Dajo5601 Posted March 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi folks. In May we're docking into the French port of Le Verdon on the Emerald Princess. We know little (nothing) about this port, anyone any comments or opinions to share please. Anything to do in the town?, is it a nice/pretty place?, any advice would be most welcome. Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubynic Posted March 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We docked at Le Verdon a couple of years ago. It is a small commercial port - no facilities at all. Trips were available to Bordeaux but Princess also put on shuttle transfers to Soulac-sur-Mer about 20 mins away. This was a nice small seaside resort with some shops/restaurants and a local market selling wines & cheeses. You could also go to the beach or walk along the seafront.

Dajo5601 Posted March 22, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for that Rubynic, the shuttle sounds a good bet then. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink-belle Posted March 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I agree we have docked at Le Verdon a number of times, and look forward to our day in Soulac sur mer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We had the same experience Rubynic mentioned but on a different cruise line. We took the 20 minute shuttle. Small town. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newport dave Posted December 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We will be there in May 2018, does anyone know if they'll run the shuttle again next year. Did they even run the shuttle last year. If so, how often was it and how much? Many Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U&R from CH Posted April 5, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 5, 2018 We will stop at Le Verdon-sur-Mer in May, sailing on the Oceania MARINA. Has anyone been there on a Oceania Cruise and did they provide a shuttle to somewhere, e.g. ferry to Royan, Souillac-sur-Mer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buggins0402 Posted April 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted April 6, 2018 We will stop at Le Verdon-sur-Mer in May, sailing on the Oceania MARINA. Has anyone been there on a Oceania Cruise and did they provide a shuttle to somewhere, e.g. ferry to Royan, Souillac-sur-Mer? There is a sticky at the top of the O board for free shuttles. I did a search and came up with this post: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=55708832&postcount=371 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loge23 Posted May 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 30, 2018 we arranged a private wine tasting tour to several chateau in Bordeaux. It was a great day. Were you able to get a private tour that picked you up at the cruise port in Le Verdon? We have been to the Medoc before and know that there's many reachable wineries from the port area. Thank you!
