Ports of Call
Cruise from Liverpool
- Pauillac (Overnight onboard): Gateway to Bordeaux wine country. Visit vineyards along the Médoc, stroll the quayside, or enjoy a riverside dinner. The overnight stay suits its mellow pace.
- Getxo (for Bilbao): Coastal town with easy metro links to Bilbao. Visit the Guggenheim, explore Casco Viejo, or walk the promenade. Art and sea air combine well here.
- Funchal (Madeira) (Overnight onboard): Atlantic island capital with gardens and viewpoints. Ride the cable car to Monte, sample local wine, or explore the old town by night. The overnight stay adds warmth and calm.
- Lisbon: Hilly city of trams and tiled façades. Visit Belém Tower, ride Tram 28, or linger in Alfama’s alleys. Bright, musical, and full of history.
- Leixões (Portugal): Port near Porto. Walk the Douro riverfront, tour cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, or explore the Ribeira quarter. It’s a day for wine and views.
