Where do we book the shore excursions?

Shore excursions can be booked in advanced or onboard. They're quoted in euros and converted to CAD once added to your booking. We need to know specific excursion names prior to 30 days before departure.

Can you tell me specifically where the ship leaves from and where it will dock on its return? I would arrive a day early and need hotel accommodation for two nights in Bordeaux. And a night afterwards.

Yes, Croisi can offer the Hotel Mercure Bordeaux Château Chartrons, not far from the mooring place. For each night with breakfast: 116.16€

Too much food,,,, I never eat that much but I certainly did my best. The only downside was being a couple on our own......as English speakers it would have been good if we had been included in the English speakers' tables. We felt quite isolated at the beginning of the cruise. More exercise and dance classes, possibly before breakfast. A printed itinerary posted in the lounge would have been handy and easy to refer to.Show more
