Seinesational!: Paris to Rouen

Sail the River Seine 28 September-5 October 2007

Peter Deilmann Cruises, Europe's Premier River Cruise Line. The pleasure of your company is requested for ourNew Departures' Exclusive Excursion.

We know that our clients and fellow travellers consider travel to be very personal- very important. Every detail must be looked at, every nuance fully realized.

When we first designed Exclusive Excursions eleven years ago we insisted that, although you may travel as a group, you would never, EVER, want to feel like part of a herd!

Heavens, we don't want to be part of the herd and neither should you. All of our itineraries are designed with this taken to heart. The groups are small, there is ample time to explore on your own and there is always a New Departures' staff member to gently assist.

Your EXCLUSIVE EXCURSIONS includes much more than just the mechanics of travel, but the hands-on, personal attention that will assure you a truly individual travel experience.

We start in Paris, where we embark on seven glorious days exploring the cities along the romantic River Seine. A pre-sailing package in Paris and a three-day post-sailing package to the Normandy Beaches can be added to extend your stay in France. Details for these options will be sent when available.

Because of the Cézanne's popularity, space is limited. Book now to ensure your choice of cabin at 2006 prices. We can't wait to share one of our favorite European excursions with you.
