Welcome to Bordeaux, where you will join the luxurious Scenic Diamond. The moniker 'Sleeping Beauty' or La Belle Endormie was given to Bordeaux when industry was moved to the outskirts, and the city was all but abandoned. In the late 20th century, the city was revived and restored to its former glory. The city center was pedestrianized, limestone was revealed under blackened facades, and Bordeaux was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site with more than 350 structures declared historical monuments. It's now one of the most desirable places in France to live and visit. Your ship will be docked here overnight, so you can go onshore to explore the city after dark. ... Read More

Day 4
Blaye, France
Fort Medoc, France
This morning you will wake in Blaye, set at a strategic position on the confluence of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers. Most famously, this petite hamlet is home to a UNESCO World Heritage-listed citadel that was constructed to protect the city of Bordeaux from enemy attacks.
Set on the Gironde estuary at the heart of the Medoc wine route, Pauillac is surrounded by some of the best vineyards in Bordeaux. The town itself is quiet with elegant architecture that speaks to its powerful past in the winemaking industry. This appellation grows some of the world's most famous and expensive wines, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon. Back onboard, enjoy lunch as you cruise to Bourg, a picturesque town set on a rocky promontory. It began life as a defensive chateau in the 12th century and has expanded over the centuries. Today, it's a maze of ancient alleyways, moats, and bell towers on the banks of the Dordogne. This quiet village sits among many famous UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites and, though it is just as charming, remains largely undiscovered by the masses. This evening, your ship will continue its journey towards Cadillac, stopping overnight in Bordeaux before cruising onward. ... Read More
