We'll cover: The ship — cabins, suites, dining, and onboard spaces, straight from Riviera The full 8-day itinerary, Paris to Normandy and back The D-Day beach excursions — Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Longues-sur-Mer Pricing, what's included, and how the $600 deposit works Why you shouldn't book flights yet Our partnership with Middle Georgia Honor Flight
Come with the practical questions — how much walking, solo traveler options, dining, anything. With Bruce on the call you're getting answers straight from the cruise line.
It's free, it's about 45 minutes, and you'll leave knowing whether this trip is for you.

WWII SEINE RIVER CRUISE
Aboard the 5-Star MS Jane Austen | Riviera Travel
8 Days | Paris to Normandy | June 18, 2028
Some places change you forever. This is one of them.
The Seine River has witnessed it all — occupation and resistance, sacrifice and liberation, darkness and the most triumphant dawn in modern history. Now it's your turn to sail it.
This is not just a river cruise. This is a front-row seat to history's greatest story — experienced in extraordinary luxury, shared across generations, and crafted with a purpose that goes far beyond the itinerary.
WHY WE CHOSE RIVIERA TRAVEL
We don't recommend what we haven't experienced ourselves. The Barker Travel Crew personally met with Riviera Travel's leadership, sailed their ships, and fell in love with everything they do. Their cuisine is exceptional. Their service is genuine. Their attention to every detail is unmatched in river cruising. We chose them because we believe you deserve the very best — and Riviera Travel delivers it every single time.
THE JOURNEY
Sail to the fortress of Château Gaillard, rising above the Seine like a sentinel of history. Walk the streets of Rouen — where Monet painted his famous cathedral and Joan of Arc made her last stand. Stroll the village of Caudebec as evening falls over the Norman countryside.
Then comes the moment this entire voyage builds toward — the D-Day beaches at Bayeux and Arromanches. Stand on the sand at Omaha Beach. Feel the weight of what happened here. Let it move you the way it was always meant to.
Discover the pastel harbor of Honfleur, step into Monet's breathtaking water gardens at Giverny, wander the charming streets of Vernon — and finish where it all began, the incomparable City of Light, Paris.
Eight days. Sacred waters. A journey your family will talk about for the rest of your lives.
Deposit: $600 per person to hold your space, final payment due 90 days prior to sailing.
