Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Vigo: Galician harbour with strong seafood and bay views. Climb to Castro Fortress, explore the old quarter, or ferry to the Cíes Islands in season. Straightforward and lively.
- Lisbon: Hills, trams and tiled facades. Ride out to Belém for monuments and pastries, then wander Alfama’s lanes. River light does the rest.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): City beaches and culture within reach. See the Auditorio, browse the market, or head to La Laguna. Teide brings the big scenery.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Vegueta’s old quarter beside a long city beach. Visit Casa de Colón, stroll Las Canteras, and pause for tapas. A balanced day ashore.
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): Volcanic landscapes with Manrique’s touch. Choose Timanfaya or Jameos del Agua, then circle Charco de San Ginés. Bright seas, black rock.
- Santa Cruz de La Palma (La Palma): Balconies, cobbles and a slower rhythm. Walk Calle Real, visit the maritime museum, and find a shady square. Calm and unspoilt.
- Funchal (Madeira): Terraced hillsides and gardens. Take the cable car to Monte, visit the botanical gardens, and sample Madeira wine in the old town—gentle walking with Atlantic backdrops.
