Come join Donna, Nancy and friends as we cruise from New York City, up the Atlantic coast then down the St. Lawrence Seaway to Quebec and Montreal. Visit such iconic locations as Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, New Brunwick, Quebec and Montreal. Since we'll be traveling on a ship with less than 710 passengers, we can also stop in smaller towns and coves along the way.

FRENCH RIVIERA EXPLORER - Oct. 21-29, 2026
$2,799 per person/double occupancy. Single supplement available. Air is additional.
This tour of southern France is unique and exciting because it's a land-based tour focused on the French Riviera rather than the usual cruises. You will stay and one hotel in Nice, venturing out each day to a variety of locations. Included in the itinerary are explorations of Aix-en-Provence, Monte Carlo, the medieval city of Eze, Antibes and Cannes. There's an optional tour at a nominal price one day by motorcoach to Italy - the seaside town of Ventimiglia as well as San Remo.
At the end of this immersive stay in the French Riviera, an optional tour to Paris is available to add on to your French adventure. Travel by high speed train from Nice to Paris, then have a guided tour of the City of Light that first day. The next day in Paris is available to explore on your own. On the final day, you will be transferred to the de Gaulle Airport in Paris for the flight home. (You are always welcome to go into France earlier and to stay longer. We can help you with all those arrangements.) Donna Parker of Getaway Travel Specialists will be accompanying this tour. She and some other travelers will be heading to France a few days early and possibly staying a little longer.
We hope you can join us for this wonderful immersive tour.
