Day 1 Dijon

Step aboard your luxurious river ship in the heart of Dijon. Settle into your stateroom, meet your crew, and toast the beginning of your Flavors of Burgundy cruise.

Uncover the rich history of Dijon, once home to the powerful Dukes of Burgundy. Explore its medieval center with grand squares, museums, and half-timbered houses on a guided walking tour, taking in the serene countryside.

Day 3 Chalon-sur-Saône

Travel through Burgundy’s famed vineyards to Beaune, the region’s wine capital. Dive deeper into Burgundy’s winemaking legacy with a cooperage workshop or guided tasting of prestigious Côtes de Nuits vintages, or explore the quiet charm of Seurre before a scenic sailing toward Chalon-sur-Saône.

Step into the quiet majesty of Tournus, where centuries of history linger in the air and sun-dappled streets invite leisurely discovery. Drift through charming villages with stone gateways and serene gardens, savor the gentle rhythms of riverside life, or feel the countryside breeze on a guided bike ride or while sampling local wines en route to Mâcon.
