Embarkation from Portsmouth

Diving into Basque culture in Bilbao

There’s nothing quite like a sunny Mediterranean jaunt from the UK. Hitting La Coruña, Bilbao, and Bordeaux, this six-night voyage from Portsmouth skirts the coast of Spain, where you’ll soak up some much-needed sunshine, before docking in Le Verdon. Not just about the wine, Bordeaux is also known for its Gothic architecture, art museums, public gardens, and 19th-century mansions.

Bilbao offers up a different side of Spain than you might have seen on postcards. The capital of the Basque Country, Bilbao is known for its more modern appeal, including its buzzing skyscraper-filled downtown and contemporary Guggenheim Museum. Despite its modern leanings, the city is also steeped in history, with a 700-year-old Old Quarter defined by narrow medieval streets and lush gardens.
