12 Night Europe Cruise

London (Southampton) cruise port is the busiest cruise departure point in the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Northern Europe. The port sits in Southampton, a city on England's southern coast about 80 miles southwest of London.

Lisbon cruise port is one of the most atmospheric arrivals in Europe. Ships sail up the Tagus River past the 25 de Abril Bridge (a near-twin of San Francisco's Golden Gate) and the Christ the King statue, with the city rising up on seven hills to the north.

Funchal is the capital of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean about 600 miles southwest of Lisbon and 400 miles north of the Canary Islands. The island is volcanic, mountainous, and green, with a subtropical climate that keeps temperatures mild year-round.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital of Tenerife, the largest of Spain's Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean about 300 km off the coast of Morocco. The cruise port sits in the heart of the city, directly adjacent to the commercial center and within walking distance of the main shopping street and waterfront.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the largest city in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa. The city has about 380,000 residents and serves as a major embarkation port for Canary Islands cruises and a regular port of call on Atlantic, repositioning, and West Africa itineraries.

Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands in the eastern Atlantic Ocean about 125 km off the coast of West Africa. The island has about 155,000 residents and a landscape unlike anywhere else in Europe: volcanic craters, lava fields, black sand beaches, and an almost lunar terrain shaped by eruptions in the 1730s that buried a third of the island.
