"Paris Toujours is a top notch travel agency for France! Highly recommended! They listened to what we wanted to do traveling with three young adult kids with different interests and were able to plan a great mix of tours, museums, and strolls as well as enough free time. Every detail was taken care of and perfectly executed. I highly recommend a private boat tour of the Seine with a fabulous French meal of wine, cheese, bread etc. You will be in good hands with Paris Toujours!"

What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying

"Sad to see a once good tour company stumble and fall into mediocrity. That’s Tauck post-Covid. My May 2023 tour of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley was done on the cheap by Tauck, yet cost me thousands of dollars extra as a solo traveler on a special small-group tour. 

5-star hotels switched to 3 and 4 (without any compensation or explanation)… many more meals “on your own”… lots of “self-guided” tours of museums and chateaux and castles we knew nothing about… airline quality “rubber chicken” dinners, not in hotel restaurants, but in sad and isolated business convention spaces… poorly-trained newer Tour Directors (like the one on this tour) with limited experience traveling outside her tiny Canadian village or dealing with people from diverse backgrounds. She even confessed that this was a second gig job that took her away from her own business back home! You get what Tauck pays for, but unfortunately, not what YOU pay for. 

Speaking to a “Guest Relations” agent was comically pointless. She tried to make everything my fault, which I now understand is par for the course with the “new” post-Covid Tauck. Please reconsider spending huge amounts of your hard-earned money on a tour company that has lost its way and no longer delivers."

Seine River Tour Selection Trips

  • May through September is the most popular (and expensive) season on the Seine (September often offers the most pleasant weather with fewer crowds).
  • CroisiEurope, a French-based river cruise line, is now marketing to North Americans with English-speaking crews, so for a complete French experience, check out their offerings.
  • To judge the best value as opposed to just the lowest price, watch for how many “extras” are included in the base rate – port excursions, alcohol, balcony cabins, airport transfers in Paris -- that could add to the cost.
  • For maximum privacy and comfort, consider splurging on a balcony cabin, where you can relax and watch the changing Seine riverside tableau pass by.
  • If you want a French wine country cruise, look farther south in France to rivers that run through Burgundy or Bordeaux.
  • Some cruise lines combine Seine cruises with voyages through the Burgundy wine country (the Saône and Rhône rivers), making for a two-week cruise with a connecting bus ride.

Additional details

You will find that many Seine river cruises are offered as day tours. If you are looking for a longer cruise, be sure to look at the itinerary carefully so you know what the itinerary entails.

Alternatively, many longer Seine cruises are included on longer trips - rather than existing as a stand alone cruise.

If you are planning to take a Seine river cruise in 2019, be sure to book early. Seine river cruises usually stop in Normandy, which is expected to be very busy during 2019 with visitors paying their respects and observing the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings during World War II. 

What is the weather like?

Seine River cruises are offered year round, and while the weather conditions are mostly predictable, you can expect the odd rainstorm any month of the year. So come prepared!

Weather along the Seine is generally very hot during the summer - with some relief from river breezes. In the winter, expect a chill in the air and maybe even a snow flurry or two.

As with many travel destinations around the world, the shoulder seasons are some of the most pleasant times to visit the Seine. Not just for the weather, but for the beautiful colors along the shore - fall oranges and reds, and bright spring greens and pinks.

Although winter cruises along the Seine hold a special charm as the European Christmas spirit permeates from small villages to the cities.
