This 8-day Viking River cruise through Bordeaux – a region synonymous with fine wine and finer living – offers many “bucket list” experiences for wine lovers, all while leisurely sailing past romantic castles and the stunning countryside of France.
Explore Bordeaux. See Bordeaux’s fountains and cellars and explore its historic monuments and beautiful port. While its monuments are beautiful during the day, they are stunning at night.
