MS Madeleine - Shore excursions and activities

We offer on all our cruises numerous and surprising excursions. You may prefer to stay aboard our cruise ships and enjoy the tranquillity, but we have an extensive range of excursions we offer that are great ways to discover each country in detail. (All excursions are optional)

Always with the help of our guides, you will visit tremendous cities, picturesque landscapes, and great activities with our bike rides, scenic tours, tastings, whole days visits or evenings out to appreciate the cities by night.

To offer you the best experience, we offer classic or discovery excursion packages, the latter offering atypical tours, original themes or even helicopter flights.

Below, and by destination, take a look at the sumptuous tours you could do during your cruise in the most beautiful countries in the world, be that in Europe or beyond.

Our cruises on the French canals, aboard our barges (the most modern in Europe!). You will wander in the authentic countryside, discovering picturesque villages with vibrant traditions. Far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, this is a quiet journey into the equally peaceful lands we offer you to experience, where you will meet the locals, their art and customs.

From Paris, you can follow the Marne Canal and discover the origins of champagne, you can also discover Burgundy and sail on the sacred waters of the Saone. Further south, follow the Canal de Provence and discover Arles, city of art and history, before venturing into the Camargue region.

We offer a wide range of excursions, but on each of our barge cruises, many excursions will make sure you discover in detail the regions, from their history to the reginal flavours, and heritage.
