The ship will set sail from Bordeaux, considered the wine capital of the world, to reach your first port of call, Pauillac. Here, several visits and wine tastings at some beautiful wine estates in the Saint-Estèphe, Margaux and Pauillac appellations will enable you to explore the region in the best possible way.

Your ship will then set a course for San Sebastian. In the heart of the Spanish Basque Country, you will fall in love with this city’s shell-shaped bay, its opulent buildings and its narrow little streets.

Le Bellot will then sail to the capital of the region, Bilbao. Here, you will be able to enjoy the city’s unique energy, its daring architecture and its ancestral traditions.

Your next port of call will be in Galicia, in the city of Vigo, Spain’s biggest fishing port. Not far from there, Santiago de Compostela awaits you. This unmissable pilgrimage destination is home to a number of monuments from the Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque periods, testimony to its illustrious past.

Leixoes will be the next stop on your cruise. From there, you will have the opportunity to visit Porto. Capital of the northern region of Portugal, this ‘city of granite, the centre of which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its wine.

Your cruise will come to an end in Lisbon, sitting on the Tagus River, distilling its one-of-a-kind charm imbued with rich history.
