Departing Lisbon, our first stop is beautiful Porto, for a scenic trip along the River Douro, then we cross the border to the Spanish city of A Coru├▒a to wander its pretty, historic streets. A day at sea takes us to Bordeaux, a fine city with the added advantage of being close to some of the worldÔÇÖs top vineyards. Next, enjoy a stroll around the 17th-century arcaded streets of La Rochelle, explore the maritime history of Brest, and visit the charming cobbled town of St. Peter Port in Guernsey in the Channel Islands. We return briefly to the French mainland at Le Havre, before crossing the English Channel to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, where Queen Victoria used to holiday, and arriving in our final port of call, Portsmouth.
