With a variety of shore tours available, you have the option to tailor your cruise holiday to meet your needs. From La Pallice, enjoy a tour of La Rochelle’s arcaded streets, ancient wooden houses and stately mansions. This well-preserved city also has a bustling fishing harbour, and excellent shops and restaurants.

No visit to Bilbao is complete without a visit to the Guggenheim Museum, but before venturing inside, take a walk around the perimeter to take in just how spectacular the building is. Travel slightly further afield, and admire the surrounding Alamedas, or take a tour of the Basque coastline.

After a stop at Aviles in Spain, your cruise ship continues on to St. Peter Port in Guernsey, giving you the opportunity to discover its unique history. A quaint and charming town, there is a mix of tiered gardens, stylish shops and chic cafés. Castle Cornet has stood guard over the town for 800 years. Once cut off by the tide, it now provides a spectacular backdrop to the town as well as occasionally staging theatre productions and musical events. The Old Quarter here is well worth a visit, with its eclectic mix of antique shops and locally made crafts, of course all of which are competitively priced, as the duty rates are lower than in the UK.

Back by popular demand, Talon will be joining this week long cruise. The band will be performing ‘The Acousitc Collection’ on 3 separate evenings during the cruise duration, where guests will also be treated to their trade mark laid back banter, exquisite 4 part harmony all to their favourite acoustic songs and of course a few Eagles classics. On the remaining 4 nights Fred Olsen’s entertainment programme continues, both in the main lounge and surrounding bars.

• A Welcome Drinks Party for our group
