The Cruise


During your 7-night journey throughout Southern France, you call on grand cities and quaint villages along the way. Your adventure begins as you fly into Lyon, the closest airport city to your departure point of Chalone-Sur-Saone.

The French Adult Cruise is personally hosted by James & Champagne

The Viking Neptune sails along France’s scenic Saône and Rhône Rivers past some of the most beautiful vineyards and vistas in the French countryside. During your 8-day journey, explore the famed region of Burgundy and the lavender fields of Provence. Visit Gallo-Roman ruins in both Vienne and Arles; walk the cobbled streets of Arles to see how it inspired Vincent van Gogh. And visit the historic Papal Palace in Avignon, “City of the Popes.” Learn about the region’s time-honored winemaking traditions, sample Burgundy varietals and try the famed Provençal cuisine in Lyon. C’est magnifique!

Complete your cruise and extend your fun in Paris or the French Riviera.

Here is a client review of our Danube Cruise in July 2008

This was one cruise that really had it all:

* A fantastic itinerary that started in Budapest and ended in Nuremburg
* A first class 400 foot luxury river vessel with excellent meals and accommodations
* And you never had to wear clothes on board unless you wanted to

How can you beat that! The sun deck of our luxury vessel, the Viking Europe, ran the length of the ship and was filled with deck loungers, perfect for tanning au natural. The fact that you were tanning in the all together while sailing down the romantic Danube made it just that much more fun. The scenery was just incredible. There were even locals doing their own form of au natural tanning on the river banks-this was Europe after all.

While in port one did have to be a bit discreet when running around the ship in the all together but while on the river, there was never a problem. Couples would be relaxing naked in the ship’s library area as well as in the main lounge both before and after dinner. There was always the group from Desert Sun playing naked Scrabble in the ship’s library area for hours on end. When the weather was cool, one could always slip on one of the bath robes thoughtfully placed in your room. A few nights we wore only the robes to dinner. After dinner entertainment in the ship’s lounge and bar area was also clothing optional and the robes would start falling off as one warmed up after a few rounds on the dance floor.

The crew of the Viking Europe was friendly and most accommodating. They often told us during the cruise that this was the most fun group they have ever hosted on the ship

We have been nudists for many years now and have made so many friends in the naturist community. For some reason it is just easier to strike up a friendship with a naked someone you have just met for the first time. It was the same this trip. The people were wonderful and we plan to keep up with a number of people we met on the cruise.

We have already told Castaways to sign us up for the next cruise now planned for 2010.

Editors Note: Editors Note: Thanks to Bob and Jackie for their comments on the 2008 cruise. Despite one (1) day of unseasonably cool, wet weather during the "08 cruise, we found that most passengers still had a wonderful time. The 2010 cruise will be much further South (translate: likely warmer and dryer) and nudity is even more accepted in France than in Germany.
