Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- A Coruña: Curved bay, lighthouse views, and a broad seafront. Climb the Tower of Hercules or loop the headland path. Maria Pita Square is set for a café stop—a clear, walkable plan from pier to old town.
- Gijón: Coastal city with a hilltop old quarter. Wander Cimavilla, then drop to the marina and beaches. Roman baths and museums sit close by—sea air and easy streets.
- Santander: Elegant bay and promontory walks. Centro Botín brings art and harbour views, while Magdalena Peninsula adds gardens and coastline. Beaches are just minutes from the centre—a soft-paced day on foot.
- La Rochelle: Arcaded streets and twin harbour towers. Visit the Old Port, then the aquarium or Maritime Museum. Markets and crêperies fill the lanes. Compact and close to the quay.
