Discover the rich history, culture, cuisine and maritime heritage of Western Europe on Heritage Expeditions' 12-day Atlantic Shores Odyssey Cruise. Sail Europe's Atlantic shores exploring iconic highlights and little-known parts of Portugal, Spain, France, the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Sark, and the United Kingdom. It is one of the best Portugal cruises, Spain cruises and France cruises available, blending three countries into one thrilling voyage. Start your adventure in Lisbon, Portugal's heartbeat and coastal capital city. Soak in the history of one of the oldest cities in Western Europe as you navigate its narrow streets. Visit Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sample the celebrated wines of the Alentejo region. We'll discover its rich architectural history, including the Moorish heritage of the Algarve, before we explore the medieval city of Coimbra and the coastal town of Figueira da Foz. Arriving in Spain at Vilagarcía de Arousa, explore Santiago de Compostela, the city's Old Town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or venture to the rich architectural heritage of the world-famous square, Plaza del Obradoiro and the historical Pazo de Oca. Uncover Ferrol's rich naval heritage and the ancient Atlantic forests of Fragas do Eume Natural Park. Then it's on to Pasaia and San Sebastián in the heart of Basque Country. France offers new horizons as we sail into Bordeaux, where 'golden age' architecture meets the world-renowned Médoc wine region, a true Bordeaux wine cruise highlight. Explore Saint-Nazaire, with its 'Town of Art and History' status, or discover the vibrant Nantes, home to Jardin de Plantes de Nantes, one of France's top five gardens. Step back in time at Brest, exploring the Brittany region, where Celtic heritage, artists' villages and dramatic coastal scenery come alive. A memorable stretch of any France cruise. Sure to be a highlight are the islands of Guernsey and Sark, famous for their scenic coastline and beaches and endangered Norman language, Sarkese. It is a highlight that makes this final stretch feel like its own Channel Islands cruise. Experience destinations inaccessible to bigger ships, explore by Zodiac and on foot as we sail coastlines shaped by centuries of exploration and trade, arriving in the lively waterfront city of Portsmouth, England, where our voyage concludes. Join Heritage Expeditions on our Atlantic Shores Odyssey Cruise and discover the rich cultures, histories and traditions of Europe's Atlantic coastlines. Few Portugal cruises, Spain cruises or France cruises cover this many highlights in one voyage.
