MS Bizet

The MS Bizet cruise ship is owned and operated by Grand Circle Cruise Line and accommodates up to 120 passengers, served by a crew of 33. The riverboat (ENI number 07001815) was purpose-built to navigate the winding Seine River in France. Her itineraries feature departures from Honfleur and Paris, visiting scenic destinations such as Rouen and Giverny.

The vessel is owned by Grand Circle Corporation through its subsidiary, Grand Circle Travel USA, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

Cabins

MS Bizet accommodates 120 passengers in 60 outside-facing staterooms. Each cabin features two single berths that fold out from opposite walls at night (not convertible to a double bed) and fold away during the day, leaving space for two small sofas. Although compact, the cabins are designed for comfort and functionality. Staterooms on the Soprano Deck feature floor-to-ceiling windows and a private 16 sq. ft. balcony.

Shipboard Facilities and Amenities

Complimentary beverages—including bottled water, tea, coffee, soft drinks, premium spirits, and select fine wines—are available throughout the cruise. The ship has one restaurant, offering open seating for all guests at once. Vegetarian, healthy, and special dietary menus are available upon request.

Onboard facilities include a bar, lounge, elevator, library, and Sun Deck. MS Bizet is staffed by an international crew of 33 and three English-speaking Program Directors. Passengers explore the beauty of France in small groups of up to 45 travelers, each guided by an expert resident Program Director. As part of the itinerary, “home-hosted visits” allow guests to divide into smaller groups and visit local residents in their homes for an authentic cultural experience.
