Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Funchal (Madeira): Funchal sits between the Atlantic and Madeira’s steep green hills. Explore the old town, visit the market, ride the cable car to Monte, or take a tour to the island viewpoints. It is a scenic first call before the longer Atlantic crossing.
- Basseterre (St. Kitts): Basseterre is St. Kitts’ capital and a gateway to old sugar estates, beaches and mountain views. Visit Brimstone Hill Fortress, ride the scenic railway, or relax near Frigate Bay. It gives the Caribbean section a good mix of history, scenery and coast.
- Bridgetown (Barbados) (Overnight onboard): Bridgetown offers beaches, historic streets and easy island touring. 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.
- 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 markets and viewpoints near the capital. It is one of the route’s most scenic island calls.
- 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.
- Roseau (Dominica): Roseau is a compact capital with rainforest, rivers and volcanic landscapes close by. Visit Trafalgar Falls, explore the botanic gardens, or take a tour of the island’s green interior. It suits passengers who prefer nature and a less resort-led day ashore.
- English Harbour (Antigua): English Harbour is known for Nelson’s Dockyard, sheltered waters and old naval buildings. Explore the historic dockyard, visit nearby viewpoints, or head to one of Antigua’s beaches. It offers a more heritage-focused call than the island’s capital.
- Amber Cove: Amber Cove is a cruise port on the Dominican Republic’s north coast, with beaches and excursions nearby. Use it for poolside time, coastal tours, waterfalls, or trips towards Puerto Plata. It provides passengers with a convenient base for both relaxation and inland exploration.
- Philipsburg (St. Maarten): Philipsburg has a long beach, duty-free shops and an easy waterfront close to the ship. Walk the boardwalk, browse Front Street, or take an island tour for beaches and viewpoints. It is a lively Dutch Caribbean stop with plenty within reach.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): Santa Cruz is Tenerife’s capital, with gardens, shops and access to volcanic landscapes. Visit the Auditorio de Tenerife, explore García Sanabria Park, or take a tour towards Mount Teide. It is a useful final warm-weather call before the return to Southampton.
