What you should know if considering this cruise.
The three rivers sailed on are tidal and at Bordeaux, some 50 miles from the sea, the river level rises and falls by 20 feet, meaning the gangways can be at a steep angle.
The scenery is nothing much compared with the Rhine, Mosel, Danube and Douro and the rivers and estuary in particular are wide, meaning that the banks are far away. The left bank is very flat and most of the time nothing is visible apart from the trees lining the bank.
Bordeaux is the world’s largest fine wine region, so there are several tours to wineries and included wine tastings.
Times are shown on board using the 24 hour clock.
