At CroisiEurope, we offer a variety of experiences along the Seine.


Whether you choose a short city break in Paris, the capital of love, or a longer, history-filled journey that takes you to Rouen and Normandy, the Seine has many facets to delight both the curious and the leisurely traveler.


Most cruises begin in Paris, giving you the chance to explore the capital's iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Sacré-Cœur, and Notre-Dame de Paris, which has recently reopened to visitors. This legendary cathedral has inspired countless artists and writers over the centuries, from Victor Hugo to Pablo Picasso and Edith Piaf. For a truly magical experience, enjoy a cruise along the river at sunset, when the City of Light is at its most enchanting, a moment suspended in time that only a river cruise can offer.


Beyond Paris, our itineraries take you to Rouen, with its medieval quarter and connections to Joan of Arc, and to Honfleur, renowned for its charming port and vibrant art scene. Nature and art lovers will also cherish a visit to Giverny, home to Claude Monet’s gardens, where you can immerse yourself in the Impressionist world that inspired his most famous works. For those wishing to extend their journey, we offer cruises to the landing beaches of Normandy, a region rich in history, where memory, stunning seascapes, and quaint coastal villages come together.


These stops offer a unique combination of history, romance, and a relaxed way of life, perfect for couples who appreciate art, history, and French gastronomy.

In Venice itself, every walk becomes a magical experience: get lost in the winding streets, cross charming little bridges, watch the sunset from the Grand Canal, or enjoy a coffee in a quiet square. The city truly seems made for lovers.

This program offers a closer, more intense, and deeply human way to discover the Mekong.
