Your 12 Night Itinerary:
Day 1 Southampton, England: Southampton is a
bustling port city bursting with history as well as shopping opportunities,
great restaurants and superb pubs. Nearby you'll find the quaint
town of Windsor, where you can visit the many boutiques of High
Street or enjoy a tour of historic Windsor Castle.
Day 2 Paris (Le Havre), France: The allure and
romance of Paris are legendary. This capital city of France is
home to innumerable museums, such as the Louvre, Musne d'Orsay,
Musne Picasso and Musne Rodin, parks and gardens, including the
Tuileries Garden on the banks of the Seine and the Left Bank Luxembourg
Garden, as well as monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the
Arc de Triomphe.
Day 3 Paris (Le Havre), France
Day 4 At Sea: Relax in our impressive AquaSpa
and let us transport you to a whole new world with treatments
inspired by rituals from exotic cultures. Discover a state of
complete tranquility as you experience a luxurious spa afloat.
Day 5 Bordeaux (Le Verdon), France: The city
of Bordeaux is stunning when approached from the south along the
river. The
narrow streets of the eighteenth-century city are lined with grand
mansions from Bordeaux's glory days, and the whole of the city
centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Aside from the aesthetic
appeal of its old centre, some excellent museums, some even finer
restaurants and a fantastic nightlife make Bordeaux an absorbing
town, well worth a few days of anybody's time.
Day 6 Bordeaux (Le Verdon), France:
Day 7 Bilbao, Spain: Stretching 14km along the
narrow valley of the Río Nervión, Bilbao is a large city that
rarely feels like one, its urban sprawl having engulfed a series
of once-separate communities. Even in the city centre you can
always see green mountain slopes beyond the high-rises. Though
Bilbao originally started out as a cluster of fishing villages
on the left bank of the river, what's generally regarded as the
old town – the Casco Viejo, which grew up between the fourteenth
and nineteenth centuries – lies across the river on the east bank.
Day 8 Bilbao, Spain:
Day 9 Vigo, Spain: Few cities enjoy such a magnificent
natural setting as Vigo. Arrayed along the sloping southern shoreline
of its namesake estuary, it enjoys superb views not only of the
bay itself, surrounded by green forest ridges, but also out towards
the ocean. It's undeniably magnificent when seen from a ship entering
the harbour. Along the seafront early in the morning, kiosks revive
fishermen with strong coffee, while there and in the lively daily
market hall nearby, the Mercado da Pedra, their catch is sold.
Immediately below, women set out plates of fresh oysters on permanent
granite tables to tempt passers-by on the aptly named Rúa da Pescadería.
Climbing the nearby stairs to Praza A Pedra, you'll find the understated
El Emigrante, a good place for raciones.
Day 10 Porto (Leixoes), Portugal: At the mouth
of the Rio Douro, the hilly city of Porto presents a jumble of
styles, eras and attitudes: narrow medieval alleyways, extravagant
baroque churches, prim little squares, and wide boulevards lined
with stately beaux-arts edifices.
Porto’s historic centre is the Ribeira district, a Unesco World
Heritage zone of winding lanes, zigzagging staircases and tiled
churches peering around every corner. Old traditions live on as
tripeiros (Porto residents) mingle before old storefronts, on
village-style plazas and in the old houses of commerce where Roman
ruins lurk beneath the foundations.
