Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): Seafront paths and small beaches sit near the marina. Seek out César Manrique’s designs for a sense of place. Short rides reach lava caves and viewpoints. The day stays relaxed and clear.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Las Palmas blends the cathedral quarter with a long beach promenade. The Riva-facing lanes suit a gentle wander. Seafood spots cluster near the harbour. Coast and history balance well.
- Santa Cruz (Tenerife): The harbour city offers quick links inland. Teide’s high plateau gives wide horizons, while La Laguna brings quiet streets. Museums and plazas lie close to the pier. Either plan fits comfortably.
- Santa Cruz de La Palma (La Palma): Painted balconies rise above stepped streets. The market is located near the front, and the miradors are just a short ride away. Trails and coves are close. The island’s pace is unhurried.
- Funchal (Madeira): Take the cable car to Monte for gardens and views, then try a wicker toboggan ride if you wish—Madeira wine lodges and the market round off the visit. Hills and harbour make a tidy loop.
- Cádiz (tours to Seville): Sea walls and cathedral squares stand a few minutes from the ship. Coaches run to Seville for the Alcázar and Giralda. Both options follow simple timetables. Coast or city, each works well.
- Lisbon: Belém’s monastery and tower pair with Chiado and Alfama viewpoints. Trams and ferries connect the dots. It is a settled end before the sea day home.
