The ship will set sail from Bordeaux, considered the wine capital of the world, to reach your first port of call, Pauillac. Here, several visits and wine tastings at some beautiful wine estates in the Saint-Estèphe, Margaux and Pauillac appellations will enable you to explore the region in the best possible way.

After a stop in the beautiful fortified town of Talmont-sur-Gironde, you will set sail for the Basque coast and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, an authentic fishing port with charming half-timbered houses.

 You will then cruise to Santander and its dazzling bay, considered one of the most beautiful in the Bay of Biscay. You will fall in love with the timeless charm of this coastal city with a rich maritime heritage.

Le Lapérouse will continue its exploration of the Northern Spanish coast until it reaches Avilés. The town is an ode to the beauty of Asturias, offering unspoilt nature, a history spanning centuries, and contemporary artistic creation. 

Your ship will then set a course for Corruna, a trading port with a history extending all the way back to antiquity. This Galician city will captivate you with its stories and architectural gems, including the legendary Tower of Hercules: a Roman lighthouse declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Your journey will continue to the city of Vigo, the biggest fishing port in Spain. Not far from here, Santiago de Compostela awaits you. This unmissable pilgrimage destination is home to a number of monuments from the Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque periods, testimony to its illustrious past. 

Leixoes will be the next stop on your cruise. From there, you will have the opportunity to visit Porto. Capital of the northern region of Portugal, this ‘city of granite, the centre of which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its wine.

In Figueira da Foz, at the mouth of the Mondego River, you will love the slow pace of this historic seaside resort and its beaches of white sand.

Your cruise will come to an end in Lisbon, sitting on the Tagus River, distilling its one-of-a-kind charm imbued with rich history.
