeping watch here for the advance of the enemy – the French – through the Seine valley.
Today will probably be one of the highlights of your Seine cruise: you’ll have the opportunity to visit Claude Monet’s house and garden in Giverny. It is a magnet for art and culture lovers and those of a romantic inclination – and rightly so. The lush garden looks like a meadow of flowers straight out of an impressionist painting. The highlight is the enchanting lily pond, the subject of one of the world’s most valuable paintings. And you’ll be able to admire it up close – what a view!

This is a place where history was made. Henry IV of France wooed his mistress Gabrielle d’Estrées here, and from then on Mantes became Mantes-la-Jolie – ‘Mantes the beautiful’. Located just 50 kilometres from Paris, the city lies directly on the bank of the Seine. Now you’ll have the opportunity to discover it for yourself during your Seine river cruise.
