Rhone River Cruises in France - Burgundy and Provence

River Rhone Cruises through Provence and the South of France

Cruise through an area renowned for its fine wines and gastronomic delights on our Rhône and Saône river cruises.

A river journey on the Rhone is the ideal way to experience the most famous wine-growing areas of France and the colourful history of the Rhone valley.

Most Rhone river cruises start in Chalons sur Saone with a cruise along the gentle Saone river. Excursions may include Beaune, centre of the Burgundy wine growing region and its famous medieval Hospice de Dieu with extraordinary tiled roof.

The city of Lyon, France’s second largest city, is noted for its cuisine, roman remains and its fascinating medieval quarters.

Your Rhone cruise may include visits to Tain l’Hermitage and Tournon in the wine growing areas around the Rhone. The medieval village of Viviers overlooks the gorge of Donzere.

Avignon was home to seven medieval Popes - the Palace of the Popes and the famous Pont d’Avignon are cruise highlights.

Your Rhone river cruise reaches Arles and its superbly preserved Roman ampitheatre. The city was an inspiration for the paintings of Vincent van Gogh.

Other possible excursions are into the Camargue, the marshland haunt of flamingoes, white horses and famous bulls, or perhaps to the Mediterranean coast.
