Paris to Normandy Ryder Cup Golf Cruise
Luxury 10 Night Tour with 5 Golf Games
Plus Attendance at Final 2 Days of Ryder Cup
23 September to 3 October 2018
from A$10,679 per person twin share
Trendsetter Travel & Cruise Centre invites you to join us on this luxury Paris
and Normandy golf cruise, including attendance at the final 2 days of the
Ryder Cup at Le Golf National, a 30 minute drive from your luxury river ship
berth in Paris. After 7 nights on board Uniworld’s boutique 128 guest ship
S.S. Joie de Vivre, and immediately following the completion of the Ryder
Cup, you will transfer to the luxurious Relais & Chateau property, Auberge du
Jeu de Palme, Chantilly for a 3 night stay with 2 games of golf. Uniworld, a
leader in luxury river cruising, is regularly rated the world’s best river cruise line. S.S. Joie de Vivre
was launched in 2017 and is currently the most luxurious river ship sailing the Seine.
Your cruise includes all meals and
beverages (standard alcoholic and non-
alcoholic), gratuities, wifi, shore
excursions, use of an on-board fitness
centre and, for those in suites, a dedicated
and highly trained butler. The 3 night
Chantilly stay includes breakfast and
dinner daily. In addition, guests will enjoy
5 rounds of golf, coach transfers, prize
money, and drinks post golf. There will
also be a Virtuoso on-board ship credit of
A$260 pp, converted to Euro for your
personal use at either the Serenity Spa,
the boutique or perhaps for an additional
bespoke dining experience.
Golfers should not be concerned about joining the tour with non-golfing partners as the
complimentary shore excursions ensure that partners will be kept well entertained. Similarly,
Chantilly is a delightful town to explore or, given it is but 30 minutes by train from Paris, there is also
the opportunity for a day excursion to the City of Light.
Attractive pricing options exist for single travellers.
Because we will play some of France’s most famous and traditional private courses, motorised cart
hire is not possible at some courses. Caddies and electric/pull buggy hire alternatives are available
on those occasions.
Trendsetter will be happy to organise additional nights pre and post tour at advantageous rates, and
some with special benefits, so that you can make the most of your time in Europe.
Your tour hosts Nancy and Greg Incoll are
talented, enthusiastic golfers. They have
golfed throughout the world, and maintain
homes in both Sydney and St Andrews,
with membership at The New South Wales
Golf Club and their St Andrews golf club.
They invite you to join them on this lovely
cruise that is sure to provide many
wonderful experiences and memories for
participants.
Itinerary Day 1 – Sunday 23 September 2018 – Paris Arrive independently in Paris. Complimentary airport transfer is available. Enjoy a get together with Greg and Nancy, and fellow golf cruise tour participants, prior to dinner. Day 2– Monday 24 September 2018 – Vernon – Giverny – Les Andelys After cruising through the night, wake up at the riverside town of Vernon where your inclusive tour (at your option by either bike or coach) will take you to Giverny and Monet’s Garden. After a pleasant couple of hours touring Monet’s Garden and home, you will return to the S.S. Joie de Vivre for lunch and an afternoon cruise to Les Andelys, another lovely rural village adjoining the Seine. The more adventurous of you might choose to climb up to Chateau Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart’s historic 12th century castle. However, there is coach transportation for those unable or unwilling to walk. The stunning views of the Seine and the French countryside from atop the stronghold are not to be missed. Day 3 – Tuesday 25 September 2018 – Rouen – Golf Saint Saens We berth early this morning in Rouen, the medieval town where St Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Our extended stay should allow you to participate in an informative walking tour before the golfers are driven to Saint Saens golf course. Day 4 – Wednesday 26 September 2018 – Caudebec- En Caux – Golf d’Etretat After a drive through the scenic Normandy countryside, we visit the lovely seaside town of Etretat and play a round of golf at Golf d’Etretat. Located on top of the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, this is one of the world’s most stunning golf locations and rivals the views from Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand. Non-golfers will visit the beautiful fishing village of Honfleur, located at the mouth of the Seine.
Day 5 – Thursday 27 September 2018 – Rouen – Normandy Beaches Outside of the Ryder Cup, the highlight of this cruise for many will be the full day spent exploring the Normandy landing beaches. While there are many touring options, we encourage you to include Omaha, Pointe du Hoc and the main Omaha Beach American cemetery with its excellent museum. Day 6 – Friday 28 September 2018 – Mantes-la-Jolie – Golf de Saint Germain We berth this morning at Mantes-la-Jolie. Unless you would prefer to visit the Palace of Versailles, today offers another opportunity to golf at one of Paris’ most famous golf courses. We are booked to play the Harry Colt (he of Pine Valley fame) designed Golf de Saint Germain which was remodelled in the 1990s to return the course to a more classic Colt design. This course is private and ranked # 6 in all of France – it has hosted 9 French Open Tournaments including the famous event won by Seve Bellesteros with a 62 in the final round. We will return to the S.S. Joie de Vivre to discover the results of the 1st round matches of the Ryder Cup. Overnight we sail up the river to berth in Paris 30 minutes from Le Golf National and the site of the 2018 Ryder Cup. Day 7 – Saturday 29 September 2018 – Paris – Ryder Cup Your coach will depart after an early breakfast to arrive at Le Golf National in time for the opening foursomes matches. The 4 ball matches will be played during the afternoon, after which you will be coached back to the S.S. Joie de Vivre for cocktails and dinner. For the non-golfers, there are various guided tour options of Paris including a cruise and city tour, a walking tour and a cycle tour along the Left Bank. Of course, there are also opportunities for independent exploring in Paris, including visits to one or more of the many famous art museums and galleries. Tonight enjoy a final dinner on board the S.S. Joie de Vivre.
Day 8 – Sunday 30 September 2018 – Paris – Ryder Cup While your cruise ends this morning, your tour does not. You will depart SS Joie de Vivre for Le Golf National and the climactic day of 12 singles matches, arriving at least one hour prior to commencement of play. On conclusion of the golf, the golfers will be transferred to Chantilly at the lovely Auberge du Jeu de Paume (http://aubergedujeudepaumechantilly.fr). Your luggage and golf clubs, and non-golfing partners, will have been transferred earlier in the day. Day 9 – Monday 1 October 2018 - Chantilly – Golf de Chantilly – Vineuil Course After a hearty breakfast, we travel to the nearby 36 hole Golf de Chantilly. Mid-morning, we are scheduled to play the Vineuil Course which is rated in the top 3 in France and the top 5 in all of Europe. The course was founded in 1909 with the site laid out by the renowned English golf course architect Tom Simpson. Famous for its penal bunkering, it retains its English feel and has been the venue for many French Golf Opens. For the non-golfers, there will be an opportunity to visit the nearby Chateau de Chantilly, one of the best chateaus in all France and an 1870s rebuild of the original which was destroyed in the French Revolution. The chateau features a collection of over 800 masterpieces of European art.
Day 10 – Tuesday 2 October 2018 – Chantilly – Golf de Chantilly – Longeres Course Today we will play golf at Golf de Chantilly’s 2nd, but still highly rated, Longeres Course – rebuilt under the guidance of Donald Steel in the late 1980s. For the non-golfers, it is a free day. An option may be to include a train ride to Paris and spend the day exploring the Parisian shops. Tonight, we will hold our tour farewell dinner. Day 11 – Wednesday 3 October 2018 – Chantilly – Tour Ends Say goodbye and enjoy a complimentary transfer to either Charles de Gaulle airport or Paris.

