Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- La Coruña: Oceanfront walks under the Tower of Hercules. Stay local for plazas and seafood, or day-trip to Santiago’s cathedral. Galicia balances coast and city nicely.
- Funchal (Madeira) (Overnight onboard): Flowered hillsides and cable-car views. Visit Monte and the gardens, then sample Madeira wine in the old lanes. The overnight invites a slow evening ashore.
- Santa Cruz de La Palma (La Palma): Balconies, cobbles and gentle rhythms. Stroll Calle Real, dip into the maritime museum, and find a shady square. It feels authentic and welcoming.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): City beaches and culture within reach. See the Auditorio, browse the market, or head to La Laguna’s old quarter. Teide adds a big-landscape option.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Historic Vegueta and a long city beach. Visit Casa de Colón, walk Las Canteras, and try tapas near the cathedral. Easy-going and varied.
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): Volcanic sculptures and bright seas. Choose Timanfaya’s lava fields or Jameos del Agua, then pause by Charco de San Ginés. The island’s geology steals the show.
- Vigo: Harbour city with good viewpoints. Climb to the Castro Fortress or enjoy seafood in the old quarter. Straightforward and walkable.
