Seine River Tour Selection Trips
- May through September is the most popular (and expensive) season on the Seine (September often offers the most pleasant weather with fewer crowds).
- CroisiEurope, a French-based river cruise line, is now marketing to North Americans with English-speaking crews, so for a complete French experience, check out their offerings.
- To judge the best value as opposed to just the lowest price, watch for how many “extras” are included in the base rate – port excursions, alcohol, balcony cabins, airport transfers in Paris -- that could add to the cost.
- For maximum privacy and comfort, consider splurging on a balcony cabin, where you can relax and watch the changing Seine riverside tableau pass by.
- If you want a French wine country cruise, look farther south in France to rivers that run through Burgundy or Bordeaux.
- Some cruise lines combine Seine cruises with voyages through the Burgundy wine country (the Saône and Rhône rivers), making for a two-week cruise with a connecting bus ride.
Additional details
You will find that many Seine river cruises are offered as day tours. If you are looking for a longer cruise, be sure to look at the itinerary carefully so you know what the itinerary entails.
Alternatively, many longer Seine cruises are included on longer trips - rather than existing as a stand alone cruise.
If you are planning to take a Seine river cruise in 2019, be sure to book early. Seine river cruises usually stop in Normandy, which is expected to be very busy during 2019 with visitors paying their respects and observing the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings during World War II.
What is the weather like?
Seine River cruises are offered year round, and while the weather conditions are mostly predictable, you can expect the odd rainstorm any month of the year. So come prepared!
Weather along the Seine is generally very hot during the summer - with some relief from river breezes. In the winter, expect a chill in the air and maybe even a snow flurry or two.
As with many travel destinations around the world, the shoulder seasons are some of the most pleasant times to visit the Seine. Not just for the weather, but for the beautiful colors along the shore - fall oranges and reds, and bright spring greens and pinks.
Although winter cruises along the Seine hold a special charm as the European Christmas spirit permeates from small villages to the cities.
