Lisbon to Bordeaux: Tastes, Traditions, and Slow Travel Along the Atlantic Coast

Sail eight nights aboard Star Explorer from Lisbon to Bordeaux, a voyage through Portugal, northern Spain, and France built for savoring rather than rushing. With overnight stays in Biarritz and Bordeaux, you'll have time to linger after the sun goes down. Enjoy fresh Galician seafood in Vigo, sip port with the Douro River in view in Porto, and share pintxos with the locals in Bilbao. The journey ends among the vineyards of Bordeaux, dining and tasting on the "hill of a thousand châteaux."

Between meals, the region's layered history unfolds. Wander medieval Old Towns and marvel at landmarks like Portugal's colorful Pena Palace and Bilbao's iconic Guggenheim.
