Combine a passion for the good life with art,
culture, and brilliant landscapes, and you have
northern France
Begin your visit with a two-night stay at a deluxe Parisian
hotel which will be your base of operations from which
to explore the delights of Paris—such as an included
panoramic tour of the “City of Light.”
Sail all the way to Caudebec-en-Caux through the scenic,
inspirational countryside of northern France.
Visit the charming French village of Les Andelys, the city
of Rouen, and the harbor town of Honfleur, all of which
were lovingly depicted by the Impressionists. Walk the
beaches of Normandy where Allied forces landed during
WWII’s D-Day Invasion, and see the site where Joan of
Arc was martyred. Experience Monet’s home in his
beloved village of Giverny, where you will see the familiar
Japanese bridge and water lily-covered pond that
inspired his great works of art. Spend time in one of the
world’s grandest cities, Paris, the “City of Light”—with
its iconic Eiffel Tower, famed Champs-Élysées, and
grand Notre Dame Cathedral.
All of this and so much more await you in one
unforgettable journey that you won’t want to miss.
Plus, share the enchantment of this region with the
special young ones in your life on select sailings
during the summer with Uniworld’s Multigenerational
Family-Friendly Program.

awestruck by the D-Day memorial sites and the site of
Joan of Arc’s martyrdom. Nature lovers will marvel at
the incredible scenery of northern France’s countryside
and Monet’s Giverny. And art lovers will thrill at visiting
