Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- La Rochelle: Arcaded streets, twin harbour towers, and a lively Old Port. Visit the Maritime Museum or the aquarium, a short walk from the quay. Markets and crêperies thread the lanes behind the waterfront. It’s compact and easy to explore on foot.
- Getxo (for Bilbao): Seaside town linked to Bilbao by metro and the Vizcaya Bridge. Head into Bilbao for the Guggenheim and pintxos in the old quarter. Stay local for promenade walks and beach views. It’s a flexible call with the city or coast in reach.
- A Coruña: Atlantic promenade and the Tower of Hercules lighthouse. Maria Pita Square anchors cafés and the old town. Museums sit close to the harbour route—a flat, walkable loop from pier to peninsula.
- Le Havre (Paris): Wide modernist avenues and strong art credentials at MuMa. Trains run to Paris for headline sights. Étretat’s chalk cliffs make a clear alternative. Plans are simple whichever way you turn.
