NOTICE: Important Update on Nymphea’s Cruising Schedule
Due to long-term damage to navigation infrastructure from flooding and other operational challenges, Nymphea will no longer be able to cruise along her current itinerary on the River Cher in the Loire Valley. As a result, the 2025 cruising season is cancelled.
Nymphea has been transported to Brittany and we will have more information soon.
Alternative cruising itineraries for 2026 are being actively researched and we will provide further information as it becomes available.
