Paris, arguably one of the most beautiful cities globally, will captivate you with its romantic atmosphere, while Normandy beckons with its stunning coastline, incredible cuisine, and artistic allure. Let the unmatched beauty of Monet's Gardens and the charming harbor town of Honfleur inspire you just as they once inspired the great Impressionists. For a unique kind of inspiration, travel the "Routes des Abbayes" to discover some of the most magnificent monasteries and explore the unforgettable beaches of Normandy, where Allied forces landed during WWII's D-Day invasion. Relive the grandeur of royalty at Château de Bizy, once referred to as "the Versailles of Normandy." Blend a passion for the good life with colorful culture, timeless art, exclusive architecture, and timeless landscapes, and you have Northern France.

1. All port charges are included in tour price and rates are per person.

So that we can offer you the best deals, our packages are, like most hotels and cruises, priced based on double occupancy rooms or cabins. We charge solo travelers an extra fee to cover the extra costs of single occupancy rooms or cabins. (Consider: if you booked a $200/night hotel room solo, you would pay the $200 yourself; but if a couple booked the same room, each one would pay only $100.) But you only pay extra for the rooms or cabins, nothing else, including meals, sightseeing, tips, etc. Why are single rooms more?
