Overview

One of the stars of our recent programmes, we are thrilled to offer this lovely cruise once again. The romantic city of Paris is the Capital of Capitals, for there’s no city quite like Paris, it’s fascinating, it’s beautiful and it’s dazzling. The many sights to see include the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame and the Champs Elysees but the real essence of Paris is captured by the River Seine. Our accommodation is aboard the MS Botticelli a River Cruise Ship moored close to the Eiffel Tower.

After returning to the ship for lunch, this afternoon is free to do whatever you wish, the coach will be available for transfers to the centre for those who want to explore further on their own. Others may choose to relax on board and enjoy the ships facilities. This evening, dinner is followed by music for dancing and, depending on water levels, we may cruise to the business district of La Defense, travelling through the Suresnes Lock before returning to our mooring for the night.

We enjoy breakfast on board before departing by coach for a guided visit to old Montmartre. The Basilica of Sacre Coeur is amazing and affords wonderful panoramic views of the city. Lunch on board is followed by a leisurely afternoon. This evening we enjoy a wonderful Gala Dinner followed by a cruise through Paris at night. The city and Eiffel Tower seem even more beautiful when illuminated particularly from our vantage point on the Seine.
