On some itineraries, we offer extensions of a few days at the end of your cruise so you can continue to explore new places, soak up the local culture, taste traditional cuisine, explore and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the destination. For example, take part in a Tai Chi session in the heart of Along Bay, discover the Basque country from Espelette to Bayonne, or climb aboard the Rovos Rail, one of the world's most prestigious trains, for a 932 miles journey in South Africa.
In addition to post-cruise extensions, we also offer pre-cruise packages to enhance your travel experience. This is the perfect opportunity to live a complete and immersive experience from the very first day of your vacation.

It is a majestic river that winds its way through France from Paris to Honfleur and was a privileged witness to the flowering of Impressionism art.
