Cruise Description
Our Journey Planners have designed this cruise to showcase the rivers and cities of France and Portugal. From navigating the picturesque Seine – restricted to smaller ships like Balmoral – and the Garonne to meandering along the Douro on a tour and marvelling at views of Lisbon from the Tagus, scenic waterways await in abundance. Immerse yourself in local life, savouring pastéis de nata and riding the iconic trams in Lisbon, and delving into Parisian culture from Rouen. A rich history of port and fine-wine production can be uncovered in Oporto and Bordeaux. The latter invites exploration of wineries, wine museums, and the picturesque Saint-Émilion village nestled in the heart of the wine region.
