Combine a passion for the good life with art, culture, and brilliant landscapes
Visit Northern France, home to delicious cuisine, breathtaking art, and one of the world’s greatest cities: Paris. The "City of Lights' — with its iconic Eiffel Tower, famed Champs-Élysées, and grand Notre Dame Cathedral - provides the perfect start and end to your Northern France journey.
Visit the charming French village of Les Andelys, the city of Rouen, and the harbor town of Honfleur, all of which were lovingly depicted by the Impressionists. Walk the beaches of Normandy where the Allied forces landed during WWII's D-Day Invasion, and see the site where Joan of Arc was martyred. Experience Monet's home in his beloved village of Giverny, where you'll see the familiar Japanese bridge and the water garden with its pond still full of the water lilies that inspired his great works of art.
All of this and so much more awaits in one unforgettable journey that you won't want to miss. Plus, share the enchantment of this region with the special young ones in your life during the summer with Uniworld's Multi-Generational, Family-Friendly Program.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Art lovers will thrill at visiting villages and homes of the Impressionists, so inspirational and often represented in their works. Students of history will be awestruck by the D-Day memorial sites, the palace where Marie Antoinette riled the French Revolutionaries, and the site of Joan of Arc’s martyrdom. | |

Walk to the English king’s stronghold and admire the remains of the impressive Chateau Gaillard. (Breakfast/ Lunch/ Captain-s Welcome Dinner) - Day 3 - Rouen Featured Excursion: Walking tour of Rouen
Our visit to Rouen will take you to the stunning gothic cathedral of Rouen, the haunting medieval quarter with its half-timbered, glazed tile houses; and the Gros Horloge, a Renaissance clock tower that arches overhead. The walk ends at Vieux Marche, where Joan of Arc was punished for her defiance.(Breakfast/ Lunch/ Dinner) - Day 4 - Rouen (Normandy Beaches) Featured Excursion: Full-day Normandy beach tour

After crossing the majestic Normandy Bridge spanning the river delta, travel overland to Honfleur, a charming French harbor town recreated in numerous paintings by such artists as Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet. You’ll be taken on a guided walking tour from the former smuggler’s harbor of Vieux Bassin - the most frequently painted scene in Honfleur, where the fishing village backdrop is seemingly unchanged from over 500 years ago - through the pedestrian streets to St. Catherine’s Church.

Visit Monet’s home in his beloved village of Giverny, where he lived for 43 years, until his death in 1926. You’ll explore Monet’s house, furnished as it was when the leader of the Impressionist school lived here, including his precious collection of Japanese engravings. Strolling the gardens, you’ll see the familiar Japanese bridge and water garden shaded by the weeping willows that so inspired this master’s work. Watch the light play on the pond which is covered with the water lilies reproduced in Monet’s numerous enchanting versions of The Nympheas (The Water Lilies).

Then it’s on to Les Invalides, the Louvre courtyard and the Luxembourg Gardens, where we will see a slice of daily Parisian life - gentleman playing boules and children sailing boats on the glassy pond - as well as view Bartholdi’s model for the Statue of Liberty.
