European Coastal Cruise: Lisbon to London

ABOUT THE TOUR

Cruise the western coast of Europe aboard an exclusively chartered, deluxe small ship and discover the cultural treasures of Portugal, Spain and France as you travel from Lisbon to London. Immerse yourself in the heritage of Porto and Santiago de Compostela as you explore their UNESCO World Heritage Old Towns. Marvel at the fortified medieval abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel, another World Heritage wonder. A day visiting poignant D-Day sites along the Normandy coast is enhanced by the insights of guest speaker Dwight David Eisenhower II, historian and grandson of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Tailor your journey with Traveler’s Choice excursions, an option of included outings that you select to enhance your experience. In Porto, choose between a tour of the city’s medieval monuments and a tasting of Porto’s famous port wine and cheese. In Bilbao, select either a tour of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao or a cooking demonstration featuring delicious Basque cuisine. Your cruise concludes in vibrant London, where your small ship sails the River Thames to bring you to the city’s doorstep.
