Paris: The City of Lights from a Unique Perspective
A Seine River cruise often begins or ends in the captivating city of Paris, offering an unparalleled way to experience its romance and grandeur
Iconic Landmarks by Water
Imagine sharing a kiss as the Eiffel Tower sparkles against the night sky, viewed from the deck of your ship. Cruise past Notre Dame Cathedral (rebuilding beautifully), the Louvre Museum, and the Musée d'Orsay, all illuminated and breathtaking from this unique vantage point.
Quaint Bridges and Passageways
The Seine is crossed by numerous elegant bridges, each with its own story. Pass under the Pont des Arts, once adorned with "love locks," and soak in the romantic atmosphere that permeates the city.
Evening Ambiance
As dusk settles, the Seine transforms into a magical waterway. Many cruises offer evening sails with dinner and music, creating the perfect setting for romance to blossom.
