  • Day 1

    Paris Embarkation

    Board your river ship in Paris by 5 PM. After settling into your cabin, attend a briefing about your 8-day Seine River journey. The ship sets sail at 9 PM. Make sure to head up to the deck to see Paris lit up at night as you begin your voyage to Normandy.

    
  • Day 2

    Rouen Exploration (20 km cycling)

    Arrive in Rouen, Normandy's medieval capital. Start with an easy bike ride to a scenic viewpoint before walking through the historic center. If you're visiting between June and September, walk 15 minutes from the ship to see the cathedral's free summer light show after dinner.

    
  • Day 3

    Jumièges Abbey Route (45 km cycling)

    Cycle the "Route of Romanesque Monasteries" along peaceful Seine river bends. Bring water and snacks to enjoy lunch at the impressive 11th-century Jumièges Abbey ruins. The e-bikes help with the rolling terrain but wearing padded cycling shorts will make longer rides more comfortable.

    
  • Day 4

    Étretat & Alabaster Coast (50 km cycling)

    Take a transfer to the stunning white cliffs of the Côte d'Albâtre. Walk the cliff path at Étretat to photograph the unique rock formations. In the afternoon, bike through traditional Norman villages before meeting your ship in Caudebec-en-Caux.

    
  • Day 5

    Les Andelys to Vernon (46 km cycling)

    Start at the ruins of Richard the Lionheart's castle above Les Andelys. After a tour, cycle to Giverny to explore Monet's gardens. A previous visitor shared: "Visiting in late spring was perfect - the water lilies were in full bloom and the crowds hadn't arrived yet. Go early to avoid tour buses."

    
  • Day 6

    Scenic Seine Cruising

    Take a break from cycling as you cruise back toward Paris through Ile de France. Attend onboard cultural talks and enjoy watching the countryside from the top deck.

    
  • Day 7

    Paris by Bike (28 km cycling)

    See a quieter side of Paris by e-bike along Canal St. Martin and the Seine's car-free paths. Visit the Orangerie Museum's water lilies collection and have lunch near Place de la Concorde. Finish your ride at the Rodin Museum's gardens before your final dinner onboard.

    
  • Day 8

    Paris Departure

    Leave the ship after breakfast. If staying longer, look for hotels in the Marais area. You'll be close to major attractions with plenty of local cafes and shops nearby.
