Cruise overview

Departing from London, sail to Honfleur, gateway to Normandy’s D-Day beaches. Call at St. Peter’s Port in Guernsey, then Cherbourg, a charming French town where 19th-century cafés serve cold pints of cloudy cider. After a day at sea, arrive in La Rochelle with its seaside promenades and famed seafood market. End with two days in Bordeaux, docking in the heart of the city with time to explore vineyards, riverside squares, and world-class wine culture.

Honfleur

Honfleur, the most picturesque of the Côte Fleurie’s seaside towns, is a time-burnished place with a surplus of half-timber houses and cobbled streets that are lined with a stunning selection of stylish boutiques. Much of its Renaissance architecture remains intact—especially around the 17th-century Vieux Bassin harbor, where the water is fronted on one side by two-story stone houses with low, sloping roofs and on the other by tall slate-topped houses with wooden facades. Maritime expeditions (including some of the first voyages to Canada) departed from here; later, Impressionists were inspired to capture it on canvas. But the town as a whole has become increasingly crowded since the Pont de Normandie opened in 1995. Providing a direct link with Upper Normandy, the world’s sixth-largest cable-stayed bridge is supported by two concrete pylons taller than the Eiffel Tower and designed to resist winds of 257 kph (160 mph).
