Spain & the River Cities of France

The charms of Northern Spain and the rivers of France await on this sailing, which makes the most of Balmoral’s size with scenic daytime cruising along the Seine, a route only accessible to smaller ships. Meander past Normandy’s rolling hills and riverside villages en route to Rouen, where you can explore the city’s medieval streets or join a tour to Paris to see its iconic landmarks, art scene and café culture. With an overnight stay in Pauillac, you can join a tour to nearby Bordeaux, with your visit perfectly timed for the grape harvest – an ideal opportunity to sample the region’s world-class wines. Along the way, there’ll be chances to indulge in local flavours, from French mussels and tarte tatin to Spanish pintxos and rioja.
