Star Explorer: 8-Night Europe - Northern
This 8-night Northern Europe cruise aboard the Star Explorer by Windstar Cruises sails from Lake Huron to Bordeaux, departing August 22, 2027, calling at Honfleur, Caen (Ouistreham), Saint-Malo, and 2 more ports, and returns August 30, 2027. Cabin prices start from $4,086 per person.
Bordeaux is one of France's great cities, a UNESCO-listed urban center on the Garonne River in southwestern France known worldwide for its wine but increasingly recognized for its architecture, food scene, and cultural institutions. The Bordeaux cruise port is unusual: ocean-going cruise ships dock at the industrial port facility at Le Verdon-sur-Mer at the mouth of the Gironde estuary, about 100 km from Bordeaux city center, or occasionally at Bassens or Pauillac closer to the city.
