Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Funchal (Madeira): Hilltop views and flower-filled gardens. Take the cable car to Monte, visit the botanical gardens, and sample Madeira wine in the old town—gentle walking with Atlantic backdrops.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): City beaches and cultural stops within easy reach. See the Auditorio, browse the market, or head inland to La Laguna. Teide excursions add a big landscape option.
- Santa Cruz de La Palma (La Palma): Balconies, cobbles and a slower rhythm. Stroll Calle Real, visit the maritime museum, and pause for coffee by the square. Feels authentic and unhurried.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Historic Vegueta beside a fine city beach. Visit Casa de Colón, walk Las Canteras, and try tapas near the cathedral—a good blend of culture and coast.
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): Volcanic forms and Manrique’s artful touch. Choose Timanfaya for lava fields or Jameos del Agua for cave pools. Charco de San Ginés is ideal for a brief stroll.
- Lisbon: Miradouros, tiled facades and riverside life. Ride a tram, explore Belém’s monuments, and drift through Alfama. Sunset light over the Tagus is hard to beat.