The above cruise fares are based upon shared twin/double and incorporate a 10% discount which requires prepayment at the time of
booking. As this is a group booking, all cruise payments must be made directly to Trendsetter Travel. If you do not wish to take advantage
of the 10% prepayment discount, a 10% deposit is payable with the balance due at least 120 days prior to departure. Up until 120 days
from departure, the cruise can be cancelled and all cruise payments refunded less an A$250 pp cancellation charge. The payment of the
A$250 cancellation fee results in a credit of A$250 which can be applied to any Uniworld cruise over the following 5 years. The golf
package requires a non-refundable payment of A$2,550 pp (50%). This is non-refundable as the deposit will fund the purchase of non-
refundable costs such as Ryder Cup tickets, hotel, golf and coach deposits. The balance of the golf package is payable at least 120 days
prior to departure.
Cruise prices subject to change until deposit paid and price locked in. In particular, the 10% prepayment incentive is subject to removal at

TRAVEL INSURANCE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
Uniworld General Terms and Conditions (including cancellation provisions etc) can be found on

The package price does NOT include golf club hire, or cart/electric/pull buggy hire but does include prize money and drinks
post golf. Golf will be played on the courses as specified but Trendsetter cannot be held responsible for any cancellation/s
necessitated by a change to the ship’s itinerary due to weather or any other event, or late amendment by the golf course.
If such an event occurs and, in the unlikely event, Trendsetter cannot organise an alternative golf course of equivalent or
better standard, Trendsetter will pass through any refund available. When on tour, where a tour participant chooses not
to play a particular golf course, we will make a refund less any non-refundable amount.
