This wine cruise aboard the MS AmaDagio will transport guests through some of France’s most renowned wine regions and explore the Provencal landscape that has inspired poets, painters and writers for centuries.

Highlights of the President’s Wine Cruise include the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Arles and Avignon; the villages of Viviers, Tournon, Vienne and Trévoux plus excursions to the Beaujolais wine region.
