6 reasons why a luxury river cruise is the best way to taste the flavours of Bordeaux
Delicious fine dining, charming scenery and the world’s best wines await
And while Paris might be France's most famous spot, we think Bordeaux makes a very compelling case as one of the country's best city break destinations , especially when it's experienced from the sybaritic luxury of a sleek river cruising ship.
Located in south-west France, the region is just a short flight from the UK. Warm summers and mild winters, as well as the sandy, gravelly soil, create the perfect terroir (conditions) for vines. This is why Bordeaux is home to many of the best-known wine producers in the world: Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Latour and Château Margaux, to name but a few.
Three major rivers run through this famous region, and where the Dordogne and the Garonne meet, they form the Gironde estuary. This body of water lends itself particularly well to a river cruise, so that’s where we embarked on our seven-night sailing adventure.
We stepped aboard the five-star Scenic Diamond in the historic centre of Bordeaux at Port de La Lune, before heading to the Left Bank moorings at Fort Médoc and Cadillac, and the Right Bank towns of Libourne, Bourg and Blaye. Punctuated by charming medieval towns and endless vineyards, this route was the perfect way to explore Bordeaux.
As for when to visit, early September is particularly pleasant, when the heat gives way to a milder climate (ideal for touring wineries) with grapes hanging plump on the vines and the excitement of the impending harvest filling the air. That said, the summer months are blissful here too, and from May to October the days tend to be long, warm and sunny.
Read on to discover why a river cruise on Scenic Diamond is the best way to discover Bordeaux…
Taste incredible wines
The city of Bordeaux is vibrant, the countryside is idyllic and there’s even an impressive rugby team but, let’s be honest, the highlight of any visit is likely to be the wine. For oenophiles and casual drinkers alike, Bordeaux is one of the greatest regions in the world.
On this cruise, each new mooring opens up easy access to nearby appellations and during tours and tastings (all included in the price), the vineyards will let you into their world and share their secrets. In a region with some seven thousand wineries, we learned about the difference between Left Bank and Right Bank, the five (occasionally six) grape varieties that can go into a Bordeaux blend, and the historic Grand Cru Classé classification.
Stay in a floating five-star hotel
River cruising has come a long way since its introduction in the late 1960s and Scenic Diamond is a trailblazer in the world of luxury cruising. This ‘Space-Ship’ is the smart way to discover the city, its vineyards and the estuary – and all with the comfort and style of a great five-star hotel.
Our Balcony Suite on the Diamond Deck was unexpectedly spacious and elegantly furnished. We loved the full-length window and outdoor balcony with a nifty glass panel to open or close depending on the weather. We watched the appellations float by (corny but that’s what you do on a river cruise) with a morning coffee or glass of chardonnay cheerily delivered by our stateroom’s butler.
On board, there’s a wellness space, a hot tub on the sun deck and nightly entertainment in the swanky Panorama Lounge and Bar. One evening we were joined by Jérémy Dupouy, a street singer who was invited on board by the captain seven years ago and has now become a regular fixture serving up classic hits by The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Simon and Garfunkel.
Get under the (grape) skin of the region with local guides
Scenic’s included excursions will take you on a carefully planned journey through the region’s wineries. You’ll explore everything from the cobbled medieval streets of Saint-Émilion and the traditional Château Siaurac, to the boutique 82-hectare Château Gruaud Larose, with its high-tech tower and black box that can evaporate clouds to prevent hail from destroying the vines.
A highlight of the week was our visit to Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, a winery owned by luxury glassmaker Lalique, which is famed for producing exceptional sweet Sauternes wines. It also has a two Michelin-starred restaurant and is home to the world’s only full-size crystal wine barrel. It takes a day or two to get used to tasting wine after breakfast, but you’ll certainly get into the swing of things as the local guides bring it all to life.
Enjoy exquisite fine dining and classic dishes
Hats (or berets) off to Executive Chef Julian Grigore and his team – the all-inclusive food on Scenic Diamond is among the finest served on river ships. The elegant Crystal Dining Room is the main space for all meals, with the River Cafe offering daytime snacks and lighter lunches.
Meanwhile, French restaurant L’Amour serves a delicious tasting menu with accompanying fine wine by invitation. Our culinary highlight happened mid-week; the duck breast and duck leg confit à l’orange with a red cabbage spring roll and sautéed vegetables was truly a triumph.
But it's not all about eating on Scenic Diamond – you’ll also get to pick up some cooking tips. We booked a class at the intimate Scenic Culinaire, where the chef demonstrated how to make the perfect coq au vin. With walnut oil, chanterelle mushrooms and veal stock on the shopping list, the recipe is tucked away ready to impress house guests.
On our final afternoon, back at Port de La Lune, guests got to taste delicate oysters from Bassin d'Arcachon, which are harvested on the sun-drenched coast to the west and washed down with a zesty glass of Crémant De Loire, a fine sparkling wine.
Moor up and go off-piste in pretty French towns
Although tempted to join every excursion on offer, or enjoy the ship’s excellent facilities, we chose to explore the small Right Bank town of Blaye ourselves. The Citadel is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. This military complex has ramparts to explore, village streets and stunning estuary views. Back down in the town we visited a mid-week market, watched French life pass us by with a Café au lait and had an impromptu tasting of Merlot-dominant reds at the fabulous La Petite Cave – all before lunch.
Bordeaux is the French city that has it all
Move over Paris! We found Bordeaux easier to navigate and with a milder climate, we think it’s the perfect French city to explore year-round. Moored centrally at Port de La Lune, join one of Scenic’s excursions or borrow an e-bike to see the city at your own pace. With art galleries, museums, shopping streets and riverside walks you can make a stay in Bordeaux your own.
On our Cruise Director’s recommendation, we made our way to Les Bassins des Lumières for an immersive art exhibition of the works of Salvador Dali. This spine-tingling experience takes place in a WWII submarine base and is set to the music of Pink Floyd. Back on theme, we visited La Cité du Vin, an interactive museum of wine in an impressive building inspired by the swirl of wine in a glass.

