Cadillac Port redefines the typical cruise stop by inviting travelers to linger in a charming Gironde town that feels like a private doorway to Bordeaux’s wine country. Its signature experiences anchor the visit: a scenic Garonne river stroll past the 18th-century château, an intimate château-and-vineyard visit with a private wine tasting of Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux and local specialties, and a sunset shore excursion along which the river’s glow meets hillside vines. While nearby destinations such as Saint-Émilion and Médoc tempt with world-famous wines, Cadillac’s real allure lies in its own riverfront markets, serene streets, and window views of the chateau-dotted landscape. The port’s fleet design emphasizes intimate, easy dockings with boutique vessels purpose-built for river cruising, offering smooth embarkation and disembarkation. Onboard services lean into the region: multilingual sommeliers, Bordeaux-style culinary demonstrations, wine-pairing menus, and tailor-made shore experiences that connect guests with the terroir, crafts, and conversations that define Cadillac Côtes de Bordeaux.
