Overview
Go where the Mediterranean meets southern France, discovering sun-washed Provence, ancient Roman cities, storybook villages, and the vine-covered hills of Burgundy, where food and wine are woven into daily life... savor the region through its flavors, traditions, and cultural experiences.
The Rhône and Saône flow through a France made for savoring, past sunlit Provençal landscapes, storied towns and some of the world's most celebrated wine country. Here, life is measured in lingering meals, local wines, centuries of history and the simple pleasures of being exactly where you are.
From the vibrant spirit of Barcelona to the sun-washed landscapes of Provence and the celebrated vineyards of Burgundy, this journey reveals the flavors, beauty and character of Spain and France at an inviting pace. Begin with three nights in Barcelona, with time to experience the city, cava wine and the surrounding Catalan countryside, then travel to Provence to embark on a nine-night cruise along the Rhône and Saône. Explore Roman cities and medieval villages, cycle through vineyards and countryside, taste wines and truffles where they're produced, and discover storied places from Avignon and Arles to Beaune and Lyon. Along the way, a choice of experiences invites you to make the journey your own.
