Christmas on the Loire

Passengers are welcome to board our ship in Nantes at 6:00 p.m. After comfortably settling into your cabins, we'll introduce our crew at a welcome cocktail.

Join us for a tour of Nantes and the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany. This afternoon, join us on an excursion to Saint-Nazaire and the Escal'Atlantic, which ingeniously retraces the history of Norman and French ocean liners through a unique experience (This excursion must be booked in advance through your travel agency. Each passenger will be asked to produce a valid passport in order to book the excursion and gain access to the shipyard.). Enjoy an animated evening on the theme of Christmas.

The morning will be spent cruising. Join us for an excursion to the Muscadet region. We'll pass through several villages that are testimony to the strong winegrowing identity in the region. We'll return to the ship to enjoy our festive Christmas Eve dinner on board. Midnight Mass will be celebrated in Ancenis(1-2).

We'll spend this morning cruising towards Chalonnes-sur-Loire. Once we arrive, join us for an excursion to Angers. We'll return on board for dinner and an evening of entertainment.

Join us on a full-day excursion to the Châteaux of the Loire Valley, first visiting the Château d'Azay-le-Rideau before continuing on to Chinon, where you'll discover an ancient underground quarry that has been transformed into a wine cellar. We'll finish up our tour with a wine tasting*. After lunch, we'll visit the Château de Chinon. Tonight is our gala dinner and evening.

Enjoy one last buffet breakfast on board before disembarking at 9:00 a.m. End of our services.
