Brest, the most westerly city in France, features a stunning coastline with amazing beaches and will dazzle you with its intensely Gallic culture. Bordeaux is cultured in a completely different way: filled with historic buildings and surrounded by perhaps the world’s most famous wine country. After a leisurely day in Cherbourg, we will take in the lovely port of Honfleur, whose charm inspired the Impressionists including Claude Monet, before crossing back to Liverpool, birthplace of the Beatles: a city suffused in poetry, music and alternative art.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Brest
Located on the briny coast of Brittany, the French port of Brest offers a seafaring spirit and countless maritime attractions. Stroll along quaysides, discover historic fortifications, and enjoy some unique Breton cuisine.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a port of elegance and indulgence. Stroll along the Garonne River and admire the grand 18th-century architecture, or explore the city’s world-renowned wine culture with a vineyard tour. From its art galleries to its charming squares, Bordeaux will captivate you with its beauty and sophistication.

Cherbourg
Cherbourg on the Normandy coast has a long and storied relationship with the sea. Tour along coastal promenades, wander through fascinating quayside museums, and indulge in delicious local seafood.

Honfleur
Nestled on France's Normandy coast, Honfleur mesmerises with its historic harbour and artistic ambience. Travel back in time as you explore cobbled streets and art galleries showcasing works by renowned painters like Eugene Boudin.
