Paris Escape 3 Night River Cruise
If you are looking for a short but deeply rewarding break, our Paris escape cruise offers the perfect opportunity to see the French capital from a fresh perspective. This three-night river cruise is designed for travellers who appreciate comfort and well-organised sightseeing. We have secured flights from Dublin that include baggage, and all transfers are pre-arranged, so you can focus entirely on enjoying your holiday. Your accommodation will be on either a 4-star or 5-star river cruiser, such as the MS Botticelli or MS Renoir, which remain moored in the heart of the city, providing a convenient and stable base for exploration.
This trip is a fantastic value option because so much is included in the price. From the moment you arrive, you will be on a full-board basis, meaning your meals are all taken care of. Additionally, drinks are included throughout the duration of the cruise, allowing you to relax in the lounge or on the sun deck without worrying about the bill. The itinerary is thoughtfully balanced between structured guided tours and free time. You will be treated to a panoramic coach tour that passes the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame, as well as a more intimate guided walk through the cobbled streets of Old Montmartre, where you can see the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and local artists at work.
In the evenings, the ship becomes a venue for entertainment. You will experience a traditional cabaret show on your first night, and a sophisticated gala dinner on your final evening. One of the most recognisable features of this Paris escape cruise is the night-time sailing on the Seine. Watching the monuments of Paris light up from the water is a truly memorable experience. Whether you have visited the city many times or this is your first time to France, the ease of river travel combined with the quality of service provided by the crew makes this an excellent choice for a short winter getaway. Our travel advisors are ready to assist with your booking and answer any questions about cabin upgrades or the 55Club benefits available on this departure.

Breakfast is served on board before you depart for a comprehensive coach tour. This guided sightseeing experience covers the city's most famous landmarks, including the Louvre, Opéra Garnier, and the Arc de Triomphe. The afternoon is yours to spend at your leisure, perhaps visiting a local cafe or browsing the shops on the Champs-Élysées. In the evening, there is an opportunity for dancing on board, and depending on water levels, the ship may cruise toward the modern business district of La Défense.

Today features a guided walking tour of Old Montmartre. This historic hilltop village is home to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica and has long been a hub for artists and poets. After the tour, enjoy a free afternoon to explore the nearby Trocadéro gardens or the Invalides. The final evening is a special occasion featuring a gala dinner followed by a night cruise. Seeing the 'City of Light' illuminated from the vantage point of the river is a highlight of any trip to France.
