Fly from Dublin to Paris and transfer to the Scenic Gem, your elegant floating hotel for the week ahead. Settle into your Standard Suite, complete with a daily restocked minibar and panoramic river views. This evening, enjoy your welcome dinner as the ship begins its gentle cruise along the iconic Seine River.
Sail to Conflans, the gateway to medieval France. Explore this charming town where the Oise meets the Seine or join an excursion to Auvers-sur-Oise, where Van Gogh spent his final days. Stroll through picturesque streets, admire art galleries, and soak up the tranquil atmosphere of the French countryside.
Arrive in Rouen, Normandy’s historic capital. Known for its Gothic architecture and ties to Joan of Arc, Rouen is a city steeped in history and charm. Enjoy a guided walking tour of its cobblestone lanes, cathedral, and market squares, followed by free time to explore at your leisure.
Today’s destination is Honfleur, a picturesque port town celebrated by Impressionist painters. Wander through its charming harbour, admire pastel-coloured houses, and visit local boutiques. Optional excursions may include a trip to the D-Day landing beaches or a culinary tour sampling Normandy’s famous cider and cheese.
Sail to Caudebec-en-Caux, where lush landscapes and historic treasures await. Take an excursion to the Abbeys Trail or discover the quiet beauty of Normandy’s villages. Back onboard, relax with a drink on deck as the Scenic Gem glides past rolling green hills and riverside châteaux.
