Cruise 'N Walk: combine cruising and hiking
The rivers often flow through the middle of valleys lined with remarkably beautiful hills. It therefore makes sense to combine the tranquility of a laid-back cruise with energetic discovery walks.
CroisiRando cruises include:
- All hiking excursions on the itinerary.
- Supervision by one or more approved mountain guides
- Guided tours and excursions: this is the "non-walker" programme
- Full board
The point of a walking cruise is not to break any world records, but to get up close and personal with the unique landscape through invigorating treks. Day-long walks are available on certain cruises. So that no travel companions are left behind, we also offer guided tours and excursions as part of our 'non-walker' program.
Walkers are led by one or more certified mountain guides. We'll also provide an onboard presentation about the history and flora to be encountered along the way. Each walking cruise has been pre-tested by a renowned French hiking club.

Between river and trails, set off on an unforgettable cruise that combines the charm of a river journey with the pleasure of hiking. From Lyon to Arles, passing through the jewels of the Rhône Valley and southern Burgundy, this trip invites you to discover in a different way the natural, cultural and historical treasures of southeastern France. Each day offers a stop rich in discoveries: from urban walks through the history of Lyon, to spectacular views from the Roche de Solutré, through the wild magic of the Camargue and the serenity of the Alpilles. Whether you're a passionate hiker or a curious walker, the excursions are designed to offer each guest a unique perspective on the landscapes encountered. Sail gently along the Saône and the Rhône, between picturesque villages, exceptional terroirs, and emblematic sites, all while enjoying the comfort of a welcoming boat, an attentive crew, and a friendly atmosphere.
