8 Days Gastronomy of the Seine Solo River Cruise - MS Emily Bronte

MS Emily Bronte

Taste  your way through the heart of Normandy on a river cruise along the majestic Seine, stopping to visit historic sites that have shaped the course of history.

Known for its apples and dairy, we’ll voyage through Normandy along the Seine, tasting everything this delicious region has to offer. Sample the sweetest apple products at a local farm and the perfect snacks - crêpes in Honfleur, Norman cider and cheese at Bizy Castle, and mouthwatering macarons in Paris – and the fun doesn't stop when we leave dry land! Our on-board restaurant serves a fully French menu, and you can enjoy a tarte tatin cooking demonstration and French brunch as we sail, as well as a Champagne reception looking out onto Caudebec.

Discover some of the region’s history, spanning from Richard the Lionheart to the D-Day landings, in the ruins of Château Gaillard and the many thought-provoking monuments along the Normandy coast. Then visit the country’s sparkling capital, Paris, to explore the city’s gastronomy and maybe even taste the famous macarons!

This holiday is ideal for travellers looking for a delightful introduction to gastronomy and history along the Seine.
