Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Porto (Leixões): Metro into Ribeira’s riverfront lanes and tiled churches. Cross to Vila Nova de Gaia for a port cellar visit. Bridges and viewpoints give easy photo stops. It’s a clear city plan with minimal transfers.
- Lisbon: Belém’s monuments pair with Alfama’s viewpoints. Tram rides quickly sketch the old quarters. Riverside walks slow the pace later on. Navigation is straightforward.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Old-town Vegueta contrasts with the long city beach. Museums and the cathedral sit close together. The promenade suits an easy afternoon circuit—a balanced call of coast and culture.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): Quick tram to La Laguna or a day up in Teide National Park. Plazas, parks, and museums lie near the front. City and mountain options both deliver. Plans stay flexible.
- Funchal (Madeira): Cable car to Monte, gardens, and optional wicker toboggan. Market stalls and seafront cafés round things off. A short levada walk provides a welcome green shade. Hills and harbour fit neatly in a day.
- Vigo: Castle views from Castro Park and seafood near the marina. Ferries serve the Cíes Islands in season. The old town is compact and signed. Easy to cover highlights on foot.
