A cruise from Bordeaux to beautiful Madeira

Your journey begins in Pauillac, the small Gironde port that opens the door to the Bordeaux wine region. This stop is all about names you’ll recognise on labels like Margaux, Pauillac, and Saint-Julien, as well as elegant riverfront streets and classic landmarks such as Place de la Bourse in nearby Bordeaux. Whether you’re joining a vineyard visit or simply tasting local reds in town, this port leans into its identity as the heart of French winemaking.

Next, you’ll call into Getxo, the coastal gateway to Bilbao. It’s the ideal starting point for exploring the Guggenheim Museum with its distinctive titanium curves, grabbing pintxos in the Old Quarter, or walking the riverside paths along the Nervión. Bilbao mixes art, architecture, and great food in a way that feels easy to explore, and you get plenty of time to settle into its rhythm.
-
Your third highlight is Funchal on the island of Madeira, where you’ll stay overnight. This stop offers cable-car rides up to Monte, stalls of local produce at the Mercado dos Lavradores, and warm evenings along the marina. Arriving during the Atlantic Festival adds extra atmosphere, with music and events giving the city a lively, welcoming buzz.

Back on Bolette, you’ll unwind in a ship designed for a calmer pace. The ship’s layout offers quiet lounges, two pool areas, a spa, live evening entertainment, and restaurants serving everything from laid-back bites to full evening menus. It’s a warm, friendly place to return to after each day ashore.
