From Rouen to Bordeaux
From Rouen to Bordeaux
19 August to 20 August
Rouen has endured a turbulent history: it was here that Joan of Arc was burnt at the stake in 1431, and much of the city was destroyed during World War II. Many cruise visitors head straight for Paris, an hour away by train, which is a real shame since there's so much to see in Rouen itself, including a beautiful cathedral, the atmospheric Medieval quarter and museums aplenty.

Bordeaux is ringed by vineyards and châteaux, and a wine tasting tour is an absolute must. Saint-Emilion, Pauillac, Médoc, Sauternes, Pomerol… You really are spoilt for choice!
The ship
Windstar's Star Plus Class of vessels - Star Pride, Star Legend and Star Breeze - each carry just over 300 guests and are hugely popular for very good reason.
What we love
These small ships accommodate 312 guests in large all-suite accommodation, following the completion of the Star Plus refurbishment programme in 2021 which saw the ships lengthened. There's a choice of restaurants, comfortable lounges, and plenty of deck space, while the ship's marina ensures you can enjoy the complimentary watersports when anchored in hidden bays and tiny coves.

Tailor-make your trip
At the heart of the historic centre, the quirky Yndo Hotel is a great choice.
The nearby coastal town of Arcachon is renowned for its oysters, and is home to the towering Dune du Pyla, Europe’s largest sand dune.
