August 20 ~ September 1, 2014
Cote d'Azur to Paris Cruising Provence &
Burgundy with 3 included nights in Paris. You
read that correctly...2014. I'm telling you about
it well in advance so kindred spirits - and any dealers
who want to teach a class - have advanced notice,
as space is limited. Read on as I explain....we're
already taking deposits.
First of all, I've booked the entire ship - Grand
Circle Cruise Line's M/S Provence, voted by Conde
Nast/Travel Magazine the #1 Small Cruise Ship in the
World - it's capacity is 46 passengers.
We have started to take $500 deposits now, it's
the only way Grand Circle would even think of letting
me reserve this limited valuable space and perfect
cruise time...and it will fill fast, I know, as just
in conversation with some of you, the reaction has
been, "sign us up"! I'd love to mail you
a brochure, call me or just send me your address and
I'll get info off to you, lickety split!
On hearing the passenger capacity before last year's
sailing, my first reaction was that the cabins must
be closets!! Au contraire, it was the best river ship
I've ever been on...comfortable French style furniture
in the lounge, yellow and blue motif in the cabins,
twin or double beds, with a gorgeous big yellow armoire
for a closet, antiqued yellow furniture in the cabin
with the desk chair an exact replica of Monet's dining
room chair at Giverny! The bathroom was ginormous
for a ship, plenty of storage space plus sink and
large glassed in shower...with tile trim continuing
the blue/yellow motif but the best part was a second
room, a small W/C with commode and corner sink so
that while my room mate was curling her hair in the
bathroom, I could be in a separate space across our
little entry hall brushing my teeth and putting on
lipstick.
Enough, already on the ship description, it's just
that I loved it so, I hated to leave it....the itinerary
is also divine.
It's truly one of the nicest cruises I've ever taken....primarily
because of the ship and our route. It's a gorgeous
time of year to go - back-packing students are back
in the classroom, tourists are heading home, the museums
aren't as crowded and the weather is great!
Spouses LOVE this cruise, as well they should, the
food is superb, the cabins, magnifique...the crew
attending to every whim, it was like being on your
own private yacht with a bunch of fun people!
You'll be departing from your major departure city
in the USA, to Nice on the Cote d'Azur...the French
Riviera to us folks from Virginia! Some of you might
want to do the optional pre- cruise extension there,
which will include a day trip to Cannes and an optional
day trip to Monaco....but the base trip begins as
we arrive Nice, overnight there, with time to check
out the shops and some charming restaurants (we dined
on delicious crepes the first night)....then mid-day,
the next day we were bused to Arles (Van Gogh's hometown)
where we boarded The Provence and began our cruise
on the beautiful Rhone River.
Cruise the Rhone through Provence and Burgundy to
Paris, stopping at historic villages along the way,
hit the high spots but also have time to browse the
shops or enjoy a glass of wine and people watch! We'll
enjoy three included nights in Paris before departing
for home - time to see the Eiffel Tower, our hotel
is within walking distance of it and so much more,
including an optional visit to Giverny, it is magnifique
- almost a religious experience to stand on the Japanese
bridge and actually view the water lilies Monet painted.
I loved the Musee D'Orsay where all the Impressionists
from the Louvre have been moved, miniature shops down
a charming allee and flea markets and cafes, and,
and, and! Along the route...wine, you betcha, scenery
- your camera will never stop clicking, great historic
towns - I LOVED Beaune - its magnificent medieval
hospital will especially appeal to the medically minded
- the town a shangri la for shoppers! Take time to
sit and people watch or go off on your own, just be
back before our ship sails - this is not a forced
march!!
Miniature artisans will bring their work to the
ship, plus there's great space for a workshop or two,
which is why I've reserved the entire ship, just for
us! Now if you want to choose your cabin today, go
ahead and make your deposit now, call GCT and reserve
your choide of deck and cabin. Use GCT's airfare or
book your own, your choice. Call GCT at 1 800 597
2452, press 2 and give them out Group Code G4 20068
and departure date: August 20, 2014. As I said, deposits
have already started, even before the brochure was
out! I'll mail one to you this week, just get back
to me asap with your address and names of any friends
you'd like one sent to .
Hope you'll join us on the Rhone.
Please share this info with a friend, a club member
or I'll find a room/cabin mate with similar interests
to yours.
