Art & History River Cruises

Explore

Explore our luxurious River Cruises perfect for the cultural connoisseur with a passion for the Arts, Music and History across Europe.

Here's what river cruise expert, Bethan, says about our Art and History cruise

"Discover a side of France that is less seen. Visit the Chauvet Caves, which offer a unique glimpse into pre-history, explore the archaeological site at Cybele Gardens and enjoy Van Gogh’s art at the foundation, where exhibitions contrast beautifully with the ancient art in the caves. This itinerary beautifully blends French history and art through the ages, and we’ve enjoyed crafting it for you!"

-Bethan Davies, Product Executive
