Below are brief summaries of France's top rivers. Click the links to see all available offers and search for itineraries.

Seine River itineraries spend time in Paris, where sightseeing tours typically feature photo ops at the Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph and the broad, busy Champs-Elysees. Beyond the capital, highlights include Claude Monet's home and beautiful gardens at Giverny; Chateau Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart's stronghold in Les Andelys; and Le Havre, where passengers can see D-Day landing sites along the beaches of Normandy.

On Bordeaux itineraries, ships navigate the Garonne and Dordogne rivers and the Gironde estuary in southwest France. Guests visit famed wine-producing towns like Saint-Emilion, Pauillac and Sauternes and sample vintages at wine estates. Try local specialties (such as caviar d'Aquitaine and Arcachon oysters) and visit grand old chateaux.

Meander through France's Burgundy region on a Saone River cruise. Walking tours of Macon take in the Wooden House, a charming, half-timbered Renaissance home. Chalon-sur-Saone is an important center for France's wine trade. Passengers can join an excursion to the Hospices of Beaune, a 15th-century hospital complex famous for its intricately detailed, colorful roofs.

Saone River cruises usually are combined with sailings of the Rhone River, which runs south through France's Provence region to the Mediterranean coast. Itineraries call at Lyon, known as the country's gastronomic capital; Arles, one of Van Gogh's favorite places; and Avignon, a walled city with a 14th-century papal palace.
