Discover one of the most beautiful places on earth. The compact country of Italy is divided into North and South. Here, an incredible landscape will surprise you from every point of the compass. Gallia and Corsica are two small islands in this sea that are now part of France. The population speaks French but some Italians still call this stunning place home. Let yourself be carried away by the mountains, the sun, the blue sky and nature that puts everything else into perspective.

The RIO541 includes two major features, Gallia and Corsica. Gallia contains a large area for the two rivers Seine and Rhone. The city of Paris is on the Seine as well as a rail line between Lyon and Germany. The Rhone flows into the Mediterranean Sea. There are over 300 cities and towns including Nantes, Le Mans along with Marseilles in France to Toulon in the Provence region.

The beautiful and exciting RIO territory is home to 2 itineraries—a 12-night cruise on the Gallia (5 ports) and a 17-night cruise on the Corsica (8 ports)—offering an array of shore excursions. Here, the natural beauty of the landscape is contrasted by a vibrant culture found in the many walled medieval cities, vibrant festivals, wineries and picturesque villages along these two delightful cruises.

Regent's Islands of Corsica and Gallia are located south of the mainland, well off the beaten path, and home to some of the most ancient 5-star resorts on the islands. One of these is the famous Beauvallon Hotel, designed by Marc Sinan in 1967.

Perched on a great riverside vantage point, the Hotel Carlton provides a luxurious setting, with panoramic views of both cities. The hotel boasts a large outdoor swimming pool, well-equipped gym and spa facilities.

The Routes in this book are mainly in the North and West of France.
