Sailing along the beautiful River Seine of France, ms Swiss Sapphire provides its guests with a fantastic way to experience the culture, cuisine, and history of the area.

From her panoramic restaurant and public spaces, guests of ms Swiss Sapphire are able to take in amazing views of the ports of call visited during each cruise. Possibilities include rural Etretat, Calvados country and the abbeys of Breuil-en-Auge, Normandy's beaches, Honfleur, Rouen and Monet's Giverny. True to Tauck's renowned land tour heritage, all port stops will include extensive tours of the surrounding area.

Accommodating just 118 guests, the spaciousness and service on board ms Swiss Sapphire is quite simply fantastic (as ships of a similar size often allow as many as 160 guests to travel on board). With enough public spaces and lounges to stretch out, it will hardly feel like you are on a river ship. Most staterooms feature French balconies, which allow guests to open their windows and take in the sights and sounds of the historic Seine River valley.

Your immersion into French culture does not end once you get back on board ms Swiss Sapphire. While away on your tours, chefs have been working tirelessly to bring the best of French cuisine right to your dinner table. Guests are even given the option to stay in town and enjoy supper in one of the many great French eateries along the journey.
