French Rivers with Normandy & Bordeaux - 28 August 2025
Highlights:
Enjoy scenic cruising of the Seine en route to Rouen and Bordeaux
Experience Parisian daily life on a tour to the capital, from Rouen
Visit the iconic tidal abbey of Mont St. Michel
The benefits of Balmoral’s smaller size come to the fore on his cruise, as we dock in the riverside cities of Rouen and Bordeaux, a feat only possible on smaller ships. Enjoy the views as we glide along the scenic River Seine, flanked by picturesque countryside and quaint villages, and discover the allure of Honfleur’s pretty harbour. Rouen is your gateway to the French capital, inviting you to embrace Parisian culture such as art, fashion, cafés and boulangeries. Meanwhile, Bordeaux — a haven for wine enthusiasts, and Honfleur — offering local delights like calvados and camembert, promise culinary delights. Uncover medieval history in every corner, from half-timbered houses to the iconic Mont Saint-Michel.
