Rhone River

Revelry on the Rhône

Flowing from the glacial waters of the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean Sea, the Rhône River winds its way through the lush landscapes of sun-washed lavender fields and fabled French vineyards that once inspired van Gogh, Cézanne, and Gaugin. Marvel at medieval hilltop villages, treat yourself to world-renowned cuisine, and discover a dizzying number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Arles’ Roman theatre, Avignon’s Papal Palace, and Lyon’s Pont du Gard.

The Rhône River is perfect for any kind of traveller. It offers a gentle introduction to the loveliness of the fairytale French countryside, while satisfying savvy cruisers with the finest French vineyards and ancient touchstones of history.

Rhône River Highlights

SAVOUR THE SAVOIR-FAIRE

Treat yourself to the lands of local patisseries, palate-tempting cuisine, and celebrated wines. When you choose the Rhône River, sailing through stunning southern France – a place where French wine and food blend seamlessly for the gastronomical journey of a lifetime – you’re in for a charming French feast.

Rhône River Highlights

GLACIER EXPRESS

Fantastically Alpine in character, the Rhône River flows from a mountain glacier in the Swiss Alps to wind its way through the ridges, valleys, and basins of Switzerland and France before joining the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Rhône River Highlights

A BRUSH WITH GREATNESS

See for yourself why van Gogh fell in love with the rich Provençal shades and colours of Arles along the Rhône River. On the banks of the Rhône, the tortured artist produced more than 200 paintings and 100 drawings, including his iconic sunflowers.

Rhône River Highlights

HIGH FIVE

The Rhône Basin is home to the five fantastic French regions of Provence, Burgundy (Bourgogne), Auvergne, Rhône-Alps, and Languedoc-Roussillon. Here, Beaujolais and Burgundy flow as they have for centuries, alongside a dizzying number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
