15 Nights on Star Legend
Impressionist artists like Monet and Renoir spent a lifetime trying to capture the beauty and soul of western France. It took Julia Child just one meal in Normandy to fall in love with French cuisine. Be won over on this sensory journey to Northern Spain and France. Follow the Comino to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela, a pilgrimage site for a thousand years. Sip cider in Gijon at the heart of “Green Spain,” a place even many Spaniards are unfamiliar with. Treat your palate to Basque cuisine. You’ll see hills covered in vineyards and chateaux in Bordeaux, Monet’s famous water lilies in Giverny, Mont St. Michel abbey perched on a tiny island like a wedding cake ornament, and as many Parisian wonders as you can absorb with a two-night stay in Rouen. Delicious. Moving. Awe-inspiring. This voyage is all that and more.

Bordeaux has long been known as La Belle au Bois Dormant, Sleeping Beauty. And while the beauty part is undeniable, the sleeping part could be argued. Sure, the region is filled with treasures from long ago, including more than 350 historic monuments and buildings in the city alone. But the capital of Aquitaine is also home to a vibrant culture and, as oenophiles well know, is the gateway to some of France's most famous vineyards. In this UNESCO World Heritage city, 13th century cathedrals and 18th century palaces are commonplace. Venture beyond the city's borders to the chateaux of the Médoc region or to Saint-Émilion, a breathtaking medieval village set among the vineyards that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built into the granite cliffs at the mouth of the Rio Douro, the hilly city of Porto presents a heady juxtaposition of eras and styles. Here, medieval alleyways, orderly neighborhood squares, and ornate Baroque churches readily intermingle. Porto's historic heart is a UNESCO site of winding lanes, zigzagging staircases and tiled churches. The highlight, though, is a taste of port wine at its best - a happy accident dating from the 17th century when brandy was discovered to preserve wine for transit. After your choice of palate-pleasing shore excursions, return for an onboard fado folk music performance.
