Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Funchal (Madeira): Garden terraces and cable-car rides to Monte. Wander the gardens and market, or add a short levada walk. Seafront cafés sit close to the pier. Hills and harbour fit neatly in a day.
- Santa Cruz de La Palma (La Palma): Wooden balconies and a compact old town. Views come quickly from nearby miradors or the Caldera de Taburiente. Market stalls line the main street for easy stops. Quiet charm rewards an unhurried pace.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): Tram to La Laguna’s UNESCO old quarter or a coach to Teide National Park. Museums and plazas cluster near the front. City time and volcanic scenery both work well. It’s flexible and close-knit.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Vegueta’s cathedral quarter meets the long Las Canteras promenade. Museums, cafés and the beach all sit close. A stroll balances coast and culture. Simple to plan on foot.
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): Marina paths and small beaches near the quay. Short rides reach Jameos del Agua and lava caves. César Manrique’s work dots the island—distinct landscapes within easy transfers.
- Cádiz (tours to Seville): Sea walls and cathedral lanes lie minutes from the ship. Stay local for markets and squares, or head to Seville for the Alcázar and Giralda. Both options run on clear timetables. Coast or city, each delivers.
- Lisbon: Belém’s monastery and tower pair with Alfama’s viewpoints. Tram rides quickly sketch the old quarters. Riverside walks slow the pace later on—taking in significant sights without long transfers.
