8 Nights on Star Legend

Some experiences are just too good to rush, and this voyage to Northern Spain, Portugal, and Bordeaux is one of them. That’s why our thoughtfully planned itinerary includes long days in port and overnight stays — time to savor the very best of this bountiful region. Taste Galicia’s legendary seafood fresh from the Bay of Biscay, sample port within sight of the Douro River in Porto, share pintxos with new Basque friends, and wine and dine amid French vineyards on the “hill with a thousand chateaux.” When you’re not busy pampering your palate, delve into the fascinating history of this region. There are ancient Roman baths in Gijon, medieval Old Towns, and countless modern wonders like Portugal’s stunning, multicolored Pena Palace and the iconic Guggenheim in Bilbao.

The rhythm of Lisbon invites you to join its captivating dance. This splendid capital city on the banks of the Rio Teja offers a warm welcome and an unparalleled blend of architectural styles. Elegant outdoor cafés line the cobbled sidewalks. Turn-of-the-century funiculars climb the scenic hills. Find the UNESCO sites of the Tower of Belem and the Monastery of the Hieronymites. And, everywhere, the city engages you with its easy style and remarkable charm.

Built into the granite cliffs at the mouth of the Rio Douro, the hilly city of Porto presents a heady juxtaposition of eras and styles. Here, medieval alleyways, orderly neighborhood squares, and ornate Baroque churches readily intermingle. Porto's historic heart is a UNESCO site of winding lanes, zigzagging staircases and tiled churches. The highlight, though, is a taste of port wine at its best - a happy accident dating from the 17th century when brandy was discovered to preserve wine for transit. After your choice of palate-pleasing shore excursions, return for an onboard fado folk music performance.
