Riverboats & Small Ships That Explore French Waters

Marvel at the beauty of Danube River on an Avalon Envision cruise. An impressive addition to the Avalon Waterways Suite Ship fleet, this river cruise ship has 67 luxury accommodations for up to 164 passengers exploring Europe.

Measuring 443 feet in length and carrying just 163 passengers, the luxury vessel, Scenic Jewel marries space and intimacy with a sense of exclusivity not regularly found on Europe’s waters. Couple this with a 1:3 crew to passenger ratio and guests can expect attentive service from the minute they step aboard these illustrious river cruise liners.

Walk the lands that inspired famous artists like Van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin with the 159-passenger S.S. Catherine cruising along the waterways of Saone and Rhone Rivers and enjoy a culinary-focused French cruise.

Travel aboard the 152-passenger S.S. Antoinette, a rare pearl on the Rhine River, and capture the moment of seeing Germany on one side and France on the other, while enjoying the sites from the Sun Deck.

Discover the famous Bordeaux wine regions of France on the newly refurbished 124-passenger S.S. Bon Voyage, designed to immerse guests in French culture, art, wine and lovers of all things French.
