Bilbao offers impressive, 19th-century buildings and bridges and is the gateway to the Basque country. Perched on the hills above the rust-coloured waters of the Nervion River, the city is a thriving port and the commercial heart of Spain's Basque country. Le Verdon is your gateway to what is arguably the finest wine-producing region in the world: the vineyards surrounding Bordeaux. Cherbourg serves as your gateway to the historic Normandy landings of D-Day. Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans all fought over this strategic port on the English Channel. Cherbourg's port was once again the centre of conflict when German forces captured it during World War II.
Each number shows the day of your cruise. Days shown as At Sea are sailing days between ports — a chance to enjoy everything the ship has to offer.
