Embark on an extraordinary Spain and France Cruise that combines art, history, culture, and coastal charm. This 7-night journey from Southampton invites you to experience two of Europe’s most captivating destinations — France and Spain — while enjoying modern luxury, world-class cuisine, and unforgettable scenery at sea.
Your voyage begins in Southampton, England, a historic port city known as the gateway to Europe. Arrive early to explore the medieval Old Town, visit the SeaCity Museum, or stroll along the bustling waterfront before boarding your ship. As your Spain and France Cruise departs, settle onto the deck and watch the English coastline fade into the horizon — the perfect start to your European adventure.
Your first stop is Bordeaux (La Rochelle), France, where old-world charm meets modern elegance. Wander the cobbled streets, admire grand 18th-century architecture, and explore nearby vineyards that produce some of the world’s finest wines. Sample local vintages paired with gourmet French cuisine or take a day trip to La Rochelle’s picturesque harbor lined with cafés and boutiques.
Next, your Spain and France Cruise sails south to Bilbao, Spain, a city that beautifully blends traditional Basque culture with cutting-edge design. The spectacular Guggenheim Museum is a must-see, showcasing world-class modern art inside an architectural masterpiece. Stroll the Casco Viejo (Old Quarter), savor authentic pintxos at local taverns, or admire the scenic Nervión River that runs through the city.
Continue to La Coruña, Spain, a seaside gem on Spain’s northwestern coast. Climb the ancient Tower of Hercules — the world’s oldest functioning lighthouse — for panoramic ocean views, or relax on Orzán Beach just steps from the city center. With its mix of history, culture, and natural beauty, La Coruña perfectly captures the essence of Spain’s Atlantic spirit.
After exploring Spain’s northern coast, your Spain and France Cruise journeys back north to Paris (Le Havre), France. From this charming port, you can travel to the City of Light and experience its timeless allure — from the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre to sidewalk cafés and romantic river cruises along the Seine. Closer to port, explore Le Havre’s UNESCO-listed modernist architecture or visit the artistic seaside town of Honfleur, beloved by Impressionist painters.
Finally, return to Southampton, England, where your 7-night adventure concludes. As you disembark, you’ll carry memories of sun-drenched vineyards, striking coastlines, and the cultural treasures of Spain and France — all discovered from the comfort of your luxurious cruise ship.
Throughout your Spain and France Cruise, you’ll enjoy impeccable service, elegant accommodations, and exceptional dining experiences inspired by the very destinations you visit. Whether you’re sipping Bordeaux wine on deck, exploring medieval towns, or indulging in French pastries at breakfast, every moment reflects the beauty, flavor, and sophistication of Europe’s western coast.
This Spain and France Cruise is more than a voyage — it’s an exploration of two remarkable countries, where every port reveals a new story, a new flavor, and a new memory to treasure.
