The most popular time to plan a Seine River cruise is during the summer months from June-August. It’s worth noting that temperatures reach their peak in France in August, so many local families are on vacation during this month. Some travelers enjoy the lighter traffic, warmer weather, and more relaxed feeling when many locals are away, while others hope to visit France in the shoulder months when the cities seem more lively.

Whether visiting the beautiful countryside or enjoying the vibrant cities, you are sure to find a region of France that will encourage you to return again and again. The Mediterranean coast, ever-fashionable Paris, and the traditional towns of the Seine River highlight this exciting country.

Embark on the small cruise ships MS Renoir or MS Amalegro in Paris to explore the vineyards and castles of the Seine River Valley. Ports of call like Giverny, Les Andelys, Honfleur, Duclair and Jumièges highlight the culture, art, and fashion of France, with opportunities to hike, bike, and enjoy walking tours of these small towns and scenic areas.
