Itinerary

Day 1 UK - Bordeaux Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your British Airways flight to Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. Meet your Uniworld representative and transfer to the port to embark River Royale (5T). Day 2 Bordeaux - Pauillac Journey from Bordeaux, the ‘Pearl of the Aquitaine’, a famed wine-growing region, to the historical village of Cussac-Fort-Médoc, before arriving in coastal Pauillac later in the afternoon. Pauillac, once a crucial enemy stronghold during WWII, is still home to remnants of its war-torn past. Embark on an afternoon Bunker Archaeology tour, where you’ll begin to understand WWII from the enemy’s point of view. Led by a local guide, tour the remains of defensive army camps, wander inside bunkers and get up close and personal with the Atlantic Wall, an extensive coastal defence system and series of fortifications built by Nazi Germany that lies along the coast of numerous European countries. Day 3 Cadillac Satisfy your sweet tooth in elegant Cadillac, a town known for its production of sweet dessert wines and perfectly situated in the centre of an acclaimed international wine region. The town is home to a plethora of impressive wine estates, beautiful chateaux and trails perfect for enjoying the French countryside. Enjoy an exclusive artisanal wine-pairing lunch at Château Royal de Cazeneuve prior to an appropriate photo stop at Château d’Yquem. Day 4 Blaye - Bourg-sur-Gironde - Libourne Spend your morning on a scenic drive along the Route de La Corniche Fleurie. Marvel at the spectacular homes etched into cliffs, sprawling gardens, Blaye Fortress and Lansac’s windmills along your way. Or, choose to experience it by bike, where you’ll cycle towards quiet roads, riverside paths and charming villages. Day 5 Libourne A full day in Libourne means you’ll have plenty of time to explore the majestic landscape of villages and vineyards. Nestled along the confluence of the Isle and Dordogne rivers, the quaint town is as pretty as a postcard. On the outskirts of Libourne, you’ll find neighbouring Saint-Émilion. Discover the wine-making town by foot on a tour of its most picturesque sights, such as the magnificent Monolithic Church, all capped by a wine tasting at a beautiful château. Day 6 Libourne - Bordeaux Cité du Vin Continue exploring Libourne’s Gothic architecture, splendid chateaux and charming streets. Stroll around the main square which is flanked by medieval buildings, restaurants and cafés, shops and town hall. Get a feel for the local life with a pit stop at the town’s farmers' market. Arrive back in Bordeaux just in time for an exclusive tour of the city as seen under the glow of the night sky. Day 7 Bordeaux (Quai des Chatrons) There’s so much to discover with a full day in Bordeaux’s port of Quai des Chatrons. The architecture is impressive and the wine is exquisite. Explore La Cité du Vin, a one-of-a-kind cultural centre and museum that brings the heritage of wine to life through interactive exhibits, shows, academic seminars and more. Do as the locals do and uncover Bordeaux’s unique heritage on a walking tour or choose to traverse the city by bike. Celebrate the end to a spectacular trip with a farewell dinner on board. Day 8 Bordeaux - UK Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK. Upon arrival your Titan vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
