Excursion Exclusive overland: an evening with marie antoinette tour at Rouen

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

This truly once in a lifetime experience will begin with a late afternoon departure from Silver Dawn in the Port of Rouen on 14-April and a brief 1.5 Hour Transfer to your overnight Accommodation. For guests purchasing the overnight experience we're pleased to provide overnight accommodation in the Five Star, Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace, situated on the perimeter of Versailles' famed Gardens. Following an Afternoon at leisure guests will transfer to the Palace for a private tour of the staterooms before joining your fellow guests for a bespoke and period appropriate dinner in the Gallery of the Battles. Imagine enjoying the world-renowned architecture and art collection with no more than 350 of your fellow Silversea guests when an average day at the palace hosts over 15,000 visitors.

 A true multicourse, Gastronomic experience curated by none other than Potel eh Chabot, France's most celebrated catering company with ties to 1856 as Napolean III's preferred caterer. A true meal fit for the Royal Court of Versailles will unfold with period music and minuets in what is sure to be a memorable evening.

The next morning, following breakfast, guests will have the opportunity to return to Rouen or spend an afternoon in Paris at leisure where we have made arrangements to drop guests off and pick them up adjacent to Plaza Vendome.
