Viking River Cruises
Paris & the Heart of Normandy
Enchanting orchards, colorful pastures and crystal clear streams await you as you cruise through the Seine’s scenic river valley. As you sail along this majestic waterway, you’ll journey through the heart of Normandy—a region central to the history of France and much of Europe. Help commemorate the 61st anniversary of D-Day as you make the pilgrimage to the Normandy region, home of the famous World War II landings. Delight in the architecture of Rouen with its wonderful Gothic monuments, and see where Joan of Arc was tried and executed for heresy. Spend time strolling the exquisite gardens of Giverny, the lush landscape that inspired the artist Claude Monet. Walk the cobblestone streets of provincial Vernon, and enjoy a historic excursion to the Normandy Beaches. And especially, revel in the splendor of the world’s most romantic city, Paris, and experience the magic of this city of love.
