We did the last cruise of season in March of 2023. Saw the northern lights on 5 nights of the trip but of course thats unpredictable. Alta and Tromso were great cities to visit and we loved the trip. Hope you get to go.

Just wanted to thank everyone who has responded with suggestions for our short visit to Paris. We have read all the suggestions and went into this with the realization that we will need a much longer time in Paris to really see and experience the city. We have tentatively planned to follow a path roughly like the route @DGHOCsuggested and possibly take the Batobus suggested by @formernuke. Mostly we are hoping to do a little walking after the long bus ride to get to Paris and will definitely set aside a little time to sit and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine while soaking in a little of the vibe of Paris. We are going to do less rather than kill ourselves trying to see everything. Any further suggestions are certainly welcome. Thanks everyone for the input

We considered the HOHO option but decided with only 3-4 hours we'd likely spend most of the time just seeing things from the bus. Plus we have read a few horror stories about being stuck in traffic. It is definitely our plan to return for a multiple day visit but we aren't getting younger and there is a whole lot of the world we also hope to see.

Totally agree that we will not really see Paris. We get off the ship at 8:30 am and get back at 7 pm. We have already decided that if we can see the eiffel tower and take a stroll along the seine and possibly the Champs de elysees we will be satisfied. Not really even going to try to see too much. Hopefully we will be able to return for a longer stay but the craziness of the last few years has taught us to enjoy what we can when we can

We are booked for the included trip to Paris for our upcoming Trade Routes Cruise. While I agree that the long ride to get there and back is going to make it challenging to see much, we decided that this may be our only chance to see Paris. Does anyone know where we will be dropped off in Paris? I've been looking at a map of Paris to come up with an idea of what we might be able to see. Any suggestions from anyone who did this excursion?

Thanks for all the daily posts. I've followed along from the very beginning of your odyssey. Truly the trip of a lifetime. If you are ever headed to the northeast coast of Florida I'd love to buy you a drink.
