Overview
Awaken your senses in the south of France’s gastronomic heart
The South of France is a feast for your eyes, soul and appetite; discover this incredible region on a luxury cruise with Scenic. This is a decadent journey through the country’s southern waterways.
Over eleven awe-inspiring days, the tastes, sights and smells of Southern France unravel as you cruise the magical Saône and Rhône rivers. Explore Lyon, the gastronomic hub of France, and the legendary Côtes du Rhône wine region. Enjoy an exclusive cooking demonstration at a three Michelin star restaurant, sip your way through legendary vineyards, go in search of truffles and visit Arles to see the sights Vincent Van Gogh so famously painted during his time here. Scenic Enrich experiences take you into grand palaces and cathedrals for moving private concerts. An exclusive on board dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef will introduce you to authentic French cuisine. As the only 10-night cruise in the region, this is a unique opportunity to slow down and savour the journey. Extend your cruise with a four-day tour of the glamorous French Riviera, from the dazzling streets of Monte Carlo to the cobbled lanes of Saint-Paul de Vence. Luxury accommodation, included transfers and a Scenic Tour Director make for seamless travel.
