Third ship to join Trafalgar river cruise fleet in 2027

Trafalgar will add a third river cruise ship to its fleet next year, with the introduction of Trafalgar Harmonie in France.

The vessel will sail on the Seine with a new itinerary, Best of the Seine with Paris & Normandy, debuting in April 2027.

Damien O’Connor, river cruise vice-president, said: “France remains a perennial favourite 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.”

The 126-passenger ship will have a 3:1 guest-to-staff ratio and showcase French culinary traditions onboard.

Excursions will include visits with local families at cider farms in Normandy, Monet’s gardens in Giverny and Normandy’s Second World War beaches.

Clients can also combine land and cruise itineraries, including Trafalgar’s Wonderful France and Villages of France, while optional pre and post extensions in Paris are also available.

Trafalgar will launch its first two river ships in April. Trafalgar Reverie will launch with the Best of the Danube itinerary on April 11, followed by Trafalgar Verity, which will debut with the Best of the Rhine and Amsterdam itinerary on April 12.
