France River Cruises

Seeing France by river cruise ship is a completely different experience than seeing it by roadway or train. Whether you're drifting through the French wine regions of Burgundy or Bordeaux, sailing the Seine from Paris north to Normandy, taking a leisurely waterborne path through Provence, or perhaps taking a barge through backcountry canals and waterways, river cruises promise an intimate introduction to the villages and cities of France. You can choose among a number of cruise lines and companies as well, offering a variety of levels of luxury and pricing.

Images of the Seine (By Eurostar) by Travelsphere

A knowledgeable, interesting and friendly local guide

Travelsphere never let us down. Over the past 15 or so years we have travelled with them 8 or 9 times, on short breaks to Paris and Germany, and longer ones to Canada, Italy and America. Our latest was last weekend on the "Experience Riga" trip....it was wonderful, we had a terrific Tour Manager in Gerry, a knowledgeable, interesting and friendly local guide in Gita and they ensured that our trip to this fantastic city was a triumph. I want to go back there as soon as possible!

Romance of the Rhine & Mosel by Grand Circle Cruise Line

The most amazing river trip in Europe

Traveling from Belgium through 6 countries to Switzerland is one of the most amazing travel experiences in Europe, especially if traveling with Grand Circle Travel. The ship's crew and staff are the most professional and personable folks that I've ever had the fortune to travel with. Not only have I traveled European rivers with these folks once, but have done so several times. For a single traveler, traveling with Grand Circle is a great bargain, as there is very seldom an extra charge for traveling solo and if their is, the price is very modest. You can't go wrong with these folks.
