Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Southampton

Day 2

Le Havre

Nestled on the shores of the English Channel, Le Havre, Paris's maritime gateway, boasts a storied past intertwined with maritime glory. Its bustling port has long been a lifeline for trade and travel, bearing witness to tales of seafaring adventure and cultural exchange. The climate, tempered by oceanic influences, offers a refreshing respite from the inland heat, making it an ideal escape for those seeking coastal tranquility. Here, authenticity thrives amid the bustling quays and cobblestone streets, where locals proudly showcase their Norman heritage through gastronomic delights and artisanal crafts. Don't miss the renowned Auguste Perret-designed architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing the city's resilience and innovation after World War II.

Day 4

Vigo

<p>Dating from Roman times, the Galician city of Vigo has a fine natural harbour and is renowned as the biggest fishing port in the world. It is also full of history - it was in this fjord-like quay that the English and Dutch defeated the French and Spanish fleets in 1702. Today, the attractive marinas stand in contrast to the industrialised areas of the city, while further exploration will reveal the characteristic 17th-century architecture and attractive countryside beyond. The charming Old Town is a delight, with its labyrinth of winding narrow streets and shaded squares. Nearby is the Cathedral city of Tui, and further to the north is the pilgrimage centre of Santiago de Compostela, which can be reached by car in approximately 1¼ hours.</p>

Day 5

La Coruña

<p>La Coruña, the largest city in Spain's Galicia region, is among the country's busiest ports. The remote Galicia area is tucked into the northwest corner of the Iberian Peninsula, surprising visitors with its green and misty countryside that is so much unlike other parts of Spain. The name "Galicia" is Celtic in origin, for it was the Celts who occupied the region around the 6th-century BC and erected fortifications. La Coruña was already considered an important port under the Romans. They were followed by an invasion of Suevians, Visigoths and, much later in 730, the Moors. It was after Galicia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Asturias that the epic saga of the Pilgrimage to Santiago (St. James) began. From the 15th century, overseas trade developed rapidly; in 1720, La Coruña was granted the privilege of trading with America - a right previously only held by Cadiz and Seville. This was the great era when adventurous men voyaged to the colonies and returned with vast riches. Today, the city's significant expansion is evident in three distinct quarters: the town centre located along the isthmus; the business and commercial centre with wide avenues and shopping streets; and the "Ensanche" to the south, occupied by warehouses and factories. Many of the buildings in the old section feature the characteristic glazed façades that have earned La Coruña the name "City of Crystal." Plaza Maria Pita, the beautiful main square, is named after the local heroine who saved the town in 1589 when she seized the English standard from the beacon and gave the alarm, warning her fellow townsmen of the English attack.</p>

Day 6

Bilbao

Bilbao Cruise Terminal serves as a gateway to the heart of Basque culture, situated strategically in the revitalized port area, a testament to the city's industrial past and its dynamic present. The climate here is oceanic, providing visitors with a comfortable atmosphere to explore year-round, often shielded from the extremes of Spanish weather. The terminal is not just a point of transit but a starting place to dive into the local life with nearby attractions like the Ribera Market or the buzzing nightlife of Pozas Street. A unique feature of this terminal is its proximity to the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum, just a stone's throw away, making high art immediately accessible to disembarking passengers and showcasing the city’s commitment to integrating tradition with avant-garde innovations.
