The highlights of this cruise

Great artists, great history, great enjoyment – Europe’s west coast beckons with many superlatives. Let your preferences inspire you and enjoy the culture and culinary delights in Bilbao and Bordeaux.

From Portugal, you will set course for LA CORUNA in northern Spain. Explore Galicia’s traditions or follow the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela*. A magnet for art lovers is BILBAO, where the futuristic Guggenheim Museum* is a masterpiece in itself. BORDEAUX is a perfect combination of nature, culinary enjoyment and culture. Wander through the romantic old town or join us for a wine tasting at the Chateau La Dauphine*. On the Channel Island of GUERNSEY, a discovery tour by vintage bus* awaits, surprising you just as much with its scenic beauty as neighbouring JERSEY. Let yourself be tempted to explore the pretty narrow streets in the French town of HONFLEUR before you get to know AMSTERDAM in one of the most beautiful ways – a canal cruise* provides unique views of the historic buildings. After a day at sea, you’ll reach HAMBURG.

* The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
