Our Journey Planners have designed this cruise to take advantage of Balmoral’s smaller size. We’ll sail the scenic River Seine, revealing historic bridges, quaint villages, and idyllic countryside, en route to Rouen, and dock in central Antwerp – both of which are only possible on smaller ships. Antwerp invites you to discover Flemish artwork, Belgian chocolates and the diamond district, while Rouen is ideally placed for exploring Paris. The French capital is ideal for immersing yourself in Parisian culture, including art, fashion and culinary delights like pastries. Alluring architecture will be yours to admire, too, from Art Nouveau wonders in Belgium to medieval streets and half-timbered houses in Rouen.
