We are contemplating trying to join the Christmas Loire cruise and then making a dash to Bordeaux New Year cruise. Can you advise whether this would seem a possibility and let me know more details about availability and costs.

The logistics between the two adventures should be entirely manageable. There's approximately a 3.3-hour car journey between Nantes, where the Loire Christmas cruise concludes, and Bordeaux, where the New Year cruise begins. You might consider taking the BlaBlaBus or FlixBus, or the SNCF train system. You would need a night of accommodation between the two dates. The New Year cruise still has spots available in every cabin category.
