Grand Seine & Rhône

Cruise, Cruisetour, River cruise, Small Ship/Yacht

Paris to Nice Cruisetour

Slideshow offer placeholder
French history, art, food, and wine are all highlighted on this grand journey along three iconic French rivers: the Seine, Saône, and Rhône. Begin with our pre-cruise land package in Paris, immersing yourself in some of the lesser-known history and neighborhoods of the "City of Lights." Next, board your beautiful river cruise ship and visit Richard the Lionheart’s former stronghold, Château Gaillard, then witness a moving ceremony either on the US or the British and Canadian Landing Beaches of Normandy. Discover medieval Rouen and the cities, including Paris, that inspired artists like Monet before transferring by train to the South of France. Here you will sip wines from Burgundy and the Côtes du Rhône, explore Provence through your tastebuds in the culinary capital of Lyon, stroll through a truffle farm alongside a canine companion, and follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh in Arles. After you disembark, venture into the French Riviera, visiting Nice, Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo, renowned for its magnificent casino. This longer journey through France will awaken all your senses as you fall deep in love with this beautiful country and the amazing wonders it has to offer.

About AmaLyra

Ship Overview
AmaLyra
After her launch, the AmaLyra quickly earned a "Best New River Cruise Ship" distinction in comfort and style. Perhaps it can be attributed to AmaLyra’s rippling Main Lounge carpet, evocative of the river, or her elegant love seats in varying shades of blue. Or maybe it was because of the scenery afforded by the ship’s French balconies, or because of the exquisite cuisine served by the Main Restaurant and in a delightful, multi-course production as part of The Chef’s Table experience. Whatever the reason, savor the comfort of staterooms appointed with Entertainment-On-Demand, unlimited Wi-Fi, movies, music and English-language TV stations. Revel in the indulgences offered by the sauna, whirlpool, and massage and hair salon. And take advantage of AmaLyra’s sun-deck walking track, fitness room and fleet of complimentary bikes—because maybe being on the best river cruise ship means being the best version of you.

Their vessels feature an array of amenities specifically designed for comfort, convenience and luxury on the great waterways of Europe.

The latest high-tech features onboard:

Bicycles: Each ship has plenty of bicycles onboard which can be used by passengers, free of charge, to explore the small towns. Most regions offer well-maintained bicycle paths along the river.

Wellness Area: Located in the aft area of the Violin Deck, this generously designed space includes a glassed-in fitness room, massage and beauty salon; the aft lounge with modern wicker furniture and French doors to enjoy the fresh river air.

Elevator: Each ship has an elevator, which very few river cruise ships feature. The elevator reaches four different levels: the Restaurant level (1), the Staterooms on the Cello Deck (2), the Lobby and Panorama Lounge (3) and the Staterooms on the Violin Deck (4).

Infotainment Systems: Every stateroom is equipped with monitor, keyboard with Internet access, English language TV stations, a large movie selection and numerous music programs. Our satellite telephone system allows you to call home for a nominal fee.

Stateroom Amenities:

• All outside staterooms with French Balconies or Fixed Windows at 170 sq. ft.
• All staterooms have AmaWaterways’ exclusive Infotainment system, including complimentary Internet access, first run Hollywood movies and music library
• Flat-screen Televisions with local and satellite channels
• In room safe, hair dryer, ample closet space and direct dial telephone
• Hotel-style white on white, plush bedding and terry bathrobes
• Complimentary bottled water replenished daily
• Individually controlled air-conditioning
• Our extra spacious Jr. Suites are 255 sq. ft. with French Balconies and Floor-to-ceiling Windows

Junior Suites: Although rarely found on European river cruise ships, Junior Suites aboard our ships are extra spacious at 255 square feet. They feature a comfortable sitting area with a sofa and two chairs, floor-to-ceiling windows with French balconies and luxurious, extra spacious bathrooms with bathtubs and showers. The suites sell quickly, so early reservations are recommended.
