Our take
A straightforward Paris base for people who do not need a tour but do want the hotel chosen, breakfast handled and someone local to ask. The Seine cruise is the only included sightseeing — the rest is optional and priced separately — so read the price as hotel plus breakfast plus a cruise. It pairs naturally with the Normandy D-Day tour, which also starts in Paris.
Highlights
- 1 UNESCO World Heritage site on the route: Paris Banks of the Seine
- Seine river cruise — an open ticket usable any day of your stay
- 3 nights in the listed hotel, 3 breakfasts
- 47 departures currently open across 2026 and 2027, from $799 per person, land only — flights from home not included
Who this trip suits
- Independent travelers who want a well-located Paris hotel without researching arrondissements
- People combining Paris with the WWII D-Day tour or a river cruise
- Couples celebrating something who want their own schedule
- First-timers who like having a Local Host to call for restaurant and ticket advice
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone expecting guided sightseeing beyond the Seine cruise — museums and Versailles are optional extras
- Travelers who want transfers included; they are add-ons
- Families expecting programming for kids
- Those who want a group and a Tour Director

Questions we get about this trip
Is airfare included?
No. Every price on this page is land-only. We quote flights from Fort Lauderdale or Miami with your dates, and Globus can add airport transfers when the air is on their booking.
What sightseeing is included?
An open ticket for a one-hour Seine cruise, usable any day of your stay. Louvre, Versailles, Giverny and Disneyland Paris are offered as optional excursions with skip-the-line entry where noted.
Can we combine it with Normandy?
Yes — Globus's WWII D-Day Landing Beaches tour starts and ends in Paris, and we often book the two back to back.
How much walking is there?
Expect a lot of walking on your own — city stays are on foot, on cobbles and steps. If that is a concern, tell us before you commit and we will talk it through rather than hope for the best.
Which dates are cheapest?
Prices vary by departure — the dates table on this page is read from Globus's own feed, so what you see is current. Shoulder-season departures are usually the lower-priced ones; any Small Group departures cost more.
What if we need to cancel?
Globus's published terms apply and the fee schedule depends on the departure and whether air is booked through them. We link the terms rather than restate them, and we walk you through the exact figures on your reservation before you pay a deposit.
Cancellation policy
Globus' published Travel Terms & Conditions apply. Deposit amounts, final payment dates and the cancellation fee schedule vary by product and departure date, and differ again for air booked through Globus; the exact figures are confirmed on your reservation. Full terms: globusjourneys.com/terms
