About Vernon
Vernon has established itself as a charming port of call along the Seine, welcoming passengers from three major river cruise lines including Viking River Cruises, Emerald Cruises, and Amadeus River Cruises. With over 840 upcoming cruises calling at this picturesque Norman town, Vernon serves as a popular stop on seven-night itineraries that explore the Seine's most celebrated destinations, from the cultural treasures of Paris to the medieval charm of Rouen and the dramatic cliffs of Les Andelys.
During your time ashore in Vernon, you'll discover a quintessentially French riverside village that perfectly captures the essence of Normandy. The town's most famous landmark, Monet's House and Gardens, draws art lovers from around the world, while the charming old town invites leisurely strolls along cobblestone streets lined with local cafés and shops. September and October represent peak visiting months, though summer cruises from June through August offer their own appeal for those seeking warm weather exploration along this storied river.
