Day to Day Itinerary

Saturday, October 14 - Day 1: Bordeaux, France - Embarkation

Our journey starts with a drive to Bordeaux from

Biarritz by motor coach. We will be welcomed

aboard the Viking’s Longship “Forseti” and the

balance of the day will be at leisure to become

familiar with the boat which will be our hotel for the

entire week. Second only to Paris in French historic

monuments, Bordeaux’s thoughtfully preserved

18th-century urban areas make it a desirable film

location, and its graceful port on the Garonne River

is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will have an

evening walk in Bordeaux, then remain docked

overnight.

Sunday, October 15 - Day 2: Bordeaux and Cadillac, France

Our morning sightseeing takes us to the city center and to visit

some of Bordeaux’s highlights, including the Place des

Quinconces, one of the largest squares in Europe; the

neoclassical Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux; and several

spectacular churches. We will visit the Musée d’Aquitaine for a

guided tour of the collections that highlight the region’s

triangular trade route and Bordeaux’s position in it. Later this

afternoon, we sail upstream along the Garonne River to

Cadillac, a small town with a towering castle that gave its name

to the American car brand, where we will remain overnight.

Monday, October 16 - Day 3: Cadillac (Sauternes),

France, Garonne River, Dordogne River, Libourne

Our day begins with a tour of Cadillac then head across the river

for our excursion to Sauternes where you will learn how the area’s

sweet dessert wines are made, and taste some examples during

your tour. Later you will enjoy scenic cruising as we will make

our way to Libourne where we will remain overnight.

Wednesday, October 17 Day 4: Libourne (Saint-Emilion), France

Our touring today starts with a leisurely stroll to Libourne’s

picturesque city square, lined with buildings dating as far

back as the 16th century; OR take part in one of two optional

excursions: an exploration of the Bergerac area in the

Dordogne to learn more about truffles, a great French

delicacy; or a wine tasting, at a nearby château, of some local

vintages from the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol appellations.

This afternoon we all will tour Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO

World Heritage Site, where you see the town’s superb

medieval lanes and delightful views of the surrounding

vineyards from the upper town with time to spend the

afternoon exploring the town’s streets and shops.

Wednesday, October 18 - Day 5: Libourne / Bourg & Blaye, France

Blaye boasts an extraordinary 17th-century citadel incorporating

the ruins of an ancient Gothic château that contains the tomb of

Charibert II, king of Aquitaine. Legend has it that the Frankish

hero Roland, who served Charlemagne, is also buried here. The

citadel of Blaye, its city walls and two other forts are collectively

listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This afternoon we will

visit the historic village of Bourg. You may choose to take an

optional excursion to the charming medieval town of Cognac,

birthplace of one of the world’s best-known types of brandy.

Here, you will tour the Camus family business, one of the most

tradition-steeped Cognac houses in the area, and try your hand at

blending.

Thursday, October 19 - Day 6: Blaye / Pauillac (Margaux)

Our boat will take us downstream this morning, passing islands and

gentle slopes, arriving in Pauillac in the early afternoon. Enjoy a wine

country tour featuring several wine-tasting opportunities, including

the area’s famous full-flavored Margaux. Travel through the rolling

vineyard-laced hills to dinner at Château Kirwan, accompanied by

the château’s own wines. Relax aboard your ship this evening, or

explore Pauillac’s marina and the Plaza Lafayette, where the Marquis

de Lafayette set sail to the New World. Pauillac, the undisputed

capital of the Médoc wine region, is home to Châteaux Lafite

Rothschild, Latour and Mouton Rothschild, among others. Before

returning to your ship, catch a glimpse of the Île de Patiras lighthouse

in the middle of the Gironde.

Friday, October 20

Day 7: Pauillac / Gironde River / Bordeaux

Our boat returns to Bordeaux as we relax and watching the

countryside go by. This afternoon there will be time in

Bordeaux to appreciate what this wonderful city offers - the

well-preserved architecture of Jacques Ange Gabriel and

son, and to taste the city’s cuisine and wine appellations.

Perhaps pick up a few bottles to take home with you. We

should not miss the Place de la Bourse, with its mirror-like

reflecting pool, impressive by day but absolutely stunning at

night. We will also have the option of taking a full-day

excursion to Arcachon, a commune on the Atlantic coast, to

see the Victorian-era villas, walk on the boardwalk and taste the oysters, a local delicacy. Or, you have the option

of participating in a market visit with the Viking Chef to see where the local chefs of Bordeaux find their fruit,

vegetables, meats and fish.

Saturday, October 21 Day 8: Bordeaux – Disembarkation Day

After a final onboard breakfast, we will disembark and will be

taken to the airport for our flight home…Or, extend your

journey with three nights in Paris…
