The jewel in the crown of the 2024 Renaissance Tours repertoire is a privately chartered French Impressionism Art Cruise that will sail on the Seine River through Normandy next May. Marking 150 years since the Impressionist art movement began, the anniversary art-focused cruise will be hosted by Julie Ewington, former Head of Australian Art at QAGOMA, journalist and curator. Early in her career, Ewington taught the work of Impressionist painters Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt and has vast knowledge of modern and contemporary art. The river journey will offer travellers a glimpse into the worlds of Monet, Cezanne, Pissarro, Van Gogh and Gaugin, giving travellers panoramic views of the landscapes and cities that inspired these luminaries to create some of the world’s most seminal works.
