ITINERARY

• Day 1 - 2
  Bordeaux, France
  Since the 14th century, Bordeaux’s fortunes have been tied to viticulture, resulting in a city of classical and neoclassical style, with monumental buildings and fine mansions financed by the almighty grape.
• Day 3
  Lorient, France
  Submarines, seafood, and sweeping coastal scenes define this historic destination in Brittany known as France’s Five Port City.
• Day 4
  Brest, France
  Nestled in one of France’s most picturesque natural harbors, Brest is a modern city with historic touches that provide a glimpse into its rich maritime history.
• Day 5
  Saint-Malo, France
  The walled city of St. Malo is a quaint maze of fine old buildings, museums and cafés serving Breton specialties of crepes and cider, where you can stroll along the ramparts and walk the cobblestone streets.
• Day 6
  Cherbourg, France
  Occupied by Germans during World War II and liberated by Allies following the invasion of Normandy, Cherbourg has an important military history and roots that stretch back to the 9th century Viking invasion.
• Day 7 - 8
  Rouen (Paris), France
  The first thing you notice as you approach Rouen is the Cathedral of Notre Dame towering high above the city; but be sure to explore the old town or visit Paris, the City of Light, which is within easy reach.
• Day 9
  Honfleur, France
  Honfleur is a lively town and a bustling port, where fishermen can be seen hauling in the daily catch, and where the quality of light has long attracted illustrious artists such as Monet, Turner and Millet.

  Southampton, England
  Muse on voyages past as you sail in or out of Southampton (it was the departure point for the Mayflower in 1620 and the Titanic in 1912), or visit the nearby attractions of London, Bath, Stonehenge and Lands End.
