Rivers of Provence and Burgundy aboard PRINCESSE de PROVENCE

Our cruise aboard the 140-passenger Princesse de Provence leads us through the very heart of French culture on the Saone and Rhone rivers. Enjoy the romantic charm of the Provence and Burgundy regions, from their ancient cities to sun-drenched, vine-covered hills and old-world farmland. Each region boasts its own distinctive architecture, history and cuisine. Begin your cruise in Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France. Visit Avignon with its aw-inspiring Papal Palace. There will be time to sample the wines of the Beaujolais and Burgundy wine regions. Relax on deck as your river cruiser glides effortlessly past olive groves, vineyards and lavender-scented hills. This is truly a cruise to delight the senses and the intellect.
