COSTA MESA, CA — Trafalgar is continuing the expansion of its river cruise portfolio with the introduction of Trafalgar Harmonie and a new Seine itinerary, set to debut in April 2027. 

According to Damien O’Connor, Vice President, River Cruise at Trafalgar, the new program strengthens the brand’s presence in Europe and gives travel advisors another option to meet ongoing demand for France-focused travel.

“As Trafalgar expands its river cruise fleet, debuting on one of Europe’s most iconic waterways is a natural next step. France remains a perennial favorite among our travellers, and this new Seine itinerary offers a fresh way to experience the destination through immersive river cruising, brought to life with Trafalgar’s signature experiences and storytelling,” said O’Connor.

Trafalgar Harmonie will sail with 126 passengers and offers a 3:1 guest-to-staff ratio, emphasizing personalized service and a relaxed onboard atmosphere. The ship features seven cabin categories, with river views from every stateroom, and interiors inspired by soft blues, greens and earth tones. French culinary traditions are highlighted onboard, while shared spaces such as the lounge and sundeck are designed for taking in the scenery along the Seine.

On shore, as part of the new ‘Best of the Seine with Paris & Normandy’, itinerary, guests will explore Paris and Normandy accompanied by Trafalgar’s Experience Director and Experience Manager. Included experiences feature Be My Guest visits with local families at cider farms in Normandy and a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience in Paris centred on historic preservation and sustainable urban planning. Additional highlights include visits to Monet’s gardens in Giverny and the Normandy WWII beaches.

The itinerary is designed to allow seamless combination with Trafalgar land programs, including Wonderful France and Villages of France, giving travellers the option to experience the destination by both river and road. Optional pre and post extensions in London and Paris are also available, with transfers included.
