“We’ve been waiting for you” was the common theme among our cabin crew, bartenders, waiters, tour guides and the Tapestry II River Boat captain. It had been two years of waiting for the riverboats to take to the water since the boats were shut down for the pandemic.
The staff and crew (and the travelers) were ready for an adventure – an eight-day cruise from Paris to Normandy, with stops in Veron, Giverny, Les Andelys, Caudebec, Normandy Rouen, Conflans and Auvers-sur-oise. Our temporary home was a 361-foot riverboat hosting a little more than 100 passengers and 37 crew members. The design of the boat and the staterooms bring the river inside with full panorama windows and open-air balconies to bring the sights and sounds of the river scenery to life.
The cruise down the Seine River starts and stops in the City of Lights, Paris.
