The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Step inside one of Burgundy's most magnificent Romanesque abbeys with your own expert private guide. This 1,000-year-old masterpiece is a bucket-list encounter with medieval France at its most serene and sublime.
Perched on a rocky spur above the Burgundian hills, the 10th-century Brancion Castle and its perfectly preserved medieval village are among France's most atmospheric secret treasures. An unmissable private excursion from Tournus.
The hills around Tournus are the gateway to the Mâconnais, home to some of Burgundy's most celebrated Chardonnays. A private, expert-led cellar visit and tasting at a prestigious local domaine is the definitive Burgundian luxury experience.
Glide along the tranquil Saône on a private boat, taking in the medieval towers of Tournus from the water and drifting through some of Burgundy's most untouched river scenery. A beautifully slow, utterly luxurious counterpoint to port bustle.
Once the most powerful monastery in Christendom, Cluny Abbey is a monumental World Heritage landmark just 25 km from Tournus. A private expert-guided visit to its extraordinary ruins and museum is a profound, bucket-list encounter with medieval Europe.
Tournus itself is a jewel of Burgundian gastronomy — its Saturday market, legendary charcutiers, and cave-aged cheeses are among the region's finest pleasures. A private food-and-wine walking tour here is an intimate, sensory immersion into real Burgundian life.
