Highlights of this cruise:

Southampton
The United Kingdom's premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear. The port serves as your gateway to Southern England's magnificent historic sites, national landmarks, charming villages as well as the great metropolis of London. It is an ideal starting or ending point for a memorable voyage.

Funchal
Funchal is home to a third of the island's population. The city is noted for its superb hand-embroidery and wicker ware, both Madeiran specialities. The island, of course, is also noted for its superb wines: they are perhaps the world's most complex and long lasting wines. Lush botanical gardens and superbly landscaped terraces adorn the hills above the capital. Settle down in a local cafe and soak up the scenery with a perfectly chilled glass of local wine.

La Palma
Nicknamed 'Isla Bonita' or 'The Beautiful Island', La Palma is one of the smaller Canary Islands. It's capital, Santa Cruz de la Palma is a picturesque harbour located on the Eastern part of the island. The island's landscape is a product of the volcanic formation, with numerous beaches of black sand, mountainous terrain and rich plant life. The famous fashion designer Manolo Blahnik was born and raised here.

Lanzarote
It's easy to understand why Lanzarote is so popular. It has so much to offer. Being a volcanic island, the scenery is lush and fertile making Fire Mountain and the curious vineyards at Le Geria 'must do' visits. Timanfaya National Park is a vivid volcanic showcase. Here water poured into boreholes hisses back out as steam and you can feast on specialities cooked by the earth's heat.
