Free coffee, tea, soft drinks, water
Free wine and beer with dinner
Pre-dinner “Sip and Sail”
Wi-Fi service
Bicycle use – limited number
Almost all shore excursions
Aries is considered one of the most beautiful cities in France.
Uncover Roman history of Aries or Chalon-Sur-Saône and
delight in charming Tournus with its towering Romanesque abbey
and historic apothecary shop.
Visit French châteaux from Burgundy to Provence, taste
your way through the French culinary capital of Lyon, and visit the
Papal Palace in Avignon. For sure you will explore much more than
simply a taste as the “essence” will definitely linger
for a very long time!
In addition to the amazing itinerary possibilities, special highlights
and advantages of this adventure, all will include professionally-trained
tour guides to accompany us throughout, local entertainment, music
performances, lectures, cooking demonstrations, and theme dinners.
~ Do You Need Travel Insurance? ~
One option is Trip Insurance.
There are other choices, but we offer
Travel Guard for informational purposes.
Plus, on-board a river cruise, and included in your cruise fare, are
pre-dinner “Sip & Sail” hours; wine, beer, &
soft drinks with lunch and dinner; Wi-Fi service; bottled water
(replenished daily); bicycle use; and almost all shore excursions.
You can start this trip by flying into Barcelona for the pre cruise
land package or fly into Marseille then transfer to Lyon for embarkation.
Then upon disembarkation on August 19th, you can catch a flight to embark
for our next river cruise from Bordeaux.
However, if you are not doing the second river cruise, you can do the
cruise line’s post package to Geneva.
Basically, we have two cruises planned for 2021 – you can
join us for one river cruise or two river cruises. Then with some cruises, you
can do either the pre or post stays, depending upon your cruise choices.
So please look at it all – tell us what you are thinking, and we
can set it up or explain further the options.
