PORTS OF CALL

Southampton (London), England

While your cruise documents say “Southampton (London),” let’s be clear: Southampton is the convenient gateway, but London is the unmissable main event. Treating this port as merely a place to embark or disembark would be a profound missed opportunity. As your advocates, we strongly encourage you to frame your voyage with a two or three-day stay in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. Samuel Johnson’s famous quip, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," remains as true today as it was in the 18th century. A few days here will show you just how much life this incredible city offers.

**Crafting Your London Prelude (or Finale)**

Think of your time in London not as a layover, but as a distinct, curated chapter of your vacation. The city’s seamless blend of ancient history, contemporary culture, and culinary excellence provides the perfect bookend to a European cruise.

**Day 1: Icons, Royalty, and the West End**

Begin your adventure where London’s story is written in stone: the Tower of London. This nearly 1,000-year-old fortress is a masterclass in history. Arrive early to beat the crowds, witness the breathtaking Crown Jewels, and listen to the captivating, often grim, tales from the Yeoman Warders. From there, a short walk takes you to the iconic Tower Bridge. Afterwards, bypass the traffic and see the city from its historic highway, the River Thames. A Thames Clipper (part of the public transport network) offers a scenic and efficient ride to Westminster, where you’ll be greeted by the grandeur of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. In the evening, immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of the West End. After a pre-theater dinner in vibrant Covent Garden, settle in for a world-class performance, whether it’s a long-running musical or a critically acclaimed new play.

**Day 2: Global Treasures and Culinary Exploration**

Dedicate your morning to one of the world's greatest repositories of human history, the British Museum. It’s vast, so be strategic: focus on unmissable artifacts like the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles, and the Egyptian mummies. For lunch, head to the South Bank and dive into the glorious chaos of Borough Market. One of London's oldest food markets, it’s a sensory overload in the best possible way. Graze on artisanal cheeses, freshly shucked oysters, gourmet sausage rolls, and international street food. Properly fueled, you can spend the afternoon exploring the cultural riches of the South Bank, from the modern masterpieces at the Tate Modern to a glimpse of Elizabethan theatre at Shakespeare's Globe.

**Day 3: Neighborhood Charm and Refined Shopping**

London is a city of villages, each with its own distinct character. You might explore the pastel-hued townhouses and antique stalls of Notting Hill, or the stately elegance of Mayfair and St. James's. Of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace is a must, perhaps timing your visit for the Changing the Guard ceremony or, if traveling between July and September, booking a tour of the magnificent State Rooms. For an unparalleled shopping experience, look beyond the high street. The iconic mock-Tudor facade of Liberty London houses a beautifully curated collection of fashion and design, while the legendary food halls of Fortnum & Mason are a feast for the eyes and palate. For a more contemporary scene, the independent boutiques and flagship stores around Carnaby Street and Seven Dials offer a hipper, more localized feel.

**The Practicalities: Making it Effortless**

Connecting your London stay to your Southampton cruise is far simpler than you might imagine. The city’s transport network is superb.

* **Getting Around London:** The Underground, or "The Tube," is exceptionally efficient. Don’t bother with special passes; simply tap your contactless credit/debit card or mobile payment device on the readers to enter and exit the system. It’s seamless and calculates the best fare for you.
* **Airport to City:** From Heathrow, the Heathrow Express whisks you to Paddington Station in about 15 minutes. The newer Elizabeth Line is also an excellent, comfortable option. From Gatwick, the Gatwick Express arrives at Victoria Station in about 30 minutes.
* **London to Southampton Port:** This is the key connection. Direct and frequent trains run from London Waterloo station to Southampton Central, with a journey time of approximately 80-90 minutes. We recommend choosing a hotel near Waterloo for ultimate convenience. Upon arrival at Southampton Central, a short 5-10 minute taxi ride will take you directly to your cruise terminal.

For those who prefer a more direct, door-to-door experience, we work with an excellent private transfer service and can arrange everything for you. Let us help you design the perfect London stay—it will elevate your cruise from a great vacation to an unforgettable journey.

