The cruise begins in Paris, the city of love and gastronomy. From buttery croissants and café au lait in the morning to refined pastries and haute cuisine, Paris offers culinary delights at every corner.

In Les Andelys, a picturesque town dominated by Château Gaillard, guests enjoy regional specialties such as Normandy cheeses and apple cider.

Rouen, the city of a hundred spires, offers bustling markets with Camembert, Livarot, fresh fish, and apple tarts paired with a glass of Calvados.

The journey continues to Caudebec, where travelers can savor mussels, hearty meat dishes, and crisp local wines.

In Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, maritime flavors take center stage: oysters, scallops, and fish soup highlight the region’s connection to the sea.

Vernon brings travelers closer to Monet’s Giverny, where markets brim with honey, cider, and freshly baked bread.

Back in Paris, the journey ends with a gourmet dinner on the Seine, perhaps aboard a Bateau Mouche under the shimmering lights of the Eiffel Tower. A cruise celebrating art, history, and French culinary excellence.

Look forward to your included VIVA Signature excursion – Les Andelys: Château Gaillard & farm Visit

Itinerary

day 1 | Paris

Paris is still probably the greatest place of longing for travelers from all over the world. And quite rightly so, as no other city in the world is such an epitome of love, seduction, art, culture and cuisine. Paris is the city for the finer things in life. This begins with the beauty of the French capital. The best way to experience it is from the panoramic terraces of the Eiffel Tower or the Montmartre hill. The city on the Seine offers so many beautiful perspectives that you won't be able to decide which way to point your camera first. But even up close, the beauty of the city's sights is hard to beat. The ornate Notre-Dame Cathedral; the mighty Arc de Triomphe; the sprawling Louvre; the magnificent Jardin des Tuileries; the magnificent Opéra Garnier and the impressive Place de la Concorde are just the tip of the iceberg of sights you can marvel at in Paris.

day 2 | Les Andelys

Les Andelys is a commune in France, located in the Normandy region. The city is divided into a large and small part (Le Petit Andely and Le Grand Andely). At the same time, the small part is located directly on the Seine River. The northern character of the country is also reflected in the architecture of the municipality. This can be seen, for example, in the 13th century Notre-Dame Cathedral. The amusement park Tolysland is popular with young and old.

day 2-3 | Rouen

The city of Rouen is the historic capital of Normandy and is best known for Joan of Arc. In the museum "Joan of Arc" you can find an insight into her life and her tragic death in Rouen. Also worth seeing are the botanical garden, the cathedral "Notre Dame" and the monastery "Saint-Georges de Boscherville". Very popular is also a visit to the clock tower in the charming downtown area of the town.

day 3 | Caudebec-en-Caux

The idyllically situated village of Caudebec-en-Caux has some historically interesting buildings to offer, such as the 12th century house of the Knights Templar and is characterized by a very charming atmosphere. The church of the town with its very artistic stained glass windows is also a worthwhile destination, which impresses with its extraordinary architecture and should definitely be visited during a visit to Caudebec. Outside the city, a huge aircraft monument commemorates the flying boat Latham 47.

day 4-5 | Le Havre

With more than 170.000 inhabitants, Le Havre is the busiest city in Normandy. Located directly on the English Channel, the metropolis is located in the northwest of France. Thanks to the work of the architect Auguste Perret, the city center was created due to its uniquegen architecture designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. In the heart of the city is located with the Church of St.-Joseph An imposing structure with several thousand incorporated glass blocks. Impressive is also the city hall of Le Havre with a more than 70 meters high tower. In all of Europe there is no larger town hall square than in this French city.

Le Havre, founded by King Francis I of France in 1517, is located inUpper Normandy on the north bank of the mouth of the River Seine, which isconsidered the most frequented waterway in the world. Its port is ranked thesecond largest in France. The city was originally built on marshland andmudflats that were drained in the 1500’s. During WWII most of Le Havre wasdestroyed by Allied bombing raids. Post war rebuilding of the city followed thedevelopment plans of the well-known Belgian architect Auguste Perre. Thereconstruction was so unique that the entire city was listed as a UNESCO WorldHeritage Site in 2005. 


day 6 | Vernon

Midway between Paris and Rouen lies Vernon. Unnumerous half-timbered houses characterize the townscape. The most famous shows up during a walk across the Pont Clémenceau: the Old mill, gracefully perched on the remains of a medieval bridge. Already Claude Monet was so fascinated by Vernon's sight that he banned him on canvas. But that's not all: For more than 40 years, the artist lived nearby in a house, which he surrounded with a magnificent garden. What Monet once inspired world-famous works, is today a paradise for flower lovers and recreationists
