La Rochelle, France cruise holidays

With glistening white buildings lining the old harbour, the city of La Rochelle is known as ‘La Ville Blanche’. Further in, cobblestoned streets and medieval arcades make for a picturesque wander under the gaze of watchful gargoyles – yet the city is far from stuck in the past.

The 14th century twin towers of St Nicolas Fort and the Tour de la Chaine (named after the chain once drawn across the harbour to keep out night intruders) ensure a dramatic entrance when you cruise between them into the French Atlantic cruise port La Rochelle-Pallice.

The medieval city of La Rochelle is just 10 minutes away and offers an intriguing mix of well preserved and restored historic buildings and marketplaces within a lively modern city full of bars and restaurants and with an excellent aquarium. Tickle your taste buds with a visit to the small town of Cognac and its famous Courvoisier, Hennessy and Martell cellars. Along the way, you will pass through ancient towns like Saintes with Romanesque churches, arches and arenas.

A dramatic 3km-long bridge connects the city to the romantic Île de Ré, but despite the island’s connection to the mainland, it still retains its off-the-beaten-path feel with rural lanes leading to long sandy beaches.

What to see in La Rochelle

La Rochelle, a historic port city on the French Atlantic coast, is a vibrant blend of maritime history, architectural beauty and modern leisure. This enchanting city, with its iconic harbour and towers, offers a variety of experiences that cater to history enthusiasts, nature lovers and those seeking relaxation.

The heart of La Rochelle is its Old Harbour (Vieux Port), an area brimming with history and charm. Stroll along the quays, lined with restaurants and cafes, and soak in the lively atmosphere. The harbour is dominated by three impressive medieval towers, the guardians of the city's rich maritime past. The most notable is Saint Nicholas Tower, which you can climb to enjoy panoramic views of the city and the sea. These towers, once fortifications and prisons, now serve as fascinating museums that delve into La Rochelle’s history as a significant seafaring and trading hub.

One of Europe’s largest private aquariums, La Rochelle Aquarium, is a short walk from the port. This state-of-the-art facility takes you on an immersive journey through the oceans of the world. Home to over 12,000 marine animals, including sharks, jellyfish and tropical fish, the aquarium is both an educational and visually stunning experience. The exhibits are designed to raise awareness about marine conservation, making it an informative visit for all ages. Don’t miss the mesmerising jellyfish room and the opportunity to touch friendly rays in the touch pool.

For those looking to relax and soak up the sun, Minimes Beach is the perfect destination. Located a short distance from the city centre, this sandy beach offers a serene escape from the urban hustle. The beach is well-equipped with amenities and is ideal for swimming, sunbathing and enjoying watersports. The nearby marina, one of the largest in Europe, adds to the nautical charm of the area. The beachfront also features a promenade with cafes and shops, making it a great spot for a leisurely stroll or a seaside meal.

La Rochelle, France Cruises

Top la rochelle cruise deals, cruising to la rochelle.

Having been one of France's most important seaports during the Middle Ages, La Rochelle provides a fascinating glimpse at a bygone era, with ancient forts , cobbled walkways and gargoyle statues helping to transport visitors back to times of yore.

However, not everything here is old, and the city's historic attractions are wonderfully contrasted with the state-of-the-art aquarium - which is one of the finest in the world. Upon entering, visitors descend all the way down to the sea bed, where they then take a journey through a glass tunnel to discover the submarine wonders of the Atlantic.

Back on dry land, La Rochelle's most iconic attractions are the two defensive towers which stand at either side of the entrance to the harbour. Built in the 14th century, the towers were once connected by an enormous chain which would be raised each night in order to prevent invading ships from entering the port.

Elsewhere, the Musee du Nuveau Monde provides a fascinating insight into the role that La Rochelle once played as a major departure point for voyages to the Americas, while the Museum of Fine Arts boasts a superb collection of pieces dating from the 15th to 20th centuries.

Customer reviews for Anthem of the Seas

Staff were really nice and friendly . Restaurant was great and room spacious and very clean. Entertainment was good but could have rotated better. Excursion were good but timescale to do things while ship was docked were not long enough.

Anthem is a fantastic ship. So much to do with great food and entertainment.

It was a fantastic cruise from quick check into the whole experience onboard the Ship. Friendly staff and wonderful surroundings through out Anthem of the Seas. Our cabin was exactly what we wanted, and lived up to our expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise, and thank you to Iglu cruises for helping us find it. It will probably be our last, but what a cruise to finish with.

Staff professional and polite. Cabin steward excellent as was dining attendant in Coastal Kitchen. Food great in all venues.

One of the most beautiful landmarks in Le Havre, St. Joseph’s Church was built 50 years ago and has a unique post-war design, with a 107m high ceiling, and a combination of concrete and stained glass. Situated in the centre of the city, this marvel of architecture is worth a visit when in Le Havre for a stop over.

Southampton / Great Britain

Southampton  is the largest city in the ceremonial county of Hampshire, England. It is 69 miles (111 km) south-west of London and 15 miles (24 km) west north-west of Portsmouth. Southampton is a major port and the closest city to the New Forest. It lies at the northernmost point of Southampton Water at the confluence of the Rivers Test and Itchen, with the River Hamble joining to the south of the urban area. The city, which is a unitary authority, has an estimated population of 253,651. The city's name is sometimes abbreviated in writing to "So'ton" or "Soton", and a resident of Southampton is called a Sotonian.

