The diamond capital of Antwerp is just one of the sparkling highlights of this 9-night sojourn around the continent. Along the way, we will take in the stunning medieval city of Rouen, with its legendary cathedral, and the tranquil port of Honfleur that inspired Claude Monet. You’ll also remember leisurely cruises along the Rivers Seine and Scheldt for life.

Antwerp, famous for its diamond industry, is a true gem – a vibrant city filled with fashion, gastronomy, art and architecture. Combine it with a tranquil cruise along the historic River Scheldt for the perfect getaway.

Rouen cruise River Seine, France

The capital of Normandy boasts Gothic churches, cobblestoned streets and medieval houses, plus the stunning Cathedral Notre-Dame. It’s also the perfect starting point for a leisurely cruise along the tranquil Seine.
