About Napoleon

Region: France
Location: Provence on the Rhône River
Capacity: 12 Guests

This is a luxurious 12-passenger river cruiser, owned and operated by Orient-Express, that visits many of the classic sites of Provence from the Rhone River. Individuals may book one of the six equal cabins or an intact party may charter the entire boat. Completing the unique and popular upper deck are Jacuzzi, exercise equipment, and comfortable lounge chairs where lunch and dinner can be served in fine weather under the canopy. The inviting salon on the main level is paneled in a lovely ash wood and appointed with fine furniture and French Provencal fabric. Also on this level is a fine sleeping cabin and the dining room, which features a fine mural depicting Napoleon Bonaparte's life and other historical figures from Provence. The lower level contains 5 equal sleeping cabins, each furnished with private DVD players and newly remodeled bathrooms. The Napoleon cruises the more southerly stretches of the Rhone River, providing guests the advantage of unpacking just one time while covering an array of fabulous sights each day. From the Chateauneuf-du-Pape tastings to the famous Roman aqueduct at the Pont du Gard, the wide variety of excursions coupled with the elegant style of this gorgeous vessel make the Napoleon the most luxurious river cruiser in Europe today, heartily endorsed by Frontiers.
