Portimão is an idyllic destination on the sun-kissed Algarve coastline and a stunning holiday hotspot to visit when cruising southern Portugal. Boasting a bustling waterfront with a picturesque promenade and a charming city centre with vibrant parks and interesting attractions, there’s so much to enjoy when you arrive. The golden-sand beaches here, though, might just be some of the best in the country; bordering sparkling blue waters and surrounded by dramatic rock formations, they’re the perfect place to kick back and soak up the glorious sunshine when you disembark. Overlooking the Arade River, the Museu de Portimão is also worth visiting when exploring the city – it explores this city’s unique industrial history alongside artifacts from several land and underwater archeological sites. A stunningly beautiful part of the world, a port stop at Portimão promises to be one to remember.

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.

From Gaudí’s masterpieces to lively tapas bars, Barcelona’s unique blend of art, culture, and history will captivate you.

Toulon started as a small fishing town in antiquity to become France’s first naval port, and the largest city in the scenic Var region. It's famous for its natural beauty. Here you can enjoy the local ‘chichis’ (similar to Spanish churros) on the beach during a pleasant stroll to the sound of the waves and chirping crickets, and explore the old town’s medieval buildings and 900-year-old cathedral. For the best views, take the cable car up Mont Furon.

Made famous by its sloping bell tower, Pisa was once a simple but noteworthy port town. Over the years Pisa had some involvement in Italy’s military conflicts, and has seen success in matters of trade. Today most visitors come to see the fascinating Leaning Tower; a construction dating back to the 12th century that has been repeatedly repaired and stabilised over the years. As well as this is the neighbouring cathedral and baptistery, and the pretty Square of Miracles which houses them all. Pisa has a brilliant culinary scene, with many inexpensive restaurants serving amazing antipasti, pizzas, pastas, and other hearty Italian dishes.

Today's Civitavecchia was born as an Etruscan village along the Tyrrhenian coast, but it is believed that the territory has been inhabited since the Neolithic era. The first documents mentioning the city date back to the year 107 AD; the same as the construction of the port which ended three years later. During a stop in Civitavecchia you can visit the Taurine Baths, the Michelangelo Fort, and the Cathedral.

A breathtaking mix of colourful cliffside villages, sun-drenched terraces, and turquoise waters.
