Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Lisbon: Hills and river views with Belém’s monastery and tower to the west. Ride Tram 28 through the old quarters or stroll the waterfront. Viewpoints can be easily linked by tram or on foot, offering momentous sights without long transfers.
- Funchal (Madeira): Cable car to Monte for gardens and outlooks. Try a short levada walk or browse the market near the front. Promenades curve along the harbour. It’s a gentle island day with clear options.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Vegueta’s cathedral quarter pairs well with the Las Canteras promenade. Museums and cafés are close to the centre. A beach stroll fits neatly after the old town—culture and coast in one stop.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): Tram to La Laguna’s UNESCO old quarter, or head inland for Teide’s volcanic plateau. Plazas and museums sit near the port. Both city time and highland scenery work well. Choices stay simple.
- 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—a relaxed call with a distinct character.
- Vigo: Harbour city climbing to the Castro Fortress for a broad view. Seafood streets cluster below in the old quarter. Boats to the Cíes Islands run in season. It’s compact and easy to navigate.
