The French landscape will be even more enticing in 2017, thanks to the addition of golf options to the Uniworld eight–day Paris & Normandy itinerary, part of the company’s Boutique River Cruise Collection. Sailing aboard the new Uniworld S.S. Joie de Vivre, making her debut in March 2017, guests can choose the Go Active golf program and enjoy time on the links while cruising through scenic France. Simplifying the packing dilemma, golf equipment for both men and women is available on board Uniworld. Play takes place on two beloved European courses: Golf de Rouen Mont-Saint-Aignan in Rouen and Golf d’Etretat overlooking the coast in Étretat. There’s plenty to do between rounds. The luxury river cruise itinerary includes visits to the former home of artist Monet to tours the gardens that inspired so many of his paintings, a hike to Chateau Gaillard to wander among the ruins of Richard the Lionheart’s 12th century stronghold, a tour of historic Omaha Beach, time to enjoy the history of Rouen and its medieval quarter and the bronze cross that commemorates the location of Joan of Arc’s demise, exploration of the lovely seaside town of Honfleur and St. Catherine’s Church, constructed by shipwrights; a journey to Auvers-sur-Oise, where Vincent van Gogh was inspired and spent the last few months of his life; and Paris, where tour choices include Luxembourg Gardens, the Latin Quarter and Paris’ numerous historic sites including Notre Dame Cathedral.
