After joining the Dordogne explore the medieval towns of Saint-Emilion, Libourn and Cadillac before returning to Bordeaux.

Travelers then sail to Blaye where they can take an optional tour of Corniche to experience the area’s cliffs and combinations of river, rocks and vines. The trip will end with a tour of  the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is Bordeaux, with its 18th century architecture and charming city center.
• The Gironde Estuary and the Garonne River – 5 Days
  Beginning in Bordeaux, guests travel through Pauillac to Bourg, a city built on a rocky outcrop enclosed by medieval ramparts. That evening guests will return to Blaye for a tour of the Citadel. The trip will pass through Cadillac and Saint-Emilion before concluding with a historic city tour of Bordeaux.

One of CroisiEurope’s defining features has always been the shallow drafts of their ships that allow them to go where others simply can’t. This is very true of the Cyrano de Bergerac and Princesse de’Aquitane, both of which can moor right in the heart of the Bordeaux region. Constructed in 2013 and 2011, respectively, both ships feature a variety of stateroom choices, coupled with attractive lounges and restaurants in which to relax and watch as the Garonne passes by.
