At Last – Something New For 2014 !
Anyone who is a P&O cruises fan will be delighted to know that the programme for 2014, which has just been released, has lots of new and exciting destinations.
Previous years have seen more of the ” same old same old ” destinations, so the 2014 programme is like a breath of fresh air designed to keep passengers loyal to P&O interested in the product.
One of the most interesting and unusual programmes cruises will be Adonia`s Discovery cruises.
She will be sailing up the Guadalquivir River (the only navigable river in Spain) into the heart of Seville where she will berth overnight, and sailing up the River Garonne into Bordeaux, capital of the world‟s wine industry.
The Guadalquivir is among the longest rivers in Spain, watering and maintaining both an unspoiled natural environment and a rich and varied agricultural region existing side by side. Fields of cereals, cotton, olives, and citrus flourish on the plains, and rice and grapes for the famous Jerez sherry wine on the coast, where fighting bulls are also bred. A journey up the river will take you into the heart of Seville, who`s centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There is an amazing list of sights in Seville, Spain’s most beautiful city according to most. It has an incredible appeal to both foreigners and Spaniards because of its light, the way Sevillanos enjoy themselves and its gorgeous architecture. It is also home to the opera by Rossinni – the Barber of Seville.
The river Garonne runs for 357 miles through southwestern France and northern Spain. From its headwaters in the Pyrenees, it follows the Aran Valley northward into France, flowing through Toulouse on its way to Bordeaux, where it meets the Gironde estuary—which flows into the Atlantic Ocean at the Bay of Biscay. Despite the presence of some 50 locks, the Garonne is one of the few rivers in Europe that exhibit a tidal bore, a phenomenon by which a wave of water can flow back upriver. Towns along the Garonne include Toulouse, Bordeaux and Blaye
These are just a couple of new destinations for 2014, and are likely to be amongst the most popular of the new programme. We are able to start booking on 8th April ( unless you are Caribbean, Ligurian or Baltic Peninsular members who can book from 5th April) so why not give me a call to pre-register your interest now so that we can secure the cabin of your choice.
