Trip overview
Sail away with us to Europe on this 8-night cruise aboard Oceania Cruises’ Marina. Let the ebb and flow of the ocean take over as you feel relaxed and energized by the people and places along the way.
Begin your journey near Paris in Le Havre and set sail for La Rochelle, where medieval architecture frames the harbor and cobblestone pathways lead to cafes. Pauillac places you in the heart of Bordeaux’s vineyards. Visit Chateau Lynch-Bages, a Pauillac winery with roots dating back to the 1600s. Then, travel to Spain, discover Bilbao through a culinary class paired with a visit to the bustling Mercado de la Ribera. In A Coruna, see the legendary Tower of Hercules, a UNESCO World Heritage site. From Vigo, walk the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela’s majestic cathedral. Spend your final day in vibrant Porto wandering through its maze of cobblestone streets, and savor authentic Portuguese cuisine at a local eatery. Your journey concludes in Lisbon.
On board, enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
