As described by Victor Hugo, Bordeaux combines the best of wealthy Versailles and elegance of Antwerp.
Between terroir and cultural discoveries, our cruises from Bordeaux on the Garonne River, the Dordogne River and the Gironde, will help you discover the French traditions and France’s “Sleeping Beauty” in a new light.
Located in the region of Aquitaine, in Southwest France, the city’s name is synonymous world over with the French well-known red wine produced in the region so it is no surprise that the world of wines and vineyards is in the spotlight: our wine cruise will allow you to discover some of the best Bordeaux wines along with the prestigious vineyards of the Médoc and Sauternes. A stop on the famous road of the castles of the region is planned for a wine tasting. This is also an opportunity to discover Saint-Emilion, known for its great wine and its Romanesque churches and where you can explore a cavernous underground church that’s the largest of its kind in Europe. The region is also home to some of the best French pastries, so why not treat yourself with Blaye’s pralines or sweet caramel crusted cakes, called the cannelés?
If Bordeaux is heaven for food lovers and wine afficionados, nature is also at the heart of these cruises, with the discovery of the Gironde estuary, the Bassin d'Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat. Between oyster tasting and hiking in the Gironde region in the heart of Aquitaine, these cruises are always characterized by the comfort and the quality of welcome of the CroisiEurope fleet in Aquitaine.
CroisiEurope also offers you the opportunity to discover the beauties of the region during the end-of-year celebrations. Whether you wish to discover the region under the sun or prefer to celebrate the winter holidays in the South-West of France, CroisiEurope offers you many options!
