Bordeaux Affair
Sail away to charming villages, rolling countryside, and grand chateau estates on a 7-night river cruise aboard Scenic Cruises’ Scenic Diamond.
Begin in Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage city, shaped by centuries of architecture and river trade. Cruise the Dordogne River to Libourne, where you can learn about the town’s rich history as a trading center for wool, salt, wood, and other goods. Continue to Blaye, to see the impressive Vauban Citadel. In Fort Medoc, experience a private classical concert at Chateau d’Agassac, an enchanting 13th-century chateau in the Medoc countryside. Visit Pauillac and Bourg and take a cycling tour along the Captain’s Road, named for the WWI captains who chose homes along the waterway. In Cadillac, explore the town’s medieval streets. Back in Bordeaux, enjoy a final day exploring the town. Join a Scenic chef at a local food market to shop for and taste local ingredients.
On board, enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
