Since the start of April 2018, there have been 44 calls at the cruise-liner terminals of Atlantic Port of Bordeaux.

Having grown over many years, Bordeaux has become an unmissable port of call, with 58 calls in total confirmed for 2019. This is a record, while the number of calls has more than doubled in under ten years.

The port and the city of Bordeaux have taken advantage of planned works on the power line during this summer, to finance additional operations to heighten the power line and bring it into alignment with the Pont d’Aquitaine bridge. Larger ships will be allowed into Bordeaux city center from season 2019 and onwards.

Ships up to 262 meters long, with a beam of 32 meters, a 50 meters air draft and 7.5 meters draft will be able to sail into the city center with no restrictions.
Ships up to 8 meters draft and 53 meters air draft (and above 262 meters long) will also be allowed to access Bordeaux city center after getting the pilots and harbor master’s approval, according to the tidal conditions expected at the date of the planned call.

Larger ships can still call in Le Verdon terminal, where no size or draft restrictions apply.

Royan to welcome river cruise boats one year from now.

While, until now, the “crosswise sea limits” have meant that river cruises have not been able to drop anchor in the port of Royan, the laws of the blue economy are finally lifting this administrative barrier.

As such, the city is getting ready to welcome visitors from cruise boats, hopefully from summer 2019. The redevelopment of the quays and the organisation of necessary procedures is underway.
