Les Andelys

Les Andelys stands apart from other Seine ports with its dramatic cliff-backed setting and village charm that makes every shore excursion feel exclusive. Here, a river-cruise becomes a gateway to signature experiences: a private walk through the medieval shadow of Château Gaillard perched above the river, with sweeping views of the meandering Seine, onshore photography at sunset, and curated Norman tastings of Camembert, cider, and Calvados that celebrate local terroir. Day trips span Rouen’s towering cathedral and half-timbered streets, the Monet-inspired landscapes of Giverny, and the harbor-side allure of Honfleur, each offering a distinct lens on art, history, and maritime culture. On any vessel calling at Les Andelys, you’ll find a compact, intimate fleet designed for graceful river navigation—roughly 120–170 guests, refined French balconies, panoramic lounges, and sun decks that invite you to watch the countryside drift by. Fleet features often include private dining that showcases regional seafood and Normandy produce, wine-pairing programs, enrichment lectures by local historians, and well-equipped shore-excursion options with multilingual guides. The onboard service is quintessentially French: attentive crew, 24/7 room service, Wi‑Fi throughout, a wellness area or small fitness center, and a library or boutique offering regional specialties. All told, Les Andelys delivers an experience that blends heritage, nature, and gastronomy in a way that feels slower, more curated, and distinctly memorable compared with larger, more industrial ports.
