CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

El Ferrol
Guarded by castles at its harbour entrance, Ferrol is one of Spain's oldest and most famous port cities. Stroll through historic plazas, visit naval monuments, and discover the city's maritime charm.

Santander
Though much of ancient Santander, Spain was lost to fire in the 1940s, the city is popular with tourists due to its bustling beaches, historic landmarks like the Cathedral of Santander, and rich local seafood from oceanside restaurants and market stalls.

Le Palais
In Le Palais, on the island of Belle-Ile-en-Mer, immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Brittany coastline. Discover charming coastal walks, visit the historic Vauban Citadel for stunning views, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon exploring the village’s markets and cafes. Le Palais is where serene nature meets authentic French island life, giving you a taste of tranquillity.

Fowey
Clinging to the Cornish coast is picture-perfect Fowey. Lose track of time in riverside bookshops and quaint cafes, or take a ferry ride across the Fowey River to take in views of surrounding villages.