At Sea - Cruising

Vigo, Spain

Vigo presents travelers with a distinct and compelling choice. It is the primary gateway to Santiago de Compostela, one of the world's most significant pilgrimage destinations. For those undertaking the 75- to 90-minute journey inland, the reward is the magnificent UNESCO-listed cathedral, the final stop on the Camino de Santiago. The city's historic center is imbued with a palpable sense of spiritual history, and witnessing the emotion of pilgrims completing their journey is a profound experience.

However, to dismiss Vigo itself would be a mistake. Staying in port reveals an authentic, energetic Galician city with a strong maritime identity and a superb culinary scene. The cruise terminal's convenient location allows for an easy walk into the Casco Vello (Old Town), a revitalized district of stone-paved streets and lively plazas. The city's gastronomic heart is the Rúa da Pescadería, or “Oyster Street,” where you can watch vendors shuck incredibly fresh oysters, served simply with a wedge of lemon. Pairing them with a glass of crisp, local Albariño wine is an essential Galician moment. For panoramic views of the city, the sprawling estuary, and the distant Cíes Islands, a walk up to the hilltop park, Monte O Castro, is highly recommended. Vigo offers a genuine taste of modern Spanish life in a region celebrated for its seafood and scenery.

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon greets you from the water, a city of seven hills cascading down to the banks of the River Tagus. The approach itself is an event, sailing under the grand 25 de Abril Bridge with the Christ the King statue watching from the opposite shore. This is a city that rewards exploration on foot, but be prepared for its famous inclines; comfortable shoes are not a suggestion, they are essential.

From the port, many of the city’s highlights are within reach. A short taxi or tram ride takes you to the historic district of Belém, the heart of Portugal’s Age of Discovery. Here, the ornate Jerónimos Monastery and the iconic Belém Tower stand as magnificent UNESCO World Heritage monuments to a golden era. A non-negotiable experience is tasting the original custard tarts at Pastéis de Belém, where the secret recipe has been guarded for nearly two centuries.

For a journey into the city’s medieval soul, lose yourself in the Alfama district. This labyrinth of steep, narrow cobblestone streets survived the great earthquake of 1755. As you wander, you’ll catch glimpses of daily life, hear the melancholic sounds of Fado music drifting from small taverns, and can ascend to the Castelo de São Jorge for commanding views over the red-tiled rooftops.

The elegant downtown, Baixa, offers a contrast with its grand squares and grid-pattern streets. Ride the historic Santa Justa Lift for another perspective on the city's layout. For a modern taste of Lisbon’s culinary scene, the Time Out Market provides a vibrant, high-quality introduction to Portuguese food in a casual setting. Lisbon is too rich to conquer in a day, so focus on one or two neighborhoods to truly appreciate its character.

Porto Leixoes, Portugal

Let’s be clear from the start: your ship docks at the commercial port of Leixões, but the treasure you’ve come to see is the city of Porto, a short ride away. And what a treasure it is. Porto is not a city of manicured perfection; it’s a place of soulful, gritty beauty, a UNESCO World Heritage site that feels utterly authentic. The city’s heart is the Ribeira district, a captivating tangle of medieval alleys and colorful, tile-clad houses stacked precariously along the Douro River.

Your day here is best spent on foot, so wear comfortable shoes for the city’s famous hills. A quintessential experience is walking across the upper deck of the magnificent Dom Luís I Bridge, an Eiffel-inspired masterpiece offering breathtaking views of the Ribeira on one side and the rooftops of Vila Nova de Gaia on the other. Gaia is the historic home of the world’s Port wine cellars, or “lodges.” We highly recommend choosing one—such as Taylor’s, Graham’s, or Sandeman—for a tour and tasting. Learning about the history and process of Port production right at the source is a highlight for many.

Back in Porto, don’t miss the São Bento train station, where stunning blue-and-white *azulejo* tile panels depict scenes from Portuguese history. For a different perspective, consider a short cruise on a traditional *rabelo* boat along the Douro. While the famous Livraria Lello bookstore is beautiful, be prepared for long queues that can consume significant time. Porto is a city that rewards wandering, offering incredible food, rich history, and a vibrant character that makes it a true standout on any European itinerary.

