S.S. Catherine
28 Nov '28Cruise overview
From north to south, enjoy the delightful blend of rustic charm and grandeur that France has perfected over the centuries—a contrast that lends an undeniable magic to the Noël season. Stroll down grand boulevards under canopies of trees wrapped in glittering lights, marvel at festively decorated chateaux in the countryside, and savor regional specialties—from Normandy cider to the famed “13 desserts” of a Provençal Christmas. Along the way, you’ll find a few of France’s own holiday markets—a tradition in a class of its own, utterly distinct from others you’ll find across Europe—ranging from little “chalets” overflowing with local produce to beloved santon fairs that showcase meticulously hand-painted nativity miniatures.
Grand France Holiday is a combination of Magical Parisian Holiday and Rhone Winter Holiday.
