Active & Discovery On The Seine (Northbound)
River Cruise
Our wide array of Classic, Discovery, and Active excursions puts you in the driver’s seat of your vacation – whether that’s a bicycle seat, kayak seat, or a front row seat at a culinary or cocktail workshop where you’ll learn hands-on how to master the delightful delicacies this gastronomic country is known for. This is your tour de France. No matter how you choose to journey through it, monumental discoveries and moving experiences await at every turn.
Move.
Enjoy a little get-up-and-go on your cruising vacation when you:
•Say "oui" and "whee" on a bicycle tour through the heart of Paris.
•Paddle a kayak past the timbered houses, 12th century castles and gothic church of charming Vernon.
•Hop on an E-bike for a leisurely tour of the impressive Chateau de Maisons-Lafitte.
And be moved.
Get off the beaten path and relish the world when you:
•Whip up sweet Chantilly cream with the culinary experts at the even sweeter Chantilly Castle.
•Stop and smell the roses as you stroll through the home and gardens of master impressionist Claude Monet.
•Shake it up at a Benedictine cocktail workshop at the palace where the world-famous liqueur is made.
Plus, Classic sightseeing is always available in every port along the way.
Activate your senses and discover a world of wonder in all-new, entirely "you" ways on your personal, passion-packed cruise along the Seine.

We’ve Spent Nearly a Century Planning your Vacation.
When you select a Avalon vacation, you’re choosing experience, passion, and perfection. Our dedication began almost a century ago when a young Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories of his home while using his family’s rowboat to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland. He soon began transporting tourists instead, and what began on a spring day in 1928 blossomed into the worldwide name in travel.
