Where flamingos strut around

A luxury river cruise on the Rhône

It thunders down from the slopes of the Gotthard massif as a raging mountain stream, leaves Lake Geneva as a wide river and then turns a clear, deep blue: the Rhône. Join us for the luxury river cruise of a lifetime.

Cruising on the Rhône has a long history. During construction work in Lyon in 2003, six small boats dating from the early centuries of our era were found. In the Middle Ages they were used to transport wine, olive oil in amphorae and marble from Italy.

Towns on the Rhône

Scenically, a cruise on the Rhône is a dream, passing through France's most beautiful regions such as Burgundy, Rhône-Alpes and Provence. Enchanting towns such as Arles and Avignon line its banks, beavers and river otters live in its floodplains – and its arms form the delta of the Camargue, where flamingos strut across salt lakes and white horses roam free. The Rhône is the epitome of sensuality. A river for gourmets and people who love the finer things in life. The Rhône smells of lavender and herbs. This must be what they call 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. Afterwards, 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 neighbouring 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 cosy botanical garden! Don't miss the exhibition at the historic chocolate factory of Tain-l'Hermitage, it’s very 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 testimony to a rich history, from its amphitheatre to its proud patrician houses. And what would Arles be without Van Gogh – a stroll through the city in the light of the artist 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 cobbled 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 1,840 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 Palais des Papes, one of the largest and most important medieval buildings in Europe. It was built, it must be said, 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

He was considered meticulous and obsessed with detail. His famous Boléro is an idiosyncratic composition that nevertheless 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.
