Rivers, Harbours & Vineyards of France
Rivers, Harbours & Vineyards of France
Slow down and savour the charms of France at a gentler pace, when the light softens and the crowds ease. Balmoral is small enough to dock in the centre of Bordeaux, placing you among boulevards, wine bars and celebrated vineyards, with opportunities for château tastings that reveal the secrets of this world-famous region. Cruising the River Seine is another highlight, gliding past châteaux, villages and rolling countryside – a scenic passage only possible on smaller ships. In Rouen, cobbled lanes and colourful half-timbered houses invite exploration, while tours further afield uncover Paris and its iconic sights. Elsewhere, La Pallice provides the gateway to La Rochelle’s old port, and Honfleur enchants with its art galleries, harbour views and pavement cafés.

Regions of Northern Spain
Regions of Northern Spain
Embark on a week-long city break cruise through Northern Spain, uncovering the essence of four distinct regions. Thanks to our smaller ship, you’ll visit these cities with fewer crowds, making for a more intimate experience. In Santander, Cantabria, the laid-back charm and tranquil beaches invite relaxation, whilst Getxo, in the Basque Country, offers a gateway to pintxos and Rioja alongside the art-filled streets of Bilbao and the iconic Guggenheim Museum. We’ll also visit Gijón, Asturias, known for its cider culture and rugged coastline, and La Coruña, Galicia, with its seafaring heritage and delicious empanadas. Beyond the cities, discover Spain’s greener side, with adventures awaiting at sites like the Picos de Europa National Park.

In just under a week, you’ll visit two cities during the festive season, with extended stays allowing you to experience them by day and night. Taking advantage of Balmoral’s size, you’ll sail along the scenic Seine River, surrounded by picturesque countryside and riverside villages, into Rouen – a route only accessible to smaller ships. By day, perhaps explore Rouen’s medieval streets, lined with colourful timber-framed houses, and discover the sights of Antwerp, just a short walk from your ship, thanks to our central docking location. By night, immerse yourself in the cosy atmosphere of the Christmas Markets, where twinkling lights illuminate stalls offering local treats like mulled wine, chestnuts, gingerbread, apple brandy and Belgian waffles.