Significant employers in the city include Southampton City Council, the University of Southampton, Solent University, Southampton Airport, Ordnance Survey, BBC South, the NHS, ABP and Carnival UK. Southampton is noted for its association with the RMS  Titanic , the Spitfire and more generally in the World War II narrative as one of the departure points for D-Day, and more recently as the home port of a number of the largest cruise ships in the world. Southampton has a large shopping centre and retail park, Westquay. In 2014, the city council approved a neighbouring followup Westquay South which opened in 2016–2017.

In the 2001 census Southampton and Portsmouth were recorded as being parts of separate urban areas; however by the time of the 2011 census they had merged apolitically to become the sixth-largest built-up area in England with a population of 855,569. This built-up area is part of the metropolitan area known as South Hampshire, which is also known as  Solent City , particularly in the media when discussing local governance organisational changes. With a population of over 1.5 million this makes the region one of the United Kingdom's most populous metropolitan areas.

La Rochelle / France

Bilbao / spain.

Bilbao  is a city in northern Spain, the largest city in the province of Biscay and in the Basque Country as a whole. It is also the largest city proper in northern Spain. Bilbao is the tenth largest city in Spain, with a population of 345,141 as of 2015. The Bilbao metropolitan area has roughly 1 million inhabitants, making it one of the most populous metropolitan areas in northern Spain; with a population of 875,552 the comarca of Greater Bilbao is the fifth-largest urban area in Spain. Bilbao is also the main urban area in what is defined as the Greater Basque region.

Bilbao is situated in the north-central part of Spain, some 16 kilometres (10 mi) south of the Bay of Biscay, where the economic social development is located, where the estuary of Bilbao is formed. Its main urban core is surrounded by two small mountain ranges with an average elevation of 400 metres (1,300 ft). Its climate is shaped by the Bay of Biscay low-pressure systems and mild air, moderating summer temperatures by Iberian standards, with low sunshine and high rainfall. The annual temperature range is low for its latitude.

After its foundation in the early 14th century by Diego López V de Haro, head of the powerful Haro family, Bilbao was a commercial hub of the Basque Country that enjoyed significant importance in Green Spain. This was due to its port activity based on the export of iron extracted from the Biscayan quarries. Throughout the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, Bilbao experienced heavy industrialisation, making it the centre of the second-most industrialised region of Spain, behind Barcelona. At the same time an extraordinary population explosion prompted the annexation of several adjacent municipalities. Nowadays, Bilbao is a vigorous service city that is experiencing an ongoing social, economic, and aesthetic revitalisation process, started by the iconic Bilbao Guggenheim Museum, and continued by infrastructure investments, such as the airport terminal, the rapid transit system, the tram line, the Azkuna Zentroa, and the currently under development Abandoibarra and Zorrozaurrerenewal projects.

Bilbao is also home to football club Athletic Club de Bilbao, a significant symbol for Basque nationalism due to its promotion of only Basque players and one of the most successful clubs in Spanish football history.

On 19 May 2010, the city of Bilbao was recognised with the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize, awarded by the city state of Singapore, in collaboration with the Swedish Nobel Academy. Considered the Nobel Prize for urbanism, it was handed out on 29 June 2010. On 7 January 2013, its mayor, Iñaki Azkuna, received the 2012 World Mayor Prize awarded every two years by the British foundation The City Mayors Foundation, in recognition of the urban transformation experienced by the Biscayan capital since the 1990s. On 8 November 2017, Bilbao was chosen the Best European City 2018 at The Urbanism Awards 2018, awarded by the international organisation The Academy of Urbanism.

La Coruña / Spain

A Coruña is a city and municipality of Galicia, Spain. It is the second most populated city in the autonomous community and seventeenth overall in the country. The city is the provincial capital of the province of the same name, having also served as political capital of the Kingdom of Galicia from the 16th to the 19th centuries, and as a regional administrative centre between 1833 and 1982, before being replaced by Santiago de Compostela.

A Coruña is a busy port located on a promontory in the Golfo Ártabro, a large gulf on the Atlantic Ocean. It provides a distribution point for agricultural goods from the region.

Cruising to La Rochelle, France

La rochelle, france tourist information..

The focus of the town is the old harbour, a lovely part of the town and very picturesque with its two monumental towers ( St Nicolas Tower and the Tower of the Chain ) either side of the port entrance, through which you can watch the boats enter. A third tower, the ‘ Tower of the Lantern ‘ is connected to the Chain Tower by a section of the ramparts that originally defended the town.

St Nicolas tower

The leaning tower of St Nicolas at the entrance to the old harbour was built in the early 14th century from the stones of a castle belonging to Henry II. Three times between the 12th and 14th centuries, La Rochelle was English. The St Nicolas tower contains a maze of steps and chambers, where soldiers have scratched their graffiti. There’s a great view from the top.

The old town, just behind the harbour, is extensive and also very well preserved and restored and dates mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The main shopping streets especially have many fine buildings, but you will also need to explore the side streets in this part of the town. The whole of the historic centre of La Rochelle has an impressive unified appearance, with arcaded streets, houses constructed in the local light stone, and light grey shutters. Boutiques now occupy the ground floor of many of the buildings.
