I was fortunate to sail on Bon Voyage from Bordeaux in August, and was really very pleasantly surprised with the whole package. Not only was the ship very well appointed (you only had to look across the decks of the other ships moored up next to us in heart of Bordeaux to see how much more luxurious the deck furniture, layout and facilities were) - but the food/wine, staff and perhaps most importantly experiences /tours on land were well above the level we'd seen elsewhere. Particular highlights were watching the sun rise from the Sand Dune at Pyla Sand Dune (incredible and well worth going for an early morning dip) and the cycling tour of the Vineyards at St Emillion (the tour guides were EXCELLENT). The cruise director, AJ was also worth mentioning as brought at a lot of heart and care to the whole experience, which in conclusion I must say is well worth the extra (if the fares are indeed higher than others).
