Upon arriving in Paris, meet your knowledgable local tour guide. Your adventure starts with a walk around the majestic Eiffel Tower.

Marvel at the historic Louvre, home to world-renowned artworks, and the Musée d'Orsay, which boasts an extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces. The cruise will also take you by the grand Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Place de la Concorde. Enjoy this tranquil, comfortable, and convenient alternative to navigating the typically crowded city streets—especially during the Olympics, when Paris will be exceptionally bustling.

Relax on board as you witness the splendor of Paris from a unique vantage point. This public cruise includes audio guides that provide commentary on the landmarks you'll see, enriching your experience of the city’s rich history.
After the cruise, we will visit the Arc de Triomphe. Commissioned by Napoleon to honor the French army, this monumental site features intricate reliefs that celebrate significant historical events. Our knowledgeable guide will share stories of its construction and the epic tales it commemorates.
Following the Arc de Triomphe, you’ll stroll down the Champs-Élysées. Known for its theatres, cafes, and luxury boutiques, this famous avenue exemplifies French elegance and is an ideal spot for some free time. Here, you can shop, dine, and soak in the vibrant Parisian atmosphere.
As your day winds down, a comfortable coach will take you back to the port in Le Havre, filled with splendid memories of your Parisian adventure. Our tour is timed to align with your ship’s schedule, ensuring a stress-free return well before your departure.
