Day 3: Rouen – Medieval Discoveries With U by Uniworld
There was some confusion this morning over the time to meet for the kayaking excursion along the Eure River. We were due to meet at 8:15 to head ashore, but the ship was delayed and the meeting time was changed to 9:45. Sadly without much notice, the meeting time was changed to 9:20. I missed the excursion, but in a way it was a blessing.

I had a relaxing afternoon on deck as we continued to sail to Rouen where we would now arrive at 3pm.

Excellent service, good food, interesting excursions and good speakers. Not luxurious but good value for money. Not a cruise for those who want casinos and dancing girls but for more serious-minded and, dare I say, older travellers.
