The UK’s largest cruise port and where many will begin their cruise holiday, Southampton has no shortage of maritime and historical attractions. Discover local landmarks on a walking tour including 30 ancient monuments, learn about the tragic story of the Titanic and escape to the great outdoors at the New Forest National Park. With numerous options for seafood dining and even a free art gallery, Southampton is an undoubtedly great destination for a pre or post-cruise stay.
A sunny port city in northwest Spain with easy access to the stunning Santiago de Compostela, La Coruña is a fantastic destination on any cruise itinerary; home to fantastic food, beaches perfect for sun lounging, and a charming old town overflowing with culture, A Coruña alone is worth spending as much time in as possible. However, this port is also your entry point to Galicia – a breathtakingly beautiful region of Spain – and Santiago de Compostela – a historic pilgrimage site home to awe-inspiring architecture, sensational sightseeing, and even more incredible culture. Whether you decide to travel inland, or make the most of everything A Coruña has to offer, you’re in for a treat when you travel here.
Despite its impressive modernity as a major city, Cádiz is one of the oldest continually-inhabited cities in Western Europe and an urban centre dominated by well-preserved historical landmarks – most of which can be found in Casco Antiguo, the Old Town within the remnants of Cádiz’s city walls. That doesn’t mean you won’t find any modern comforts here, though; while you’re sightseeing, you can expect to enjoy flavourful food from fantastic restaurants, comfortable cafes, and more. Sitting on Spain’s southern coast, the Port of Cádiz is also a short trip from Seville – a stunning Spanish city boasting its own unique culture and unique historical landmarks. So, if a tour of Seville is on the agenda, you’ll have no trouble getting there and back when you disembark here.
Alicante offers everything you need for the perfect city break, whatever your interests may be. For the party animals there’s legendary nightlife with countless bars and discos and people to dance with. For the beach-goer, Playa del Postiguet is within close proximity to the city promenade and has perfect facilities for a full day on the beach. For the best views, be sure to head up to Santa Bárbara Castle with your camera and take some snaps that you’ll always remember.
Wander through historic streets, explore stunning architecture, and relax by the beautiful Mediterranean shores in this vibrant Majorcan city.

This was our 1st time cruising. We were a family of 4 with 12 and 8 year olds. My initial impression was how well organised everything is from the moment you arrive. We opted for an inside cabin which was surprisingly fine for us although a little cramped. The crew were outstanding and couldn’t do enough for you. Our itinerary was the Norwegian fjords which were beautiful especially Flåm. The MSC Virtuosa is a huge ship and was full at the time of our cruise. The only time we sometimes struggled to find a seat was just before dinner at around 1930. The market place buffet was sometimes very overcrowded and we decided to use the MDR for breakfast and dinner which again we thought was fantastic and had enough choices for us all. We bought a fun pass for the kids however did not use it all and left around £60 on it. The water slides were great fun and it’s sometimes easy to forget you are on a cruise ship. The ship has plenty to do for kids. The entertainment was fantastic with some great shows in offer. We will definitely be booking another cruise in the future.

However, this port is also your entry point to Galicia – a breathtakingly beautiful region of Spain – and Santiago de Compostela – a historic pilgrimage site home to awe-inspiring architecture, sensational sightseeing, and even more incredible culture. Whether you decide to travel inland, or make the most of everything A Coruña has to offer, you’re in for a treat when you travel here.
A truly staggering medieval cathedral constructed throughout the 12th century, Catedral de Santiago de Compostela is a historic place of pilgrimage on the Way of St. James – marking the traditional end point of this route – and is regarded as the burial place of Saint James the Great, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ. A blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles, this cathedral has become a symbol of the city; within, you’ll find countless statues, an impressive organ, and an exquisite barrel-vaulted nave. The largest Romanesque church in Spain and one of the largest in Europe, this is one place you won’t want to miss the chance to visit.
Tower of Hercules
Standing 180 ft tall, the Tower of Hercules is the oldest-known extant Roman lighthouse in the world; constructed in the 1st century, this structure’s design was inspired by the original plans for the Lighthouse of Alexandria (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), and the site itself is featured in several mythical stories. For example, it’s said that Hercules buried the head of Geyron with his weapons here after three days and three nights of battle. Renovated in 1791 and now surrounded by a sculpture garden, this is also the second-tallest lighthouse in Spain – if you needed even more reasons to visit.
Plaza de Maria Pita
If you’re looking to sample the local cuisine, this might be the best place to do it in A Coruña. A central square dedicated to Maria Pita, a Spanish heroine who proved pivotal in the defence of A Coruña against English Armada attacks in 1598, this area is home to the impressive City Hall alongside several restaurants and cafes. Over 10,000 square-metres in size and home to a bronze statue of Maria Pita, you’ll find this a fantastic place to eat some flavourful food and soak up this city’s atmosphere.

Playa de la Victoria is a breathtaking stretch of sandy beach perfect for sun lounging and enjoying the glorious weather in southern Spain; with restaurants, bars, shops, and more all within close walking distance, you’ll never have to travel far to find what you need when enjoying a day here.
Castillo de San Sebastián
Located on a small island at the end of La Caleta beach, this remarkable historical site was once home to a Temple of Kronos – a Titan among the Greek gods, and father of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. The castle we see today was built circa 1706 in order to provide the northern flank of the city with defence, and the levee linking the island to the city was constructed in 1860. This castle was also the site of Spain’s second electric-powered lighthouse, which was added to the structures on this island in 1908.
Plaza de España
An impressive plaza in Parque de Maria Luisa in Seville, Plaza de España is a remarkable landmark example of Regionalism architecture – blending the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Moorish Revival styles together. Completed in 1928, this stunning area was featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on Naboo in Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones and scenes from Lawrence of Arabia, among other film and TV productions – something that only exemplifies its incredible beauty.
Royal Alcázar of Seville
A historic royal palace in the heart of Seville, which was once an Islamic-era citadel in the 10th century before eventually being expanded upon and rebuilt throughout the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, the Royal Alcázar of Seville is an impressive example of Mudejar-style architecture but draws on Gothic and Renaissance elements, giving it a unique character among other palaces in the region. When the royal family are visiting Seville, they still occupy the upper stories of the alcázar to this day – though, you can also explore this area when they’re not in town. A stunning palace with an impressive collection of elegant interiors, interesting artworks, and gardens, this is a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Seville.
