DAY 1
After being collected from your local pick up point around 5.30/7.00am we travel to Folkestone for our lunchtime Eurotunnel to France. We head for Paris with comfort stop on route before embarkation. We are introduced to the crew over a welcome drink in the lounge/bar. After dinner in the on-board restaurant, we have a traditional evening of entertainment with a "Titi Parisien" theme. The ship sets sail during the night.

DAY 2
After breakfast on board, this morning is devoted to a panoramic visit of Paris with a local tour guide on our coach. Discover the renowned sights and attractions of this magnificent city. We will take you past many famous places including: Bercy, Bastille, the Marais, Latin Quarter, St Germain, the Louvre, the Pyramide, Opéra Garnier, the Champs Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe and the Trocadero. After lunch back on board our ship, the rest of the day is free for independent exploration of this fascinating capital city at your own pace. Return to our floating hotel for a gala evening and dinner. Depending on the water level of the river, we may also cruise to the business district of La Défense in the course of the evening.

DAY 3
Join us for a guided tour of the old Montmartre. Located at the very heart of a 19th century village, the Sacré-Coeur Basilica has remained one of the favorite models for all-time painters, sculptors and poets alike. Enjoy free time in Paris this afternoon. Since we are docked just a few minutes' walk from the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadéro gardens, and the Invalides is just a little further away, it is easy to visit Paris at your leisure. We'll cruise through Paris by night (depending on the water level), floating through the beautifully illuminated city, particularly attractive when viewed from our vantage point on the Seine.

DAY 4
Enjoy one last buffet breakfast on board before disembarking at 9.00am and heading home. We board the early afternoon Eurotunnel and should arrive back in the local area around 5.00pm. Returned to your local pick up point.

For reasons of navigational safety, the captain and crew of the boat alone may decide to modify the cruise itinerary. This cruise is subject to tidal influences and arrivals times at the ports of call may be modified.
