Golf Encounters

The coffee is still warm. Paris is still asleep. And the Eiffel Tower is just beginning to catch the light.

From the open deck of the AMADEUS Diamond, the Seine moves slowly beneath you. Stone embankments glow pale gold. A mist lifts off the water. Somewhere below, the city is stirring, but up here it is only you, the railing, and the river.

This is the quiet hour our guests talk about long after they have flown home. Not the courses. Not the dinners. This.

Our Majestic French Golf River Cruise sails throughout France on the luxury AMADEUS ships, weaving championship golf into two weeks of unhurried river travel. Golfers play. Travelling companions explore. Everyone returns to the same ship, the same dinner, the same view from the deck.

Some mornings, the best part of the trip happens before tee time.

The Eiffel Tower just appeared around the bend. Glass in hand. Nowhere to be.

This is the part of a golf trip you don't see in the scorecard. The slow drift down the Seine after a day on the course, Paris turning gold around you, the deck of the AMADEUS Diamond quiet except for the clink of a wine glass on the railing.

Our Majestic French Golf River Cruise sails 15 to 30 June 2027, 15 nights throughout France. Championship courses by day. A floating hotel by evening, with your cabin unpacking itself only once while the scenery keeps changing outside the window.

Golfers come for the fairways. Travelling companions come for afternoons like this one. Both leave with the same look on their faces.

If a Parisian dusk from the deck of a river cruise sounds like your kind of golf holiday, we'd love to tell you more.

Our Japan is underway and the first course to play was the Rokko course, north of Kobe.
