I spent over $4,800 to go on an 8-day river cruise through France with my retired parents, and it was the ideal multigenerational trip

Last year, my mom suggested we take a river cruise called the Viking Skaga. Its eight-day "Paris & the Heart of Normandy" itinerary along the Seine starts and ends in Paris and includes small towns in Normandy — such as La Roche-Guyon, Vernon, and Rouen.
I knew this trip would help me reconnect and create lasting memories with my retired parents, who are both in their early 70s. So my mom, my dad, my partner, and I booked the cruise in 2022, with a departure date nearly a year later in March 2023.
My partner and my parents paid for their own travels, so the total cost for my portion of the trip came out to $4,852 after applying a promotion.
That price included my cruise fare, all onboard meals and snacks, round-trip airfare, airport transfers, travel insurance, gratuities, a free shore excursion at every port, an alcoholic beverage package, and one optional shore excursion.
Here's what the experience was like.
