Ports of Call
Cruise from Liverpool
- Lisbon: Hills, viewpoints and river light. Tram through Alfama, then Belém for Jerónimos and the tower. Chiado’s streets and the waterfront round it off. Major sights on simple routes.
- Cádiz (tours to Seville): Sea walls and cathedral squares a few minutes from the quay. Stay local for markets and lanes, or take the coach to Seville’s Alcázar and Giralda. Both plans run on clear timetables—coast or city—either works.
- Málaga: Art-filled centre with Moorish walls. Climb the Alcazaba, step into the cathedral, then call at the Picasso Museum. Beach paths edge the marina—a compact day with strong highlights.
- Ceuta: Spanish enclave on the African shore with a palm-lined promenade. See the Royal Walls and small museums, then stroll the seafront. Cafés cluster near the harbour. It’s a neat change of scene.
- Funchal (Madeira): Cable car to Monte for gardens and views, with a short levada walk if you wish. Market halls and seafront cafés sit close by—hills and harbour fit neatly in a day—a calm island pause mid-cruise.
- Porto (Leixões): Metro into Ribeira’s riverfront and blue-tiled churches. Cross to Vila Nova de Gaia for a cellar visit. Bridges and viewpoints give easy photo stops. City exploring with minimal transfers.
