Customize your trip

With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two vacations to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the Grand Circle Cruise Line River Cruise that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements directly with the airline, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • International airport transfers to and from your ship or hotel are available for purchase
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your vacation
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your vacation with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of Grand Circle Cruise Line vacations to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

The air options listed above will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle/Sir Edmund Hillary Club members.

Or, when you make your reservation, you can choose our standard air routing, for which approximate travel times are shown below.

Pre-Trip: Paris, France
3 nights from only $695
G29370

Often referred to as the "City of Lights," the French capital is one of Europe's most stunning and influential metropolitan centers. With renowned landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Champs-Elysées, Arc de Triomphe, and Basilica of the Sacre Coeur, as well as world-famous art museums—including the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and Musee National d'Art Moderne—the scale of its historic and cultural influence remains unmatched. And when you combine that with the romance, style, and "je ne sais quoi" that define all things Parisian, it's no wonder this city has long been one of the world's leading travel destinations.

Single Supplement: FREE.

Please note: This extension only available on select departures. Ask your Travel Counselor for details.

Post-Trip: Nice, France
3 nights from only $645
G19831

Elegant hotels, fashionable seaside promenades, an opulent casino, and famous sunny beaches—Nice more than merits her title as the grande dame of the Cote d'Azur. Extend your trip and stroll the ancient lanes of this city, where the French Riviera phenomenon began more than a century ago as European aristocrats made this beautiful coastal city their favorite warm-weather escape. Later, artists like Dufy and Matisse captured the city's magic in their paintings, and writers and musicians came here for inspiration and beauty. Now you can see the colors of Nice, colors that many artists have claimed are more vibrant than anywhere else in the world.

Single Supplement: FREE.
