Cruise from Southampton
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): Santa Cruz is Tenerife’s capital, with gardens, shopping streets and access to volcanic scenery. Visit the Auditorio de Tenerife, explore García Sanabria Park, or take a longer tour towards Mount Teide. It gives the cruise a bright Atlantic island stop before the Caribbean crossing.
- St. Kitts: St. Kitts combines old sugar estates, mountain views and coastal scenery. Visit Brimstone Hill Fortress, ride the scenic railway, or relax near Frigate Bay. It offers a good mix of history, island views and beach time.
- Bridgetown (Barbados) (Overnight onboard): Bridgetown has beaches, historic streets and easy access to island tours. Spend time at Carlisle Bay, visit the capital’s older buildings, or take a rum distillery tour. The overnight stay gives more time for a relaxed evening ashore and a full day on the island.
- St. George’s (Grenada): St. George’s curves around a natural harbour, with colourful buildings and hillside views. Visit the market, see Fort George, or head to Grand Anse Beach for clear water and soft sand. Grenada’s spice heritage gives the port a character of its own.
- Castries (St. Lucia): Castries is the gateway to St. Lucia’s bays, rainforest and mountain scenery. Visit the Pitons, take a coastal cruise, or explore local markets and viewpoints near the capital. It is one of the most scenic island calls on this route.
- Philipsburg (St. Maarten): Philipsburg has a long beach, duty-free shops and an easy waterfront close to the ship. Walk along the boardwalk, browse Front Street, or take an island tour for beaches and viewpoints. It is a lively Caribbean stop with plenty within reach.
- St. John’s (Antigua) (Overnight onboard): St. John’s is Antigua’s capital and a gateway to beaches, harbours and island viewpoints. Visit the market, see Nelson’s Dockyard, or take a coastal tour around the island. The overnight stay gives extra time to enjoy the port at a slower pace.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Las Palmas combines historic streets, beach life and a busy Atlantic port. Walk through Vegueta, visit Casa de Colón, or spend time at Las Canteras beach. It makes a useful Canary Islands call on the return crossing.
- La Coruna: La Coruna is a Galician coastal city with seafront walks, glass-fronted balconies and a strong maritime setting. Visit the Tower of Hercules, explore the old town, or enjoy seafood near the harbour. It offers a final stop in northern Spain before the ship returns to Southampton.
