MaChere Posted February 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We believe my husband's ancestors sailed from this port or vicinity hundreds of years ago. Which cruise lines include La Rochelle as part of itineraries? Anyone ever been there? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted February 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2014 We stopped there on Celebrity Infinity in October 2013 on trans-Atlantic from Harwich, UK to Miami. A beautiful old city. I think a number of cruises from England stop there - probably Celebrity, HAL and P&O most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaChere Posted February 23, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks so much everyone. We will do our research and put a cruise that includes La Rochelle on our list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted February 23, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If you put P&O itinerary La Rochelle into your search engine, you should come up with six cruises there this spring/summer, on four different ships. They are mainly 7 night cruises from the UK, touching northern Spain and France. One of the ships mentioned, Oriana, is adult only, in case you're bringing children- the other 3 are family friendly. Next year the brand new ship, Britannia, is sailing this route- she's identical to Royal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted February 23, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2014 You said "hundreds of years" so this may not apply. But anyway, if they came to America through Ellis Island anytime from 1892-1924 you can search the for the records. I found the ship and ship's manifest when my mother and grandmother came to America from France. https://www.ellisisland.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancestors left France and settled in Nova Scotia in mid 1650's. So both places on our bucket lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2014 http://www.cruisetimetables.com/cruises-to-la-rochelle-france.html Just pick your time to sail. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted February 27, 2014 #11 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Essiesmom's timetable is perfect; I just want to add that P&O Adonia is also adult only, and Saga cruise is for over 50yrs only, although the partner can be in their 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
