Let yourself be carried away by the river! Accompanied by a glass of wine, a canelé or even a real meal, enjoy an unforgettable moment in Bordeaux.
Short cruises in Bordeaux
Discover Bordeaux or the surrounding area by boat, along the water? It's possible during mini-cruises that offer a unique view of the Port de la Lune or the estuary.
For those who'd like to leave terra firma for just a few hours, the short boat tours offered by many river cruise companies are a must. When you set sail for a handful of hours, you'll take in the panoramic view of Bordeaux's facades, really feel the curve of the river and never look at the bridge decks in the same way again.
1/ Gastronomic cruise
You prefer to combine a stroll along the quays with gastronomy. The meal cruises organized by Les Bateaux Bordelais are for you. With two options: the lunch on the water aboard the Sicambre boat-restaurant. On the menu: regional cuisine prepared on board. Or, even more romantic, the gastronomic evening: still aboard the Sicambre, you can enjoy a seasonal dinner (3 menus to choose from) along the illuminated quays.
2/ Foodies cruises
The company Burdigala boards you for a 1 h 30 river cruise on the Garonne, a suspended moment to discover the jewels of the quays of Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This wine and canelé experience includes a complimentary glass of regional wine and a canelé, while enjoying commentary from a passionate local guide who shares the secrets of the city's history and heritage. The boat, accessible to all and air-conditioned, also welcomes pets and allows you to bring your own snacks, for a friendly and authentic discovery of Bordeaux from the river. Another instructive and epicurean way to discover the city from the river is the Cruise Crêpes de Garonne from the same company.
3/ Brunch Cruise
Brunch lovers are in for a treat: every Sunday, the Yacht de Bordeaux company takes you on board for a 2 hour brunch cruise during which you'll enjoy a sweet and savory continental buffet, made from seasonal produce. Enjoy a convivial moment admiring the most beautiful panoramas of Bordeaux from the Garonne, while sipping a local cocktail and a varied selection of dishes: pies, cakes, pancakes, charcuteries, cheeses, viennoiseries, hot and cold drinks. The boat is accessible to people with reduced mobility, air-conditioned and also welcomes pets, for a gourmet and relaxing experience on the water.
