Cruising
Here at Travelfox we have been cruising for may years as we believe its still the best ‘value for money’ holiday you can get. Its not for everyone obviously but if you are getting a bit bored with sitting on a beach then a cruise could tick your box.
Visiting up to 5/6 different places in a week, fine dining, different forms of entertainment, great service, and knowing you are being looked after by a dedicated crew, means there is a great holiday experience waiting for you.
Our task is to make sure you travel on the right ship for the budget you set – there are many ships sailing the oceans all different and offering you many choice’s – it can be baffling – so let our many years’ experience help you sail away properly.
Whether its an ex UK cruise, fly cruise ~ small ship large ship travelling with families or adult only
people choose a cruise for different reasons, could be the destinations or cabin style or activities on board – but waking up to a new place to explore every day can be amazing.
These are some of our choices – but let’s talk….

Itinerary

From London Tilbury, we’ll begin our cruise to Rouen on board the MS Magellan. (D)
Day Two Cruise: River Seine, Rouen
This morning is spent cruising along the River Seine to reach Rouen, the historic capital of Normandy, located some 75 miles from the Seine estuary. Victor Hugo called Rouen ‘the city of a hundred spires’. Its Old Town is a delightful maze of narrow, cobblestone streets lined with fine half-timbered houses and wonderful gothic churches including the magnificent Cathedrale Notre Dame and the Eglise St. Maclou. Rouen’s Place du Vieux-Marche is famous as the site where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431. Further upriver is the village of Giverny and the home of Claude Monet, who captured the beauty of Rouen in many of his paintings. (B,L,D)
Day Three: Honfleur
Over the years many renowned painters and writers have been attracted to pretty Honfleur, which with its narrow, half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets and charming old harbour set in a sheltered cove off the Seine’s tidal estuary, is simply enchanting. Unlike many of its Normandy neighbours, Honfleur was spared during the bombing of World War Two and nestled in its tidy, picturesque streets historic buildings house art galleries, artists’ studios, boutiques, restaurants, cafes and fine souvenir shops.
