SEN - Paris and Normandy Cruise Break Itinerary
Day 1 - Paris (France)
Boarding and settling into your cabin between 6pm and 7pm. The crew will be introduced to you during the welcome cocktail. You will then take your place in the restaurant for your first dinner on board, during which (depending on the water level) you will be able to admire the most wonderful locations of Paris by night. Shimmering in a thousand and one lights, Paris exercises an almost magical power of attraction.

The first day is particularly rich in new sights and sounds.