Riley Strain's stepdad opens up about family's difficult conversations as Nashville search intensifies
Riley Strain, 22, disappeared on March 8 during a night out at Nashville bars.
Over 10 days into the search for missing college student Riley Strain , his family said they're starting to have difficult conversations.
"Put yourself in our shoes," Strain's stepfather, Chris Whiteid, told ABC News on Wednesday. "Your family, your brother, your sister -- they've been missing for almost two weeks."

"Everybody knows it, everybody's thinking it -- those conversations are starting to happen," he said. "It's not what we want. And I understand that people want to know what we're feeling -- we're feeling frustrated, we're feeling hurt, we're feeling depressed."
"Nobody knows what happened to Riley," he said.
Strain, a 22-year-old senior at the University of Missouri, went missing on March 8 after a night out in Nashville.
Strain and his Delta Chi fraternity brothers were in Nashville for their fraternity formal and went out in the city's Broadway area.
Whiteid said Strain spoke to his mom multiple times a day. On the night of March 8, Whiteid said Strain FaceTimed his mom from a bar and didn't sound intoxicated.

Strain and his mom exchanged more texts after the FaceTime call, Whiteid said. The last text Strain sent to his mom that night was, "I love you."
Surveillance cameras and police body cameras captured Strain's last known movements from about 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Police released this body camera video of Strain speaking to a police officer around 9:50 p.m. The officer asked how he was doing, and Strain, walking alone, responded, "I’m good, how are you?"
Whiteid said Strain sounded like his usual polite self in that interaction with the officer.
"Why he didn't ask for help, I can't answer," Whiteid said. "It makes no sense."
Police said there is no evidence of foul play.
On Sunday, Strain's bank card was found on the embankment between Gay Street and the Cumberland River, near Riverfront Park, police said.

Authorities have been searching by foot, by drone and by boat, including using boats with sonar equipment, according to police.
The United Cajun Navy has also arrived in Nashville to help and is organizing volunteers. David Flagg of the United Cajun Navy said they're searching the river and are putting together a "structured and organized ground search."
And the search is now stretching beyond Nashville, with authorities on Wednesday shutting down a dam to look through debris about 30 miles downstream from the riverbanks where Strain was last seen, according to Nashville ABC affiliate WKRN.
"We feel very confident with everything that's moving forward," Whiteid said of the police investigation, city support and volunteer searches. "There's not a playbook we can go by when, you know, something like this happens, so the more experienced people you can have in your corner, the better."
Whiteid said that he believes "somebody's seen something, somebody knows something."
"They just have to realize they need to share that information with us," he said.

First Alert Weather: Wind and river flooding to remain a problem into Monday night
By Matthew Villafane
Updated on: March 11, 2024 / 6:14 AM EDT / CBS New York
NEW YORK -- The rain from the latest storm to pummel the Tri-State Area is long gone, but the wind will be a factor well into Monday night.
A Yellow Alert has been issued for Monday due to the threat of high winds.
A Wind Advisory is in place for the entire region from 2 a.m. until 11 p.m. on Monday.
River Flood Warnings are in place along portions of the Passaic, Saddle, Millstone, Still, and Housatonic rivers through Wednesday morning.
It has been a rollercoaster of a week in terms of weather, and there is one more curve to get through before the ride ends. The latest storm to barrel through the region delivered another shot of heavy rain, which has led to river flooding across some of our local rivers. Rivers such as the Passaic have reached moderate flood stage. Flood warnings along these rivers are in place through early Wednesday.
That storm is now long gone, having reached the Canadian Maritimes, yet its effects will still be felt through Monday. Since its departure from our region, the storm has deepened rapidly. Meanwhile, a strong area of high pressure has moved in behind it. There is a steep difference in pressure between these two systems, and thus strong winds will be the result. Those winds elevated on Sunday, but are expected to get even stronger by Monday afternoon. Gusts as high as 55 mph are possible.
That level of wind is capable of taking down trees, and even power lines, which could lead to power outages. The saturated ground makes trees more susceptible to being toppled. Wind chills will dip into the teens and 20s by Monday morning as a result of those howling winds. These winds will last through Monday night, eventually slackening by Tuesday morning, once the storm moves further into Atlantic Canada.
After the winds calm down, we are in for a nice treat. Beginning on Tuesday, a major warmup is in store for the rest of the week. Highs will surge into the 60s, and maybe even the 70s in some areas. It will feel just delightful. We'll also get a chance to dry out, as the next chance of rain doesn't arrive until later on Friday.
