Cruise Description

16 days | Bremerhaven - Amsterdam - Zebrugge - Dover - Honfleur - Jersey - Guernsey - St. Malo - Brest - Bilbao - Gijon - Porto - Lisbon

Discover a new world every day and still not change continents? This cruise along the west coast of Europe on the VASCO DA GAMA makes it possible! It starts in Bremerhaven and pays a visit to the world metropolises of Amsterdam and London. It then goes on to the picturesque artists` village of Honfleur and stops at the impressive fortress of Saint-Malo. It ends in the fado capital of Lisbon and the port wine mecca of Porto with the art stronghold of Bilbao and the red wine center of Bordeaux along the way. You can't fit more variety into 16 days: the Middle Ages and modern times, port wine and fish & chips, bustling metropolises and quiet towns. And much, much more.

Highlights:
- With the VASCO DA GAMA you will sail to several world-famous destinations in one trip: Bilbao, Bordeaux, Saint-Malo, London, Bruges and Amsterdam.
- Excursions into the surrounding countryside provide a profound insight into the history and stories of Western Europe away from the tourist strongholds.
- In the Picos de Europa National Park experience impressive rock formations and - with a bit of luck - emblematic animals like the brown bear and the Iberian wolf up close.
- In Bilbao, home to one of the world`s three Guggenheim museums, marvel at architecture and art.
- The opportunity to directly feel the fascination of the world famous pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela.
