The Rhône River Cruise will bring you close to the picturesque natural beauty, impressive culture and charm of France.

The river banks are fringed with fields of sunflowers, ancient olive groves and historical Roman cities, which stand to this day as mute witnesses to a bygone culture. The finishing touch to the Rhône River Cruise is given by first-class comfort and the very best levels of service in a homely atmosphere on board specially built riverboats.

Rhône River Cruises - cities and tourist attractions
No Rhône River Cruise would be complete without a visit to the entrancing city of Lyon — France's third largest city. A stroll through the old city of "Vieux Lyon" will be like a journey back in time. From the imposing basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Fourviere you will have a breathtaking view of the city.
Avignon in the southern region of Provence is home to an impressive landmark: the gigantic Papal Palace. The famous bridge, the Pont d'Avignon, built in the year 1177, is also worthy of note.
If your Rhône River Cruise should take you to Arles, you will experience a small, lively city with a large number of historic monuments. Whatever your interests, we recommend visits to the amphitheatre and the grandiose Église St-Trophime.
Viviers shows medieval influences, and its Roman bridge, chapel of Saint Hostian and many other monuments give insights into its history. From here you can also visit the famous gorges of Ardèche.
