The Napoléon is Europe’s finest river cruiser, combining all the amenities of a luxury hotel with the friendly ambience of a country inn. You will cruise the River Rhône between Arles and Tain l’Hermitage, gazing at the very sun-drenched landscapes that inspired the canvases of Cézanne and Van Gogh.
Time will melt away as you contemplate unsurpassed views of the French countryside. Endless vistas of tiled roofs, lavender fields and olive groves are all synonymous with Provence, a region full of sophisticated architecture dating back to the Roman civilization. Its ruins of fortifications, arenas and aqueducts continue to astound modern engineers to this day.
Excursions are arranged to the wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the storybook towns of Orange, Avignon and Arles. Visits to St Rémy, birthplace of Nostradamus, and the ancient Roman and Greek ruins of Pont-du-Gard and Glanum will also be a part of your action-packed agenda.
