Meals Onboard
Assemble in Singapore Changi Airport, take flight to Marseille.

Meals onboard/Lunch
Upon arrival in Marseille, we will be visiting the Old Port of Marseille which is also the major street of Marseille. After lunch, we will visit the best known symbol of Marseille - Basilique Notre Dame. It was built on the foundations of an ancient fort at the highest natural point on the south side of the Port of Marseille. Thereafter, check in to hotel and free at own leisure.

Breakfast/Meals Onboard
After hotel breakfast, transfer to Avignon for embarkation to your ship and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Today, you may choose to relax in your luxurious stateroom, or lounge on the Sun Deck or at public spaces onboard while appreciating the surrounding views.

Meals Onboard
Explore a sun-drenched Provençal town today with an allure all its own. Known for its remarkable Roman ruins, Arles so inspired Van Gogh that he painted some 200 paintings there. Arles has existed since the sixth century BC, when the ancient Greeks founded it and named it Theline. It was here that the Romans built their first bridge across the Rhône River, creating a vital overland route between Italy and Spain.

Featured Excursion: Arles Walking Tour

Meals Onboard
The walled city of Avignon is one of the most fascinating towns in southern France, with a host of historic gems to explore—including the fortress residence of rebellious popes who broke from Rome and once lived and ruled here. You’ll see the Palace of the Popes and much more today, and also have a chance to kayak under a 2,000-year-old Roman aqueduct.

Choice of Avignon walking tour with Palace of the Popes or Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct visit or "Let’s Go” kayak ride on the Gardon River  

A special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

Meals Onboard
An enchanting village where time seems to have stopped centuries ago, Viviers has a long and storied past that goes back more than 1,600 years—and a splendid architectural heritage to match. At one time, Viviers was divided along religious lines—the clergy lived in the upper part of the town, the laity in the lower part. Your exploration of the town will take you through both parts, as you begin at the crest and make your way to the riverbank.

Featured Excursion:Truffle hunting & village of Grignan (Connoisseur Collection)* Intimate Viviers “Village Day”

Meals Onboard
If you love fine wine, you’ll love the twin villages of Tournon and Tain-l’Hermitage. Tournon may be a small town, but stirring events took place here: A castle was raised on the hilltop in the 10th century to protect the region, and new fortifications were added over the centuries, including two “new” towers built to defend against Protestant attacks in the 16th century. You’ll see the handsome houses constructed by wealthy merchants and garrison officers when you walk through the Rue de Doux area, and you’ll pass the 14th-century church and the oldest secondary school in France.

Featured Excursion:Choice of Tournon and Tain-l’Hermitage twin villages stroll with wine tasting or “Let's Go” Hermitage terrace vineyards hike with wine tasting

Meals Onboard
As the epicenter of French gastronomy, Lyon is a city of tantalizing contrasts. There’s much to explore here, from the work of culinary visionaries to silk weavers’ secret passageways. After your choice of excursions, embrace the locals’ favorite mode of transportation with a bike ride—a great way to see the sights.

Choice of Lyon Capital of Gastronomy tour or Silk weavers walking tour or “Let's Go” Lyon peninsula bike tour

Meals Onboard
The pace of life is decidedly more relaxed in Burgundy, where endless rows of grapes hang heavy on the vine. The capital of the region’s wine trade, Beaune is renowned for its history, beauty and highly prized wine, as well as its medieval-era hospital—the Hospices de Beaune.

Featured Excursion:Choice of Burgundy landscapes, Beaune and the hospices or Mâcon walking tour  

A special Captain’s Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.
