Where flamingos strut around

A luxury river cruise on the Rhône

From its glacial source in the Swiss Alps to its final rush into the Mediterranean Sea, the Rhône courses over 500 miles, finally dividing in the South of France and creating the Camargue, Western Europe’s largest river delta. Its landscape is a dream, flowing through some of France’s most beautiful regions — Burgundy, Rhône-Alpes, and into Provence.  

Towns on the Rhône

Enchanting cities such as Arles and Avignon line the Rhône’s banks, beavers and river otters reside in its wetlands, and its arms cradle its delta, where flamingos strut through salt lakes and wild horses roam freely. As important as majestic, over the centuries the Rhône has served as a waterway where wine was transported in the Middle Ages as well as olive oil and marble from Italy. In 2003, the river’s ancient past revealed itself just a little more as six small, 1st-century ships were discovered during construction work in Lyon. Today, the Rhône has become a special place for epicures and those who appreciate fresh breezes with hints of lavender and herbs… true savoir vivre.

Vienne

Vienne

France

A jewel on a Rhône river cruise

This city is a jewel for those interested in the past and the present. Vienne is a small town, but in the 2nd century it already had 30,000 inhabitants. Trade and steam navigation brought a commercial boom in the 19th century. And what should you see? The Archaeological Museum, the St.-Romain-en-Gal Museum complex with the House of the Sea Gods and the remains of the old thermal baths. Afterward, why not sit down in a café and enjoy the present?

Viviers

Viviers

France

A hidden gem on a Rhône river cruise

At night, stories seem to flutter from the walls of the houses. Narrow alleys. Cobblestones. This little town is a hidden gem. Indeed, a stroll through Viviers is like a journey back to the Middle Ages, for this former episcopal town was spared the destruction of war. In addition to the small shops, there are also great things to see. For example, the cathedral with its five tapestries, three of which were given to the bishop by Napoleon III. The viewpoint in the upper town is a highlight in every sense of the word. What a view over this enchanting place.

Tournon sur rhone

Tournon

France

Beautiful town on your Rhône river cruise

Marc Seguin's most beautiful suspension bridge spans the Rhône between Tournon and the neighboring town of Tain-l'Hermitage. Tournon is France in miniature, with a castle, a fine museum on the history of the Counts of Tournon, navigation, and Seguin’s work. And a very cozy botanical garden! Don’t miss the exhibit at Tain’s historic chocolate factory – delicious!

Arles

Arles

France

The pearl of your Rhône river cruise

This pearl of Provence is surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature parks in Europe. Today, Arles is the epitome of great art and a testimony to a rich history, from its amphitheater to its proud patrician houses. And what would Arles be without Van Gogh? A stroll through the city in the artist’s footsteps is unforgettable.

Lyon

Lyon

France

Gourmet mecca on your river cruise

Lyon is a mecca for gourmets. Is 2,000 years of history. Is the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Is an Old Town with cobblestone streets. Is the Basilica of Notre-Dame and a magnificent view over the city and countryside. Silk painting in the pretty working-class district of La Croix-Rousse. Is the gourmet temple Les Halles de Lyon de Paul Bocuse. Is the finest cuisine in the bouchons. Oh là là – so much sensuality. So much pleasure.

Avignon

Avignon

France

The landmark of your Rhône cruise

It is the symbol of the city. The Pont Saint-Bénézet has spanned the Rhône since 1840 and is internationally famous thanks to the song Sur le pont d’Avignon. If you cross it, you will find yourself in front of the Palace of the Popes, one of the largest and most important medieval structures in Europe. Oddly enough, it was built out of sheer laziness: the Archbishop of Bordeaux did not bother to travel to Rome for his papal consecration. He had himself crowned in Lyon and built a palace in Avignon. A monument.

Our boat on the Rhône

Riverside Ravel

Maurice Ravel was considered meticulous and obsessed with detail. His famous Boléro is an idiosyncratic composition that appeals to a wide range of tastes. The Riverside Ravel bears his name with good reason. Like the Boléro, it glides slowly along the Rhône and Saône in a steady rhythm. Are you curious now? Great! We are working flat out to put together the most beautiful luxury river cruise on the Rhône for you.
