French-owned CroisiEurope launched MS Cyrano de Bergerac in Bordeaux in May 2013. The ship is dedicated to cruising the Gironde estuary out of Bordeaux, sailing the Garonne and the Dordogne rivers, principally to visit the great wine-growing areas of the Medoc on itineraries ranging from four to eight nights. The vessel is a significant step up from the line’s older ships, with clean, fresh green-and-white livery; bright, cheerful decor; and light-filled interiors. Its older sister, Princesse d’Aquitaine, which sails the same route, is significantly darker and more dated inside.
