Viking River Cruises Forseti Chateaux, Rivers and Wines from Bordeaux in Depth - Full Ship Tour

Travel withme on Viking River Cruises Forseti from Bordeaux, on the Gironne and Dardogne Rivers. Three long years ago, I was one of 18 luxury travel advisors selected for a special executive retreat at Viking world headquarters with VP Michele Saugesser. I stayed up until 3 am working on my presentation for their cultural exchange program to support Austin arts, symphony, ballet and opera and was so excited to earn a free river cruise for my efforts. I finally was able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and choose the Bordeaux region of France on the Viking Forseti longship to explore the Chateaux, Rivers and Wines of this beautiful region. Join me via video for this beautiful cruise starting with the non-stop flight to Frankfurt on Lufthansa where I got stuck for the night before heading on to Bordeaux, then after my cruise flying Ryanair to Rome where I’ll meet up with my family and board the Royal Caribbean International Odyssey of the Seas. Follow along as I show you my French balcony cabin 202, the dining, the wine, the entertainment from Mattia the piano man, and the amazing excursions. Follow along in Bordeaux, Libourne, Blaye, Bourg, wine tasting in Medoc and Margaux and a fun day truffle hunting with Jennifer Poe at My Bordeaux Tours at Domaine Truffier De Saleix with Love the Truffle hunting dog and a delicious truffle lunch at Auberge de la Truffe before a beautiful stop at Saint-Émilion. See the Citadelle de Blaye Fortress and market. Join me as I blend my own Cognac at CAMUS Cognac and the delicious duck lunch. Watch the fascinating natural phenomenon, Le Mascaret, a tidal bore, with a gorgeous red sunset. Join me at the seaside for my mouth watering last day in Arcachon, where we ate fresh oysters at Chez Yannick and had a delicious lunch at L'Escale with our beautiful guide Bernat Virginie. The best part was the sweet Viking staff who go above and beyond to give everyone a fabulous experience.
