Gastronomy & Wine Cruises

Sail through France’s legendary wine regions — Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence and the Rhône Valley — where on-board chefs and sommeliers introduce you to regional flavours, vineyards, and Michelin-level dining.

Perfect for foodies and connoisseurs eager to taste France from the source.

French River Cruise & Cuisine at Its Finest

We work with a French family-owned cruise line. It brings an authenticity rarely found in international cruising. French gastronomy is not treated as entertainment or an optional extra — it is at the heart of the experience.

Menus onboard are developed under the direction of Alain Bohn, member of the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and Maîtres Cuisiniers de France, reflecting the culinary heritage and regional identity of the regions you cruise through. For Australian travellers unfamiliar with the institution, the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is one of the world’s oldest and most respected international gastronomic societies, dedicated to preserving the traditions of fine cuisine, hospitality and the French art of the table.

Guests enjoy refined French cuisine inspired by each itinerary, carefully selected French wines, elegant multi-course dining, fresh local ingredients and the relaxed yet attentive hospitality for which France is renowned. Each meal becomes part of the journey itself, transforming a river cruise through France into a true immersion in French culture and art de vivre.

Culinary Excellence Inspired by the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs

The cuisine served aboard is overseen by Alain Bohn, the cruise line’s Head Chef and a member of the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs and Maîtres Cuisiniers de France.

The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs is one of the world’s oldest and most respected international gastronomic societies, dedicated to preserving the traditions of fine cuisine, hospitality and the art of the table. Founded in France and represented in more than 80 countries, membership is associated with culinary excellence, refinement and a deep respect for French gastronomic heritage.

Under Alain Bohn’s direction, the dining experience onboard reflects these values through refined menus inspired by the regions travelled, carefully balanced flavours, seasonal ingredients and thoughtfully selected French wines.

Rather than standard cruise dining, guests enjoy an authentic, elegant and regional French gastronomic experience.

Quality Cuisine, Acclaimed by our Passengers

The head chefs are members of the Maitres Cuisiniers de France association and of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. Some of them worked in the kitchens of 3-star Michelin restaurants.

They design each menu in the pure tradition of French gastronomy, while bringing out the local tastes and flavours of the regions you travel through. The wines are selected to accompagny each of your meals.

Meals that can be adapted to offer alternatives to passengers with special dietary requirements.
