Trip at a Glance

On this European River Cruise, see the lovely landscapes and charming villages that inspired the great Impressionist artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Begin your European trip in romantic Paris, the "City of Light", where you’ll explore the monuments, churches, and buildings that are familiar to you from film and photographs. Continue your odyssey with a river cruise through the heartland of France aboard the award-winning M/S Bizet. Admire the passing scenery of thick forests, fertile pastures, and apple orchards, and explore culture-rich villages along the way. You also travel to the famous Normandy beaches, visit the World War II Peace Memorial Museum, and pause at the somber field that is the American Military Cemetery. This is an in-depth exploration of one of the richest regions of France.
