Aboard Le Lapérouse
Savor ten unforgettable nights aboard the luxurious Le Lapérouse, an ultra-modern and eco-conscious ship, during an exclusive Orbridge cruise along the stunning Atlantic coasts of France, Spain, and Portugal. This immersive journey blends refined comfort with rich cultural experiences and exceptional cuisine. Delight in the flavors of the region with expertly crafted meals, from freshly caught seafood to vibrant Basque and Galician specialties, and indulge in exclusive tastings of world-renowned wines. Step into history in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where a guided tour leads you through the lively outdoor market and into the Church of Jean Baptiste, the historic site of King Louis XIV’s marriage in 1660. In Bilbao, admire the striking contrast of old and new—from the avant-garde architecture of the Guggenheim Museum to the cobbled charm of Casco Viejo’s Plaza Nueva and Santiago Cathedral. Continue to Gijón to explore the atmospheric fishing district of Cimavilla, capped with a tasting of Asturian cider. In A Coruña, marvel at the Tower of Hercules—the world’s oldest functioning Roman lighthouse and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then, journey to Santiago de Compostela to wander its sacred Old Town and awe-inspiring cathedral, a landmark of the legendary Camino de Santiago. Conclude your adventure in Porto, where the city's UNESCO-listed historic center unfolds with colorful streets, the bustling Ribeira district, and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge arching gracefully over the Douro River.
