TRAFALGAR will offer Seine cruises next year, adding a third ship to its river fleet.
The tour operator is launching its river cruise operations later this year aboard Trafalgar Verity and Trafalgar Reverie (CW 06 May), with a third ship, Trafalgar Harmonie, launching in 2027, sailing a Seine itinerary that includes Paris and Normandy.
Trafalgar had initially committed to expanding its fleet in 2029 (CW 04 Jun).
According to reports, the itinerary will include visiting local families at cider farms in Normandy and a trademark ‘Make Travel Matter’ experience in Paris, focused on history preservation and sustainable urban planning.
Travellers will also visit Claude Monet’s House & Gardens, as well as the Battle of Normandy landing points.
Trafalgar has not stated where it will source its new Harmonie ship from; however it said the vessel will accommodate 126 pax in seven stateroom categories.
Verity and Reverie will be chartered from sister brand Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, and will sail the Rhine and Danube respectively.
“As Trafalgar expands its river cruise fleet, debuting on one of Europe’s most iconic waterways is a natural next step,” Trafalgar vice president river cruise Damien O’Connor said.
“France remains a perennial favourite among our travellers, and this new Seine itinerary offers a fresh way to experience the destination through immersive river cruising, brought to life with Trafalgar’s signature experiences and storytelling.”
Bookings for Verity and Reverie are now open, and also feature land extensions in Lucerne, Prague, and Budapest. MS
