NORMANDY AND GEMS OF THE SEINE GOLF CRUISE
9th to 19th June, 2026
Teed Up has a knack for putting together unforgettable golf tours, blending expertise with a touch of innovation to keep things fresh. Many of our clients have been asking us for a European river golf cruise for a while now so here it is on wonderful Scenic Gem. The Scenic Gem was purpose-built to cruise all the way to beautiful Honfleur along the river Seine. With only 64 suites, you’ll enjoy a more intimate experience along with every all-inclusive 5-star luxury amenity you’ve come to expect on a Scenic Space-Ship.
Enter an enticing adventure: a fully escorted cruise and golf experience that hits all the right notes. Picture this: the thrill of setting sail into the unknown, the sense of freedom as you explore new horizons, and the camaraderie that comes from sharing these moments with fellow travellers. And let’s not forget about the golf – we’re talking 4 great French courses to mix in with the cruise and will be an ideal companion to all the amazing non golfing experiences Scenic has to offer.
This is the perfect tour to bring your non golfing partners along on as every day there a
number of land excursions to choose from including wine and food tours, walking tours and special events, or they can just relax by the pool or in the spa while you play golf!
Some of the many highlights include honouring the past with visits to the Somme Battlefields and the D-Day Beaches as well as a classical concert at the Chateau de La Roche Guyon.
Your Hosts — Jane Lamming and John Grace
John Grace has spent his career in financial services & has recently announced his retirement. John is a single figure handicap golfer and is a member of both Cromer GC & Royal Sydney GC. He went to the Rugby World Cup last year on the Teed Up tour and helped on the golf logistics side and loved it so much now he now wants to host one!
John’s partner, Jane Lamming, has also retired from a career in financial services on the legal side. Whilst not professing to be adding much to the scorecard, Jane has been the perfect member of Pymble GC, ie doesn’t impact the wear and tear of the course much. She is a well travelled sports enthusiast who can organise a restaurant, tour and an event at a moment’s notice. Jane looked after the non golfers on the Teed Up Rugby World Cup experience.
