Why not take your next vacation to France on a French river cruise? In this post we'll break down many of your options no matter who you are and what you enjoy. There is truly a French cruise for everyone from wine tasting to rooftop camping. And if a 
guided cruise with river cruise experts (us) is on your bucket list, come along with us in 2020 for the France trip of the century!

Wine: Avalon
Waterways

If drinking wine, learning about wine and watching wine production
is your favorite way to vacation, then 
our exclusive guided cruise along the Rhone River is perfect for you. This cruise (sailing in August 2020) is
one-of-a-kind, and curated just for our group. We will sail from Lyon to Arles
(with pre and post cruise options) all the while taking in the best of France,
and of course trying lots of wine! We will have a special wine host onboard
sailing with us for the entire cruise. Extra wine tastings guided by his
expertise will take your wine knowledge to the next level. This particular
cruise has a ton of exciting excursions to choose from, many incorporating
wine, including an e-bike ride so that you can indulge and use the electric
bike to get you easily back to the ship. Call us today to learn more and we can't wait to see you in France!

Family: Adventures by
Disney

No one does family like Disney, and that includes river
cruises in France. Adventures by Disney charters AmaWaterways vessels for their
European getaways. With many of the same amenities and excursions as you would
find on a non-Disney French river cruise, you will find the added features from
Disney will make all the difference. Excursions and guides are planned with
children in mind, so you won’t have to worry about your little ones getting
bored. And if Disney overload is a concern (but frankly how could it be) then
you will adore the Adventures by Disney option. Because the ships are from AmaWaterways, the décor is not over-the-top Disney. You also won’t find the characters lines onboard, so if that is a must, consider a Disney Cruise Line ocean
cruise instead. That being said, Disney is a great way to dip your toes into
the European travel scene, without the stress overload of planning a family
European vacation.

Millennials: U by
Uniworld

As of writing this, U by Uniworld is not currently offering
a rive cruise in France, but they have in the past, and there is no indication
that they won’t be again in the future. U by Uniworld is known for their fresh
and unique take on sailing, and that includes mixing up their itineraries to
keep their customers intrigued. Their past French river cruises sailed along
the Seine with stops in Paris and other popular French cities. While their
itineraries are unique, so are their ship experiences. Rooftop bar-b-ques, yoga
and camping are activities you will find on one of their cruises, as well as
mixology classes, street art tours and kayaking. Their décor and excursions are
geared towards the young, and the young-at-heart, so be sure to check out what
is new, and if you see a France trip be sure to get it booked, because things
move fast at U by Uniworld.

Luxury: Crystal Cruises

Crystal Cruises is one of the most luxurious river cruise
brands available. Every detail of a Crystal cruise is planned out with the utmost
care to make sure you feel pampered, and a bit spoiled. Crystal’s cruises are
all-inclusive, allowing more time to relax, and less time trying to access
different amenities. Crystal does not have a large number of itineraries in
France, like some other river cruise lines, but what they do offer is guaranteed
to be exciting. Crystal is known for having excellent food and more options for
dining then most river lines. And because it is all inclusive you don’t have to
think about where you want to dine, you just have to show up and enjoy!

Variety: Viking River
Cruises

Viking is the undisputed leader in river cruising, and if
variety and selection are important to you, then Viking in your line. From
eight-day cruises focused on a specific area, to fifteen-day cruises that
showcase all France has to offer, you are sure to find the perfect French
cruise to satisfy all your desires with Viking. Every detail of a Viking River
Cruise is thoughtfully planned out and they are known for their informative and
friendly staff onboard. If you want to be assured you will have a wonderful river
cruise, choose Viking.

From Our Clients...

Worry Free!

"You folks are incredible and your services outstanding! No one does it better."

– Robert C. - Celebrity Cruise, March 2023

Exceptional support through delayed vacation due to COVID

"Theresa was wonderful. We had been planning this Alaskan cruise since 2019 and then COVID hit and then we were still unsure about 2021 so we waited another year. Theresa took care of everything for us, checking in with us every couple of weeks and making sure that we were getting our checklist taken care of. Thank you, Theresa and TravelPerks Dream Vacations, we had a great time and cannot wait for our next cruise."

– Donna H. - Alaska Cruise, 2022

Ready to go again!

"Words can not explain the marvelous time we had on our very first cruise. Theresa is the best travel agent!! There was not a time when I called with questions that my questions went unanswered. Great customer service, very caring travel agents, always there to help, great prices, and last but not least, I'm ready to go again!!!! If anybody ever needs a travel agent this company will be the only one that I would recommend."

– Shanda - Essex, MD

Assistance every step of the way.

"Although I'm in Florida, Michael Teague assisted us every step of the way. From the beginning of the planning, through the coordinating with family members, getting excursions to fit different family members and even last minute changes to get the best out of this vacation, Michael has been key to us enjoying an amazing family (12) vacation. I will definitely seek him out again!"

Easy and Stress Free!

"I used TravelPerks to book a family vacation and had the pleasure of working with Theresa. She is very knowledgeable and goes out of her way to get you the best deals. I am a customer with lots of questions and she was extremely patient with me and was always prompt answering all my emails. I definitely recommend using TravelPerks for all your vacation needs and their bonus deals are a plus. Thanks Theresa for making vacation planning easy and stress free!"

– Linda - Sacramento, CA

Booking a Vacation is FUN!

"In today’s environment, booking vacations is hard. Why? There are a million and one websites out there that all have information on them. You can look at peer reviews until you are blue in the face. Is this ship really that bad? Is it the best thing ever? Is the resort awesome? Was it an isolated incident? Who knows. And sorting through all of them and figuring out what is real and what is somebody making a mountain out of a molehill takes time.

Which is where Theresa comes in. We love working with her for our vacations. It generally involves a quick phone call giving her a budget and the vibe we are looking for. And then go on an awesome vacation. No pecking through reviews and pricing that should be written in hieroglyphics. Just straight-up advice and no-nonsense planning.

Prior to using Theresa’s team, I would spend hours planning and routing and reading. Now? I pick the phone up or I email the awesome team and they take care of me and we get to enjoy our vacation. If you are booking a large group or an intimate vacation, I highly recommend Theresa and her team. Awesome to do business with and they make vacations FUN!"

– Ben - Atlanta, GA
