Ports of Call
Cruise from Portsmouth
- Bordeaux (Overnight onboard): Elegant squares and riverside promenades. Visit Place de la Bourse and Cité du Vin by day, then enjoy a slow dinner in the old town. The overnight stay makes the city glow a little longer.
- La Coruña (tours to Santiago de Compostela): Oceanfront walks under the Tower of Hercules. Stay local for plazas and seafood, or take the pilgrimage road to Santiago’s cathedral. Galicia’s mix of coast and culture is the draw.
- Gijón: Working Asturian port with green headlands. Explore Cimavilla’s old quarter and the waterfront path—a friendly spot for cider and sea views.
- Santander: A bright bay city with beaches close by. Stroll the Magdalena Peninsula and the Paseo de Pereda, or visit the Centro Botín: fresh air and easy walking.
- Plymouth: Maritime heritage at the Hoe and Royal William Yard. Trace the Barbican’s lanes or visit the Box museum—a neat final stop with harbour views.
