Interested to see if someone has done this river cruise? I think the Normandy beaches and tour in 1 day is not long enough and would like opinions. Thanks

We are on a Viking cruise right now in Germany. We end in Paris this weekend. Viking has a Normandy to Paris itinerary I am thinking of doing. I know someone who's done it and said it's fabulous!

I had some clients on AmaWaterways do this Paris and Normandy itinerary and they loved it. I think Viking and Avalon offer a similar option as well.

They did this because of your exact concern, not enough time in the area and didn't really want to spend all that much time in Paris.

Feel free to reach out if you need help planning or booking!

I completely agree with you that one day is not sufficient. I have a lot of clients that love River Cruises. There are several River Cruise Line that have not been mentioned that offer more than a one day in Normandy. Options for Normandy, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach and more. My contact information is in my bio if you have not found a travel advisor yet I would love to help you plan.

Thanks

My wife and I have been talking about the Viking Danube 8 day cruise. I have been to Budapest and really like it. How has your experience been on the cruise?

If you get tired of the French food go to Rosie's Smokehouse BBQ in the Latin Quarter. They have the real deal in BBQ smokers. They had a guy who won several BBQ awards from here teach them how it is done.

We did the 8 day Viking cruise on the Danube last year. Passau Germany to Budapest with several stops. We loved it!

I would say no issue whatsoever. It is difficult to tell the ship is moving most of the time.

They are very smooth. No worse than riding the moving sidewalk at an airport.

Thanks

Hubs and I took a Viking River cruise this past June and was planned around the 80th anniversary of Dday. Unfortunately our time in Normandy was cut short due toll the hoopla and dignitaries that were there. Our itinerary allowed for two days and seeing that we had alot of Vets on our cruise, they seemed that more time was needed for them...however, we were fine with a full day! Needless to say, it was the trip of a lifetime!! We LOVED It.
We started our trip in London which was fabulous and headed to Paris ( ummm...prep for Olympics was going on so not a great time to be there...) and then onto Normandy and even stopped at Claude Monet's Gardens!!
Highly recommend this trip and river cruising is great! Smaller ships and easy rides. Good Luck!

Thanks for input

Just returned from an 8 day cruise on the Danube- Vienna to Nuremberg. Christmas market tour
Incredible trip.
Booked with Uniworld.
Boat was fabulous and not a hint of motion sickness.
