Christmas on the Loire (port-to-port cruise)

Join us for a tour of Nantes and the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany. This afternoon, join us on an optional excursion to Saint-Nazaire and the Escal’Atlantic, which ingeniously retraces the history of Norman and French ocean liners through a unique experience (must be booked in advance through your travel agency. A valid form of identification (passport) will be needed to access the site). Enjoy a “Christmas Tales”-themed evening.

The morning will be spent cruising. Join us for an excursion to the Muscadet region. We’ll pass through several villages that are testimony to the strong winegrowing identity in the region. We’ll return to the ship to enjoy our festive Christmas Eve dinner on board. Midnight Mass will be celebrated in Ancenis.

We’ll spend this morning cruising towards Bouchemaine. Once we arrive, join us for an excursion to Angers. We’ll return on board for dinner and an evening of entertainment.

Join us on a full-day excursion to the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, first visiting the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau before continuing on to Chinon, where you’ll discover an ancient underground quarry that has been transformed into a wine cellar. We’ll finish up our tour with a wine tasting*. After lunch, we’ll visit the Château de Chinon. Tonight is our gala dinner and evening.

Enjoy one last buffet breakfast on board before disembarking at 9:00 a.m. End of our services.
