Cruising Europe by river gets you close to the attractions while avoiding seasickness.
It doesn’t take being an American in Paris or seeing “An American in Paris” to know the must-do’s when visiting France.
No one is suggesting that a reunion with Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo in the Louvre or another pop-in at King Louis XIV’s palace west of Paris wouldn’t be special. Au contraire. But if the potential for déjà vu sounds like a vacation with more blah than ooh la la, consider this French twist: Take a river cruise.We don’t mean those half-day sails with sardine-treated tourists on boats as dense as flourless buche de noel.
The 51% that sail with Viking do so on the industry’s largest fleet. Viking’s armada is 79 strong, not including three vessels under construction, and 55 of those are near-identical sister longships built to fit the many locks and tight ports of Europe’s romantic rivers.Romantic is a descriptor rarely associated with non-European waterways.
One of those magical memories is guaranteed on Viking’s 8-day “Lyon & Provence” cruise, and so easy to get. Just walk off the ship in treasure-filled Arles, France, take a few steps to the right and you’ll be standing in the very spot where Vincent Van Gogh painted “Starry Night” in 1888. The icing on the French yogurt cake is buying an original piece of signed art from an entrepreneurial painter working at said spot on the bank of the Rhone River.
