Cruise from Southampton
- Funchal (Madeira): Hillside city with sea views and gardens. Ride the cable car, visit Monte Palace, or walk the old town streets. It balances nature and small-city charm.
- Praia (Santiago): Capital with a mix of colonial and modern life. Explore the Plateau district or the local markets. It shows everyday Cape Verde beyond the resorts.
- Mindelo (São Vicente): Colourful harbour town with music and cafés. Walk the waterfront or visit cultural sites. It has a relaxed, local feel.
- Arrecife (Lanzarote): White buildings and volcanic surroundings. Visit Timanfaya or stroll along the lagoon. It’s shaped by both sea and lava.
- Las Palmas (Gran Canaria): Long beaches and historic quarters. Explore Vegueta or relax by the coast. It offers both city and seaside in one stop.
- Cádiz: Old streets and open squares by the sea. Walk the cathedral area or enjoy the promenade. It feels compact and easy to explore.
- Lisbon: Built across hills with river views. Ride the tram, visit Belém, or walk through Alfama. It rewards slow exploration and good walking shoes.
