Region
Seine / France
Paris is the start and destination of this seven-night voyage on the Avalon Tapestry II. The Seine takes you via La Roche-Guyon and Les Andelys to Caudebec and Rouen before the ship returns to the capital via Conflans. On the way, the focus is on French cuisine, wine, cheese, art and history. Depending on the day, there is a choice of leisurely tours, bike tours or excursions to Normandy. From Conflans, programs lead to Auvers-sur-Oise in the footsteps of Van Gogh or to historic castles. Olivia addresses the full charter to lesbian and LGBTQ+ women. On board, French wines for lunch and dinner, regional cheeses and a patisserie demonstration complement the travel program. In this way, the trip remains culinary without neglecting the landscape and history of the Seine region.

Frequently asked questions

How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?

As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.

What is usually included?

Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.

Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?

Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.

What are the cancellation terms?

That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.

What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?

The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
