Talent To Be Announced!

Bonjour, Friends! Welcome to the French river cruise of a lifetime. Guests will be transported to hidden gem towns found in France. Treat your palate to authentic French flavors with a wine-themed itinerary that features the soul of France’s Burgundy and Provence regions, with the added touch of Broadway’s finest performers joining you on the cruise and performing nightly concerts onboard the ship. This one-of-a-kind river cruise invites you to enjoy an extensive lineup of included tours and excursions including standard and special interest tours, bike tours, hikes and more.  No matter your interests, Broadway in Burgundy and Provence will be full of discovery, awe, and exclusivity.

After flying into France, begin your adventure by embarking the AmaCello at the Port of Arles. Arles is one of the most beautiful cities in France, and is known for its Roman ruins and Van Gogh’s legacy, which you’ll have the opportunity to explore. Avignon, the “City of Popes,” was the center of the Catholic Church in the 14th century. Explore its Papal Palace and medieval walls on a guided walking tour. Alternatively, taste regional specialties or visit a Châteauneuf-du-Pape winery.

Relax on your balcony or the Sun Deck as you cruise to Viviers. Explore the charming medieval city by bike or visit the hilltop village of Grignan, or even go in search of the highly prized “Black Diamond” truffles with a local farmer! Vienne, while located in Southeastern France, is very much a Roman city. Step back in time and enjoy the marvelously preserved ruins. Explore Lyon, starting with its UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fourvière Hill, and its historic basilica. Continue to the old town and discover its unique "traboules."

Discover Macon, known for its vineyards, museums, and historical sites. Alternatively, explore Cluny’s impressive Romanesque abbey. After, enjoy lunch on the Sun Deck as you sail Tournus. In Tournus you’ll have an array of options, whether that’s seeing the magnificent Benedictine Abbey or the moated Château de Cormatin or the medieval village of Brancion.

Explore Chalon-sur-Saône’s medieval past or visit Beaune's charming streets and historic hospital, know known as the Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune, with its mosaic-tiled roof. Bid “Adieu” to your unforgettable trip as you disembark AmaCello in Dijon, France.
