Enjoy a convenient and breathtaking after-dark departure down the Thames from our exclusive mooring near London’s Tower Bridge past the beautifully illuminated Tower of London, Canary Wharf, the Cutty Sark Clipper, and other landmarks. During the cruise across the Channel, enjoy pampering from your thoughtful and attentive crew, world-class dining, and venues with expansive windows perfect for viewing the varied and interesting Channel traffic. The ramparts of St. Malo herald your arrival in the Brittany region of France, known for its seafood, scenery, and Celtic heritage. Stretch your legs with a walk around the ramparts or explore the Old Town within the walls where you can admire grand houses dating from the days of the corsairs. After working up an appetite, there are creamy Cancale oysters and authentic buckwheat crêpes to taste and cidre to sip. But the highlight of your visit may be viewing the ethereal beauty of Mont St. Michel, a UNESCO site considered one of the great religious sites in all of Europe. The sandcastle-like abbey perching on a tiny island is a technical and artistic wonder, one that Victor Hugo described as being "to the ocean what the Pyramid of Cheops is to the desert." Well worth the journey across the Channel.
