14 Night Cruise sailing from Southampton roundtrip aboard Independence of the Seas.

Meet Independence of the Seas, the third in our spectacular Freedom class of ships. Seasonally ported in Southampton, England for part of the year, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida the rest of the year, this ship offers all of the amazing onboard experiences you'd expect from our Freedom Class of ships, while cruising to your choice of destinations in Europe or the Caribbean.

Highlights of this cruise:

Southampton
One of the world's most famed ports, Southampton served as the launching point of the Mayflower and the Titanic. Today, it's one of the busiest passenger ports and home to a waterfront dotted with restaurants, shops and curios.

Vigo
A busy, mid-sized port on the Atlantic Coast, Vigo is located just north of Portugal and is Galacia's largest and most industrialized city, dating back to Roman times. If you're a beach-lover, then Vigo is for you. You can soak up the rays at one of several sparkling beaches, including Samil, Alcabre and Canido.

Lisbon
Portugal is for explorers. Its valiant sailors first charted the Azores, discovered Japan and unlocked major sea routes the world over. As your ship sails into the harbour of Lisbon, share the anticipation these sailors experienced as they ventured into new and exciting lands for the first time.

Las Palmas
Gran Canaria is one of the seven Canary Islands, located off the northwest corner of Africa. As the most populated island of the archipelago, you'll find the local culture is a unique blend of Spanish, African, Latin American and Northern European communities. But the diversity doesn't end there. Gran Canaria also has three distinct climates and landscapes, including snow-capped mountains, gorgeous beaches and tropical forests with lush vegetation.

Tenerife
The largest of the Canary Archipelago, the island of Tenerife consists of many different regions - each with its own characteristics. There are mountains, lush valleys, a gigantic crater (which is now a national park) and, of course, fabulous beaches. If the beautiful landscapes don't bring a smile to your face, the weather certainly will.

La Palma
Made up of volcanic rock and lush green vegetation, it's no wonder the island of La Palma is also known as 'The Pretty Isle'. It's one of seven islands in the Canary Islands archipelago off the coast of Africa and is dominated by natural beauty, from bright blue skies to black-sand beaches.

Funchal
The island of Madeira is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 370 miles off the coast of Morocco. For over 100 years tourists have enjoyed its rugged volcanic peaks, beautiful tropical coastline and a climate that's never too hot or cold. Madeira lace and Madeira wine are both still produced here in the Old World tradition. Many hidden valleys, peaks and botanical gardens are just waiting to be explored.

La Caruna
If there ever was a seafaring city, La Coruña is it. It's been a port and gateway to world travellers for over 2,000 years. From almost any spot, you can witness spectacular panoramic views of the ocean.
