A Journey Through the Heart of Southern France
Cruise the tranquil Rhône and Saône rivers, meandering through picturesque southern France in search of charming villages, ornate palaces, Roman ruins, legendary wine regions and delicious Provençal cuisine.
Uncover the essence of this magical region, from Lyon, the gastronomic heart of the nation, to the famed artists’ community of Arles, and the historic ‘City of the Popes’, Avignon. It is no surprise that the South of France is recognised as the birthplace of photography; its unrivalled beauty comprises the finest examples of French 15th-century architecture, with Roman ruins and sweeping vineyards nestled at the foot of colossal mountain ranges. Exceptional inclusions invite you to connect with local culture and heritage, from a private tasting in the famed Beaujolais wine region to a canoe tour along the Rhône and a private classical concert in an Avignon church. Enjoy an exclusive dinner on board with authentic Provençal cuisine prepared by Top Chef finalist, Fabien Morreale. Cruising in luxury on board an Emerald Star-Ship that has been custom-built for these rivers, your journey flows at your pace, and each day is shaped just for you.
