During the shore excursions tourists will be able to enjoy such entertainments as Ancient Roman ruins, medieval castles, French rural wineries and tours to the famous beaches of Normandy.

Seven-day "Paris and Normandy" cruise on the Seine will be held on the AmaLegro ship. Among the highlights of the cruise is excursions to the "Monet village" in Giverny, where the legendary impressionist had lived for 43 years, as well as the port town of Honfleur, which became famous thanks to the master’s works. Cruises on the Seine will be available from March to November in 2013.

Then the ship arrives in Lyon, where passengers change the former ship for TGV and travel to Paris. In the French capital they will board the AmaLegro to go on a trip on the Seine.
