Overview

Burgundy and Provence are made for travellers who enjoy slow days, beautiful scenery, and exceptional food and wine, explored at an easy pace by e-bike and river cruise. This luxurious, all-inclusive journey follows the Rhône and Saône, pairing gentle cycling with the comfort of the AMADEUS Provence, your floating hotel. Days drift past vineyard-covered hills, lavender-scented countryside, and historic towns like Lyon, Avignon, and Arles, while evenings are reserved for relaxing on deck or savoring refined French meals. It’s an effortless, unhurried way to experience southern France, designed for comfort, ease, and quiet enjoyment. Life on board unfolds gently: soft colors inside, wide windows framing vineyards, lavender fields, and clusters of Provençal houses drifting by. All cabins offer the same thoughtful level of comfort, with private bathrooms, climate control, flexible bedding, and well-designed living space. The main difference between cabin categories is their location on the ship and how they connect to the river scenery. Dining on board follows an easy, unhurried rhythm, with food and drink available throughout the day.
