Itinerary
Day Bordeaux, France
"Situated on the Garonne River in the southwest of France, Bordeaux is above all famous for one thing: wine. Its full-bodied reds (and to a lesser degree its whites, rosés and sparkling wines) have made this a flourishing port since ancient times when it was the capital of the Roman province of Aquitania. But there's much more to see than wine cellars and vineyards. Explore the quays of the Port de la Lune and the crescent-shaped area along the Garonnes Rive Gauche, resplendent with neoclassical buildings, elegant fountains and grand squares. As you wander the streets here, step into the landscaped green spaces or fine art institutions that give Paris a run for its money. The restaurants here are among the country's best (naturally, to pair with the regions wines, from the three-euro refreshers to the premier grand crus), and include old-school brasseries and sleek on-the-cutting-edge newcomers."

Day La Rochelle, FranceArrive 08:00 AM Depart 06:00 PM
La Rochelle has been an important harbor on the Bay of Biscay for over a thousand years. It has housed naval fleets ranging from the crusading Knights Templar to the German U-boat fleet in World War II. The Vieux Port at La Pallice is still a scenic highlight, and the U-boat pens are still on view. Nearby is Les Minimes, Europes largest pleasure yacht marina. A majestic cathedral and a well-preserved Old Town are well worth exploring. The city also has a long history of producing fine porcelain faience. In the surrounding region, many visitors enjoy at scenic boat ride on the shaded canals known as Venise Verte, the Green Venice, in the marshlands of Poitevin near La Garette. A short causeway also connects the town to the Ile de Ré. Others prefer to head to Cognac, for a tour and tasting of the eponymous spirits produced by the local vineyards.

Day Cruising Strait of MessinaArrive 04:00 AM
"The Strait of Messina is the narrow waterway between Sicily and Calabria, the southernmost region on the Italian peninsula. Despite its relatively short length, the Strait of Messina is endowed with many unique qualities, making it one of the more dramatic passages in the Mediterranean. Its narrowest pointless than three kilometers (two miles)creates a natural bottleneck and a distinct sheltered marine ecosystem; it is also a significant migration point for numerous species of birds. Noted for its large numbers of raptors and storks, the strait is one of the most popular and important bird-watching locations in Europe. Whales also swim along the length of the strait, adding to the areas remarkable biodiversity. The Strait of Messina figures prominently in Greek mythology, most notably as the site of Scylla and Charybdis, mythical monsters of the sea that were embodied in rocky shoals on the Calabrian side and a whirlpool on the Sicilian side. These natural hazards would later lead to the phrase between a rock and a hard place, in English. For travelers today, however, sailing the strait is an easy decision, with its opportunities to spot wildlife in the shadow of Mount Etna"
