Sail the iconic rivers of Europe

The Saône Springing from the low mountains of the Vosges, the Saône coalesces with the Rhône in the city of Lyon. Supporting trade and commerce since prehistoric times, the peaceful banks of the Saône are home to burgundy-roofed villages, sweeping meadows, and wind-shaped Poplar trees.

The Rhône Carving through the alpine landscapes of Switzerland and France, the Rhône is the only major river flowing directly into the Mediterranean Sea. Medieval cities, ancient villages, and prosperous towns call the riverbanks home, and Gallic heritage runs through every bend of this beautiful waterway.
