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 canoe 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 Château de Maisons-Lafitte.

And be moved.

The cruise begins on June 9 and ends on June 16 when we check into a Paris hotel for a 1 night stay.  

This river cruise starts on a Tuesday, and it is anticipated that most people will want to leave to fly to Paris on Saturday and arrive on Sunday.  Thus, for those clients interested, we have 30 rooms on a temporary hold (more can be requested but availability and pricing can change).  

Here is the pricing for Paris pre-nights.

Paris June 7 & 8: 

$330 per person per night twin occupancy 

$485 per night single occupancy

If anyone is interested in staying an extra night in Paris after the 1 night stay, here is the price for an additional night. The night of June 16th night is already included in the cruise package fare, so this is for the nights of the 17th and the 17th and 18th (pricing and availability can change until booked).  

Paris June 17 & 18: 

$490 per person per night twin occupancy 

$760 per night single occupancy
