Sail through the heart of Provence and Burgundy on a magical journey where fine cuisine, wine, art, nature and history are a treat for all the senses. For thousands of years, it has been a destination of preference for the world's elite: Greeks, Franks, Romans, Gauls, writers, poets, artists of all types, celebrities, Popes, and the foremost chefs and sommeliers. They have all been inspired by the luminous landscapes of these sunny regions where joie de vivre is a way of life.

Who will enjoy this cruise: Travelers who want to walk in the footsteps of Van Gogh, Cezanne and Gauguin and see the countryside and villages that inspired their works. History buffs, movie fans, gastronomes, wine connoisseurs and chocoholics will love it as well.
