Additional Information & Description
Bordeaux’s Garonne River gives you a different perspective on the city: its sights seen from the water rather than from the streets. This 90-minute guided yacht cruise takes you through the Port de la Lune, with Yacht de Bordeaux sharing its passion for the city and its river. The cruise centres on Bordeaux’s waterfront setting, making the river itself part of the visit rather than simply a route between sights.
Bordeaux’s architecture from the river
The route introduces the sights of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Bordeaux, including the Gothic Bordeaux Cathedral, mansions dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, and art museums. These landmarks bring several periods of the city’s architecture into the same outing. The cathedral provides the Gothic element, while the later mansions reveal another side of Bordeaux’s built heritage. Sailing the Port de la Lune places those sights within the city’s broader river setting, with the view from the yacht shaping how you see them.
Live guidance in French and English
A guide provides live commentary in French and English throughout the cruise. The narration adds context to the passing sights and introduces Bordeaux’s history as you travel along the Garonne. Rather than leaving you to identify the buildings alone, the guided format connects what you see from the boat with the city around it. Both languages are included in the experience.
A canelé and your choice of drink
Your ticket includes a canelé mini cake and one drink. Choose a glass of Bordeaux wine from Domaine Archambeau, with red, white and rosé available, or opt for a hot beverage or soft drink. The cake adds a small tasting element to the sightseeing cruise, while the drink selection leaves room for a wine or non-alcoholic choice. These refreshments are included alongside the yacht journey and its live commentary.
