2026 Paris Normandy the Seine River Cruise

7-night LGBT+, inclusive and guaranteed full ship charter, Seine River Cruise – Paris to Paris including the historic Beaches of Normandy.

This week-long cruise aboard the AMADEUS Diamond takes you along the winding Seine River on a fascinating journey into the past of the Impressionist masters. Follow the footsteps of van Gogh, Cezanne and Gaugin on this tour into Normandy – without doubt one of the most beautiful regions of France. Sail up to Le Havre, on the rugged Atlantic coast, and back to Paris, probably the most romantic city in the world. Visit idyllic Norman villages that have lost none of the atmosphere that appealed so much to the artists of the 19th and 20th centuries, the “museum town” of Rouen and the picturesque harbor town of Honfleur. Get insights into the life of Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte from their little Château on the outskirts of Paris, filled with antiques and history.

This Brand g all-LGBT+ cruise vacation has it all—historic sites, charming towns, world-class wine and cuisine and more!

ACTIVITIES
Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’re planning a couple of themed parties during the cruise which may include a welcome party, a T-Dance, and quiz shows. If you should choose to participate, great; if you’d rather just be a voyeur, that is totally fine as well.

We will update you on the booked guest pages with any themes prior to your trip.

Travel insurance is important for several reasons, providing financial protection and peace of mind during your travels. Here are key reasons why travel insurance is valuable:

  1. Trip Cancellation and Interruption: If unforeseen circumstances force you to cancel or cut short your trip, travel insurance can cover non-refundable expenses, such as airline tickets and accommodation costs.
  2. Medical Emergencies: Travel insurance often includes coverage for medical emergencies, offering financial assistance for hospital stays, doctor visits, and medications. This is crucial, especially when traveling abroad where healthcare costs can be high.
  3. Emergency Evacuation: In the event of a serious illness or injury, travel insurance may cover the costs of emergency evacuation to the nearest suitable medical facility or back home.
  4. Travel Delays and Missed Connections: Travel insurance can provide compensation for expenses incurred due to unexpected travel delays, cancellations, or missed connections, such as additional accommodation and meals.
  5. Lost, Stolen, or Delayed Baggage: Coverage for lost, stolen, or delayed baggage helps to replace essential items and cover costs associated with the delay.
  6. Coverage for Adventure Activities: If you plan to engage in adventure sports or activities, some travel insurance policies offer coverage for injuries related to these pursuits.
  7. Financial Default of Travel Suppliers: If a travel agency, cruise line, or tour operator goes bankrupt, travel insurance may provide coverage for the financial losses incurred.
  8. Legal Assistance: Travel insurance can offer legal assistance and cover legal expenses if you encounter legal issues during your trip.
  9. Personal Liability: In the case of accidental damage to property or injury to someone else, travel insurance may provide coverage for personal liability.
  10. Peace of Mind: Knowing that you have financial protection in case of unexpected events provides peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your trip without undue stress.

It’s essential to carefully review the terms and conditions of any travel insurance policy, ensuring it meets your specific needs and covers the activities you plan to undertake during your journey. Travel insurance is an investment in your well-being and financial security while traveling.
