COUNTRY: FRANCE
RIVERS: DORDOGNE & GARONNE
Savor the heart of Bordeaux on this river cruise, where wine takes center stage. Tour centuries-old vineyards, taste the region’s finest vintages, and follow wine’s journey from grape to glass. Explore historic castles and charming villages like Saint-Émilion and Cussac-Fort-Médoc, all while enjoying the rich flavors and culture of southern France.
“From the minute we stepped onto our AmaWaterways Danube river cruise ship, we were welcomed and taken care of by an amazing team. Every little detail was planned out and executed flawlessly. I can’t wait to book my clients with AmaWaterways. The atmosphere on the ship is relaxing and welcoming. The décor is beautiful and elegantly casual. There is a variety of different sitting areas where you could relax and watch the scenery go by, read a book, knit, play games, or have a glass of wine. We loved the included shore excursions. They treated us to a 3-course meal and concert at the House of Strauss. We also loved seeing see Gustav Klimt’s paintings, in person, at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. Visiting Cesky Krumlov was another one of our favorite excursions. It is an absolutely, charming village/town that dates back to the Older Stone Age and the Cesky Krumlov castle was founded shortly before 1250.”
