Cruise the Seine

 Many of the world's greatest cities have riverine settings, but not many of those rivers are worth following to the sea. Not so with the Seine, which departs Paris to uncoil itself through Normandy's countryside, heading for the medieval capital of Rouen, a city with an astoundingly intact historic quarter. On this river cruise with Uniworld, essential stops en route include Monet;s beloved home in Giverny and the pretty estuary port of Honfleur. Beyond Honfleur lie the Normandy beaches and scene of the D-Day landings.
