Our SEINE COMTESSE is genuinely aristocratic – especially since her recent full refurbishment. She glides elegantly and stylishly through the romantic Normandy countryside. You can look forward to exceptionally comfortable and lavishly appointed cabins for the duration of your cruise. The deluxe upper deck cabins with lowerable panoramic windows guarantee wonderful views. French cuisine is famous throughout the world, so it goes without saying that you will enjoy it on board the ship. Freshly prepared every day, the dishes are pure poetry and the perfect way to round off unforgettable experiences.
