    Your day at a glance

    Designed specifically for Avignon river cruise guests, this compact shore excursion takes you to one of the most extraordinary Roman monuments in Europe: the Roman Theatre of Orange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its monumental stage wall and remarkable state of preservation.

    Just a short drive north of Avignon, the town of Orange was once an important Roman settlement. Traveling in a premium air-conditioned minivan with your professional English-speaking driver-guide, you will enjoy a smooth and scenic transfer, with historical context provided en route.

    Upon arrival, enjoy a self-guided visit of the Roman Theatre, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Standard entry tickets provide access to the theatre and interpretation areas, often complemented by an audio guide, making the visit informative without the constraints of a fixed guided tour. Time on site is carefully calibrated to allow a thorough yet unrushed discovery of this exceptional monument.

    Walking is easy and optional, and no lunch is included in order to keep the excursion compact and perfectly aligned with river cruise schedules. The tour is carefully timed to ensure a relaxed experience and a punctual return to your river cruise ship in Avignon.
