Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Hilary from Globus/Avalon Waterways for this week's cruise chat.

.

We looked at the Paris to Paris Itinerary, including a stop at Normandy (or Juno Beach for Canadians). This cruise is 9 days in length.

.

This Itinerary starts in April and runs until November. You can travel in 2023 & 2024. There are plenty of dates available.

.

I think how Avalon has set the suites up is a great way to maximize space and allow the best views you can get on a river cruise. Now that Avalon is offering room service, I will 100% be starting my day enjoying breakfast and watching the gorgeous rivers of Europe floating by!

.

Avalon has Fewer passengers, More Space per person and Bigger Views. A perfect combination!

.

Explore Avalon FlexDiningThe menu of dining venues is just as diverse as the cuisine you are served. Panorama Dining Room, Panorama Bistro, Sky Grill, Room-Service.

.

You have Complimentary Beer, Wine & Sparking Wine with Meals. As well as nightly happy hour from 545 to 6:45 during the daily port talk.

.

Did you know with Avalon Waterways, you always have a choice for your excursions? And that's actually one of the things I love about Avalon. I love that they have three different styles of shore excursions.

.

Your first option is going to be in your classic excursions. You will have Canal Cruise, City Walks and Inside Visits on the classic excursions. The next option is their discovery shore excursions, such as Food Tours, Painting Workshops, and Cocktail Workshops/Tastings.

Also, they have active excursions: Guided Hikes, Guided Bike Tour, and Canoe/Kayak Experiences. So there's something for everyone.

.

Next, we moved on to the itinerary we're going to be looking at, which is called Paris to Normandy, artistic inspiration and inspiring heroes from the city of light to the white cliffs of Normandy

Embark on your adventure in Paris and sail to Vernon, where you’ll choose between two exciting guided visits—Claude Monet’s stunning gardens at Giverny or the remarkable Bizy Castle, known as “Normandy’s Versailles.” You may choose to go on an excursion to the historic Normandy Landing Beaches, including Omaha Beach, the Point du Hoc monument, and the American Cemetery. In Rouen, best known as the home of Joan of Arc, you’ll go on a guided walk through the medieval quarter and visit the gothic Rouen Cathedral—once the tallest building in the world. From Conflans, go on an excursion to the quaint and inspiring town of Auvers-Sur-Oise—associated with several famous artists, including Vincent van Gogh—or visit Napoleon and Josephine’s Malmaison.

On this French river cruise, you’ll enjoy wine, cheese, beautiful scenery along the Seine River, and stops in charming and historical parts of France. Still, your adventure would not be complete without some time in Paris—one of the world’s most romantic and vibrant cities! Discover the true heart of Paris on a guided walk through the sites of Paris’ rich history, or take a tour showing you the iconic sites of the Louvre Museum, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, and more.
