France and Portugal in depth
From the unique culture and traditions of Normandy to the fertile countryside of Bordeaux and the sun-drenched vines of the Douro, this extended cruise will immerse you in the wonders of two fascinating nations.
Departing from Paris, you’ll cruise through Normandy along River Seine between the City of Light and the English Channel. Explore the sombre legacy of WWII at the Normandy beaches, feel inspired by the house and garden of Monet, explore the grand chateau that was once home to Napoleon, and see the spectacular ‘City ‘of Light, Paris. Then journey to Bordeaux where you’ll cycle through picturebook landscapes, learn the winemaking process and sample delicious fare prepared with French finesse along the Gironde, Dordogne and Garonne rivers. Finish on Portugal’s Douro River, sipping traditional Port wine, meeting locals who have been plying their trade for centuries, sample authentic and honest regional fare, and receive a warm welcome from people passionate about their heritage.
