Gastronomy, Vineyards & Grands Crus


Cruise overview
Embark on a unique gastronomic and wine journey along the Portuguese, Spanish, and French Atlantic shores. Exceptional caviar, prestigious wines, and refined sensory experiences will take center stage both on board and ashore through the partnership with the iconic caviar house Prunier and the renowned estate Château Latour, further elevated by the exceptional presence of the executive chef from one of Alain Ducasse’s restaurants. As the journey unfolds, wind-sculpted cliffs, lively fishing ports, verdant vineyards, and historic cities reveal themselves, immersing travelers in a rich maritime and culinary heritage. Across these sea-sprayed lands, shaped by the legacy of the great Atlantic trading routes, every port of call unveils its treasures: centuries-old architecture, the authentic charm of corsair towns, spectacular coastal walks, and, as a grand finale, exclusive optional excursions to Château Latour and Prunier — intimate immersions enhanced by private visits and unforgettable tastings.
Itinerary
Lisbon
Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century. It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history. Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio. Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city’s terraced hillsides. The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary. This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
