Great Rail Journeys · Escorted River Cruise
Beautiful Bordeaux, the Dordogne and La Rochelle
Fly-cruise river tour of Bordeaux's wine region, the Dordogne and La Rochelle
Great Rail Journeys sells this trip as an escorted river cruise through Bordeaux, one of Europe's most famous wine regions, sailing the Garonne and Dordogne rivers with a stop at La Rochelle. Travellers fly to France and continue by river cruise, which the operator describes as five-star luxury travel. The evidence available to us does not include a day-by-day itinerary, ship name, duration or price, so it is not possible to say how the days are structured or what is included beyond the flight and the cruise itself. It suits travellers drawn to a five-star river cruise through wine country, rather than those looking for a rail itinerary.
