The Bon Voyage! France Family River Cruises are offered by Tauck Bridges. The program is suitable for families traveling with children ages 8 and over.

According to Tauck, the concept behind Tauck Bridges is to create unique travel experiences that allow family members to “share enrichment” opportunities through common experiences that allow family members to build strong, inter-generational bonds (or “bridges”).

Tauck Bridges 2013 collection offers new river cruise itinerary

Cruise guests can set sail in 2013 on July 11, July 25 and August 1. Pricing starts at $4,690 USD per person.

Cruise Buzz says: I think this is a great idea for families with some extra cash and a desire to see France up-close and personal. I would go with my kids in a heartbeat.

The Bon Voyage: France Family River Cruise offers 2 nights in Paris and a 7-night river cruise.  Following the tour of Paris, guests travel by train to Lyon, where they’ll board Tauck’s MS Swiss Emerald for a seven-night cruise on the Rhône.
