Another highlight of the valley soon greets us – the ethereal ruins of Jumiéges Abbey – which we rediscover later in the cruise.
Le Havre, France
Wed 10 Jun 2026
This morning we are in Le Havre, and after breakfast, you'll be ready for a full-day tour, with a choice to visit the landing beaches, or taste some of Normandy’s typical produce.
Disembark for a full day visit to the D-Day Normandy Beaches. We visit the British Cemetery in Ranville followed by the Pegasus Bridge Memorial, made famous in the film The Longest Day. We stop to pay our respects at the Canadian War Cemetery at Beny-sur-Mer then continue to Courseulles for lunch at leisure. Later we visit the Juno Beach Centre, situated immediately behind the beach codenamed Juno, the section of the Allied beachhead on which 14,000 Canadian troops landed on D-Day; the museum pays homage to the 45,000 Canadians killed during the war.
Alternatively, today you could embark on a tasting tour of Normandy. Our first stop will be a local cheese dairy, which has been passed down from father to son. After learning about traditional cheese-making methods, we'll have a chance to taste these delicious varieties and savour the authentic flavours. Next, we'll head to Lisieux, a charming medieval town in the heart of the Calvados region, known for the popular local brandy made from apple cider. During your free time, you can explore the extravagant 20th-century basilica on the hillside or the medieval cathedral. Alternatively, you might prefer to enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the local restaurants or cafés. Following that, we’ll visit a family-run estate located by the sea, where you’ll learn about two of Normandy’s most iconic beverages: cider and calvados (apple brandy).

Or simply enjoy a peaceful stroll along the riverbank, admiring the houses and pretty gardens soaking up this tranquil scene.

Giverny & Vernon, France
Sat 13 Jun 2026

The artist himself called his garden his ‘most beautiful masterpiece’ and it’s certainly one of the world’s most photographed and painted, ideally viewed in the delicate morning light. There’s time to wander here, absorbing the tranquil atmosphere while marvelling at the light bouncing off the foliage of every hue and the magical reflections shimmering on the water.
We rejoin the ship for a leisurely lunch, and this afternoon you are free to explore Vernon’s quaint buildings.
Later, enjoy an on-board cheese & cider tasting. A local Farmer joins us to explain the different stages in the production of cider - from apple juice to brandy, with a chance to taste paired with cheese and rillettes.
La Roche-Guyon, France

This morning, we explore La Roche-Guyon, one of France’s most beautiful villages, on a guided tour. Situated along the serene banks of the Seine River, La Roche-Guyon is an enchanting village that captivates visitors with its enduring allure, fascinating past, and dazzling landscapes.
We visit the remarkable 18th-century Château de la Roche Guyon which towers over a loop of the Seine. Wander the extensive gardens, with regimented paths and fruit trees sweeping down to the river and enjoy the superb views over the water. If you’re feeling up to the challenge, a castle dating from medieval times crowns the site, against a backdrop of thickly forested slopes.
After lunch back on board, settle in for an afternoon’s cruising as we drift away from this picturesque spot. We pass by Mantes-la-Jolie’s old medieval stone bridge; the central section was destroyed during World War II and never repaired – another poignant reminder that this area of France has been a battleground for centuries.
