Imagine spending the holidays in France, cruising the beautiful Seine River, enjoying the magic of Paris at Christmas — and doing it for just $995!

Here's an extraordinary last-minute opportunity from Grand Circle Travel. A December 14–22, 2026 Seine River cruise has been reduced from $2,395 to just $995 per person.

That's a savings of $1,400 — nearly 59% off! Note that airfare is extra but current fare tracker shows fares for these dates from NYC to Paris will range from $800 to $1,000 (each).

ADDED SAVINGS OPPORTUNITY - Below, see how to save an additional $100-per-person using our special Referral Code!

And there's an added bonus that makes this offer especially appealing: Although the organized tour concludes December 22, you can easily extend your holiday and spend Christmas in Paris!

Paris at Christmas: The City of Light Really Shines!

Paris is wonderful any time of year, but December brings something special. Streets sparkle with colorful holiday lights, storefronts are decorated for the season, and the city takes on a festive atmosphere that makes simply walking around an experience.

Your journey begins and ends in Paris, with seven nights aboard a privately owned small river ship. Along the way, you'll explore historic towns and cities along the Seine, each offering its own character and holiday-season charm.

And when the organized tour ends on December 22? Why rush home?

Stay a few additional days, enjoy the Christmas atmosphere, visit the holiday markets, explore the cafés and neighborhoods, and celebrate Christmas in one of the world's most romantic cities.

For travelers who have always dreamed of seeing Paris during the holidays, this could be a wonderful opportunity.

What's Included in the Cruise?

This seven-night journey includes:

  • 7 nights aboard a privately owned small river ship

  • 20 meals: 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 7 dinners

  • 10 included activities and experiences

  • A home-hosted French afternoon goûter

  • A French cooking lesson

  • Land transportation and transfers

  • Services of a local Trip Experience Leader