La Coruna, Spain

La Coruña serves as a superb introduction to Galicia, Spain’s distinct and verdant northwestern region. The city presents a compelling choice for your day: immerse yourself in its own considerable Atlantic charms or journey inland to the world-renowned pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela.

If you remain in La Coruña, the undisputed highlight is the Tower of Hercules. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the world's oldest functioning Roman lighthouse, and climbing its steps rewards you with commanding views of the rugged coastline. From there, a stroll along the expansive Paseo Marítimo seaside promenade leads to the city’s historic heart. The Old Town (Ciudad Vieja) is a delightful maze of stone lanes, quiet squares, and Romanesque churches. It eventually opens onto the grand Plaza de María Pita, the city’s main square, dominated by its stately city hall. Don’t miss the iconic 'galerías'—glass-enclosed balconies that line the harbor front, earning La Coruña the nickname “The Crystal City.” Galician cuisine is a highlight; seek out a local restaurant for exceptional seafood, particularly *pulpo a feira* (market-style octopus), paired with a crisp Albariño wine.

Alternatively, a full-day excursion to Santiago de Compostela is a truly worthwhile endeavor. As the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, the city has a palpable spiritual and historical weight. The magnificent Cathedral, which houses the tomb of St. James, is the breathtaking centerpiece of a city built from granite and faith. La Coruña offers a genuine taste of a different Spain—one defined by its Celtic roots, Atlantic soul, and profound history.

Bilbao, Spain

Bilbao is a masterclass in urban reinvention, a city that has transformed its industrial grit into architectural grace. The undeniable centerpiece is the Guggenheim Museum, Frank Gehry’s titanium-clad marvel that appears to shimmer and shift along the Nervión River. The building itself is as much a work of art as the modern and contemporary collections it houses. Even a simple walk around its exterior, encountering iconic sculptures like Jeff Koons' floral 'Puppy' and Louise Bourgeois' towering spider, 'Maman,' is a profound experience.

Beyond the museum, Bilbao reveals its historic soul in the Casco Viejo (Old Quarter). A short walk or tram ride away, this labyrinth of the original 'Siete Calles' (Seven Streets) is a vibrant hub of shops, centuries-old buildings, and the Gothic Santiago Cathedral. This is the heart of Basque culinary culture. The essential experience here is the 'txikiteo,' a convivial crawl from one bar to the next, sampling 'pintxos'—small, artful bites that are a cornerstone of local life. Plaza Nueva is an excellent starting point for this gastronomic adventure.

It is important to note that cruise ships dock in Getxo, a coastal town about 20-30 minutes from Bilbao’s city center. Taxis, cruise line shuttles, and an efficient metro system make the journey straightforward. This separation allows for a pleasant transition from the seaside into the dynamic, culture-rich core of the Basque Country's most compelling city.

Paris (Le Havre), France

The port of Le Havre is your gateway to two distinct, equally compelling French experiences: the whirlwind energy of Paris or the profound history of Normandy. It is essential to understand the choice you are making.

A day trip to Paris is feasible, but it is a significant commitment. The journey is typically 2.5 to 3 hours each way by bus or train, consuming a large portion of your day. This leaves a condensed window to experience one of the world's great capitals. A realistic Paris day involves seeing iconic landmarks from the exterior—the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées—and perhaps a brief stroll through a charming neighborhood like Le Marais or Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A deep dive into the Louvre or a leisurely multi-course meal is generally not practical. It is a day for impressions, not immersion.

Alternatively, the surrounding region of Normandy offers rich, more accessible rewards. The charming port of Honfleur, with its slate-fronted houses and vibrant harbor painted by Monet, is less than 30 minutes away. The historic city of Rouen, where Joan of Arc was tried and martyred, boasts a magnificent Gothic cathedral and a beautifully preserved medieval center. For those interested in 20th-century history, the D-Day landing beaches are a powerful and moving full-day excursion. Visiting Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer provides a somber, unforgettable perspective on the sacrifices made here. Le Havre itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site for its post-war modernist architecture, offers a unique look at urban renewal for those seeking a low-key day.

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion

Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
