FRANCE
A short flight will take us to France , where we ’ ll slow things down for an indulgent sailing through Burgundy and Provence . Sun-kissed medieval architecture , rolling countrysides , and world-renowned wines await .
Find yourself in the middle of scenes made famous by Vincent van Gogh as you walk around Arles , discover stalls brimming with Dijon mustards , bread , cheeses , and produce for you to taste at the open-air market of Beaune , and hike the terraced vineyards of Tain-l ’ Hermitage for spectacular views over the Rhône , stopping at the top for a sip of what ’ s made here .
For our Rivers of the World guests , we ’ ve included one of our most popular add-on experiences . Enter the charming village of Grignan to visit a family-run farm , where you ’ ll join their trained dogs on a truffle hunt . Taste the famous “ black diamonds ” during your visit , accompanied by a glass of local wine . You ’ ll be reminiscing about France for years to come — but first , you have one more leg of the journey to go !
