Itinerary

Day 1Paris

Welcome to Paris, the enchanting capital of France. Upon arrival, you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to your contemporary Emerald Star-Ship, Emerald Lumi.

A late departure gives you time to explore the City of Light after the sun goes down. Later, Emerald Lumi will depart Paris and cruise to Vernon during the night.

Meals included: Dinner

Day 2Vernon

Wake up in Vernon, a well-preserved medieval town that hugs the southern bank of the river. Most travellers see Vernon as simply the gateway to Giverny, home of the famed Impressionist painter Monet for more than 40 years. But it has many charms of its own, including several antique and vintage stores, beautiful architecture and a striking Gothic church. This evening, join your fellow guests for a welcome dinner on board.
 
Included Excursion
In the footsteps of Claude Monet take a tour of Giverny Gardens, Monet’s home until his death in 1926. Walk through the rooms where he lived and worked, and the restored, elaborate gardens, which inspired some of his most iconic pieces, including the beloved Water Lilies series. You’ll get a sense of the extraordinary play of colour and light on nature and how this translated to Monet’s distinctive Impressionist art. Explore these tranquil spaces at your own pace and absorb the atmosphere that sparked his creativity. 
 
Emerald ACTIVE
Guided e-bike tour of Giverny. Active guests who wish to visit Giverny can hop on an e-bike for a self-guided bicycle ride from where the ship has docked in Vernon, approximately 5km (3 miles) each way. The flat, easy cycle path has picturesque views of the river and the surrounding countryside. Once in Giverny, join your fellow travellers to visit Monet’s house and garden. The beautifully restored house reflects the artist’s personal taste and creativity. Admire the famous Water Garden with its Japanese bridge and the water lily ponds that inspired some of Monet’s most celebrated paintings.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3Rouen

Welcome to Rouen, a beautiful city set along the banks of the Seine and steeped in history and heritage, from Vikings and saints to renowned artists. It is forever linked with French national icon Joan of Arc – it was here, in 1431, that the young heroine was tried for heresy and burnt at the stake. Rouen is also famed for its Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, the tallest in France, whose stunning façade was immortalised multiple times in paintings by Monet. 
 
Included Excursion
Walking tour of Rouen. Join a guided walk through Rouen’s medieval centre. Learn how this former Roman settlement emerged as a major stronghold of Viking invaders during the ninth century.

Emerald PLUS
World War II lecture on board. Discover the complexity and colour of Normandy’s history with a captivating on board lecture about World War II.

Day 4Honfleur

Your ship, Emerald Lumi, will cruise right into the centre of Honfleur, docking in the heart of this charming port city that sits on the southern coast of the English Channel. The harbour is lined with colourful half-timbered houses, and its rugged charm captures the essence of traditional Normandy. It’s also a popular starting point for tours of the nearby D-Day Landings beaches, which turned the tide of World War II. You will remain docked in Honfleur overnight, allowing you to explore the town after dark at your leisure.
 
Included Excursion
Historic Normandy: Allied Landing Sites. Join a remarkable full-day experience and war-themed tour, focused on a highly significant time in World War II. The pivotal D-Day Landings in 1944 opened a crucial Western Front and accelerated the defeat of Nazi Germany. Normandy’s role in this extraordinary military operation makes it one of the most important regions in World War II history. Experience first-hand the Normandy beaches where the Allied vessels landed, as well as the memorials and museum, which honour the bravery of those involved and their ultimate sacrifice.
