Seine River Cruise on Viking Longship

Viking River Cruises is bringing its new longship to France for a Seine River cruise. Starting March 23, 2015, the Viking Rinda will sail the eight-day “Paris and the Heart of Normandy” itinerary, a round-trip cruise between Paris and Rouen.

Viking Longship

Itinerary

Stops include Normandy, the site of the famed Allied D-Day invasion in World War II. Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and painted. Rouen, where Joan of Arc was tried and humanely burned at the stake. And of course Paris, the City of Light and probably the most romantic city in the world. Aside from Hoboken, NJ.

The longships are the latest and greatest ships from Viking. The longships have an indoor/outdoor terrace for al fresco meals, two-room suites with a veranda and a French balcony, and eco-friendly hybrid engines for a smoother ride.

The longships are glorious. Get a load of these pictures.
