AmaWaterways Taste of Bordeaux

[lovetotraveltx]

Considering this cruise for next year. If you've done this cruise, what were your pros and cons.

 

Also, is there a big difference traveling in the bordeaux region end of March vs end of April?

 

Thank you!

I've not done Bordeaux with AMA but I have done it with Viking (in March) and (in August this year) with Scenic.

 

End of April will be warmer but weather here is changeable and can't  be guaranteed.

 

This is a wine cruise, that's what Bordeaux is world famous for, but in Merch the vines will be stumps, pruned and not yet growing leaves. I found it dispiriting to see nothing but brown fields. Thats why I booked the second trip for September. (It was Covid postponed and eventually took place in August, but grape bunches were hanging on vines covered in greenery.)

 

As all the lines travel to the same paces may I suggest you read my thread here for comments on the cruise, the first post is especially relevant -
