Combine the most romantic city in the world with a fascinating journey into the past of the Impressionist masters. Follow the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin while winding along the Seine River into the beautiful Normandy region to Le Havre on the rugged Atlantic Coast. Normandy was the stage of one of the most pivotal military operations: D-Day during
World War II. Idyllic Normandy villages, the “museum town” of Rouen, and the picturesque harbor town of Honfleur are among the wonders to be explored during this cruise.
