From the tranquil waterways of Normandy to the sun-drenched vines of the Douro, this is an indulgent journey to some of Europe’s historic corners. Travelling at a relaxed pace, you’ll have more time to indulge in the wine, food, art and culture of France and Portugal.

Departing from Paris, you’ll cruise through Normandy to be immersed in its unique culture and traditions, learn about its fascinating history, and admire the spectacular scenery. Explore the sombre legacy of WWI at the Somme Battlefield or WWII at the Normandy beaches, feel inspired by the house and garden of Monet, explore the grand chateau that was once home to Napoleon, and see the spectacular ‘City of Light’, Paris. Then travel to Portugal to discover the charms of the Douro River on an immersive journey across the breadth of the country. You’ll find locals still ply their traditional trades, regional fare is authentic and honest, and the people are welcoming and passionate about their heritage. Sip the famous Port wine that has been produced in the same way since the first terraced vineyards were planted on the banks of the river centuries ago.
