Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Monday - Jul 8, 2024

Paris, France

Welcome to Paris, the City of Light. The French capital is home to some of the world's most famous monuments, from the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe; museums that contain masterpieces such as Da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Van Gogh's Self Portrait; and iconic public spaces from elegant tree-lined Champs-Elysees to its urban oasis Jardin des Tuileries. Whether it's your first or fiftieth time to this romantic city, there is always something new to discover. Your journey will also culminate in Paris where you'll have the opportunity to scratch the surface a little more. Upon arrival, transfer to your Scenic Space-Ship where your friendly crew await to welcome you onboard. Relax in your luxurious suite or take a beverage to the Sun Deck. Download the Scenic Tailormade app to listen to river commentary and gain insight to the villages and sites you're passing.

Day 2 - Tuesday - Jul 9, 2024

Conflans, France

Wake this morning in Conflans, a medieval town located at the confluence of the River Seine and Oise. Though it's just a short distance from the center of the city, it feels a world away. A castle was built here by monks in the 9th century to protect the relics of Saint Honoratus, from whom the town gets its name. It became a popular pilgrimage site in the 11th century, a practice which lasted for more than 700 years. Wander the quiet streets and the riverside pathway, sip coffee at an open-air cafe, and admire the beautiful ancient church. From here, you can explore some of the outer regions of Paris. This afternoon, you'll spend time onboard as your Scenic Space-Ship cruises back to Paris. Relax with a regional wine or beer in the Panorama Lounge & Bar; take some time out in the wellness center, where you can enjoy a massage;, or head to the state-of-the-art gym for an invigorating workout.

Day 3 - Wednesday - Jul 10, 2024

Rouen, France

Rouen is the vibrant capital of the Normandy region. With a fascinating history of Roman and Viking settlement, it has also played a pivotal place in history as the town where Richard the Lionheart was crowned Duke of Normandy and Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake. Much of Rouen was sadly destroyed in World War II, but much of the city has been faithfully restored, including the exquisite Old Town. It's an engaging and historically rich destination, packed with museums, stylish bistros and coffee shops, and a wealth of churches, including the famed 12th-century Rouen Cathedral. Back onboard this evening, join a lecture about WWII to gain a better understanding ahead of your full-day excursions tomorrow. Lecture on WWII: History comes alive tonight with an interactive lecture on the battles of WWII. Discover what life was like during the campaigns of D-Day; learn about Operation Fortitude, the plan created to deceive the Germany Army on the location of D-Day; and see how technology had evolved since WWI.

Day 4 - Thursday - Jul 11, 2024

Honfleur, France

This morning, your Scenic Space-Ship will dock right in the center of Honfleur, a colorful coastal town that has been described as having one of the prettiest harbors in France, Le Vieux Bassin. Over the years the town has captured the imaginations of countless artists and was the birthplace of Impressionism. The bustling harbor and cobbled streets are a confection of half-timbered houses, restaurants, gourmet shops, and art galleries. It's an easy walk from the ship to explore the harbor area and network of laneways beyond. You can choose to explore Honfleur or take an excursion today to the Normandy Beaches to learn about the D-Day Landings, where tens of thousands of allied troops came ashore on June 6, 1944, to free north-western Europe from Nazi occupation. Six weeks of heavy fighting and losses followed, but this strategic campaign ultimately ended the war.

Day 5 - Friday - Jul 12, 2024

Caudebec-en-Caux , France

Your Scenic Space-Ship will arrive in Caudebec-en-Caux this morning. This small town is set on a curve of the Seine and the riverfront is lined with handsome homes, stately gardens, and crumbling stone walls. Caudebec dates back to the Middle Ages and a handful of historic buildings survived the bombardments of WWII, including the ornate 15th-century Notre-Dame de Caudebec-en-Caux. Later, you'll set out to explore more of the Normandy region. Return to your Scenic Space-Ship for an afternoon at leisure.
