Sailing: September 08, 2023
Savor the Flavors and Experiences of Coastal France and Spain
Your voyage begins with a sail out of Southampton, an historic maritime center and the departure point for the Mayflower and the ill-fated Titanic. St. Peter Port is your first destination. This remote Channel Island is the setting of the bestselling novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which takes place during the island’s German occupation in the second World War. After a relaxing day at sea—perhaps spent relaxing by the pool, or connecting with new friends—you’ll arrive in Bordeaux for immersive wine experiences in a region famed for its Grand Crus with an overnight and late departure.
Enjoy a late night in St. Jean de Luz, one of Basque’s (and all of France’s) most beautiful beach retreats, followed by another late night in Bilbao, Spain. Spend your time sightseeing and soaking in all the local culture. A highlight is sure to be the Guggenheim Museum, with the building itself considered an architectural marvel.
In Gijon, make room for cider and some local pastries, as the city has the most bakeries per capita in all of Spain. Stroll the spectacular Paseo Maritimo promenade in LA Coruña, at one end you’ll discover the Roman Tower of Hercules, a UNESCO World Heritage site lighthouse.
Next, find yourself in Porto, a European capital of culture where you can stroll the Ribeira neighborhood, and try some petiscos, the Portuguese version of tapas. Your voyage wraps up with an overnight in Lisbon, the colorful, historic heart of Portugal. Reminisce about all the incredible destinations you’ve visited over a glass of local port.
