MSC Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Southampton

   Depart 18:00

   United Kingdom

   

   Southampton, England's storied ocean liner capital on the southern coast, carries an indelible maritime identity — this is the port from which the Titanic departed and from which the Queen Mary 2 still sails in grandeur today. The medieval Bargate and City Walls speak to a history stretching back to Roman times, while the SeaCity Museum tells the story of the great liners with moving intimacy. Day excursions reach Winchester's magnificent cathedral, the stately rooms of Beaulieu, and the primeval wilderness of the New Forest — where ancient ponies still roam freely. Spring and summer offer the most pleasant conditions for exploring the region.

4. Day 4

   Lisbon

   Arrive 07:00Depart 18:00

   Portugal

   

   Lisbon, Portugal's enchanting capital, stands out for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Must-try experiences include savoring local dishes like bacalhau à brás and pastéis de nata at Mercado da Ribeira. The best time to visit is during the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and the city is alive with festivals and events.

5. Day 5

6. Day 6

   Funchal

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Portugal

   

   Funchal — Madeira's radiant capital, its name derived from the wild fennel that greeted Portuguese settlers in 1419 — cascades down volcanic hillsides to a deep-water harbour that has welcomed mariners and wanderers for six centuries. The Reid's Palace, opened in 1891, remains one of the Atlantic's most legendary hotels, its clifftop terraces commanding views that inspired Churchill, Shaw, and a century of distinguished guests. The city's floating flower market, levada walks through ancient laurisilva forest, and the exhilarating toboggan descent from Monte combine for days of effortless discovery. The subtropical climate makes Funchal appealing year-round, with spring particularly spectacular for wildflowers.

7. Day 7

   Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

   Arrive 11:00Depart 20:00

   Spain

   

   Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, a historic port city founded in 1478, offers a rich tapestry of culture, architecture, and culinary delights. Must-do experiences include sampling **papas arrugadas** at the Mercado de Vegueta and exploring the charming streets of Vegueta. The best time to visit is during the mild spring months when the weather is ideal for outdoor exploration.

8. Day 8

   Santa Cruz de Tenerife

   Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

   Spain

   

   Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the cosmopolitan capital of the Canary Islands, balances volcanic grandeur with refined urban pleasures — from the Santiago Calatrava–designed Auditorio rising beside the Atlantic to the ancient dragon tree at Icod de los Vinos and the World Heritage Teide volcano looming above the island. The city's Carnival, second in scale only to Rio de Janeiro's, erupts each February in spectacular costumes and street revelry. Local wines from the volcanic slopes, wrinkled potatoes with mojo verde, and fresh Atlantic fish define the island's culinary character. November through April offers reliably warm, sun-drenched conditions.

9. Day 9

   Arrecife

   Arrive 07:00Depart 14:00

   Spain

   

   Arrecife, the unpretentious capital of Lanzarote in Spain's Canary Islands, serves as the gateway to one of the volcanic world's most surreal and spellbinding landscapes — shaped by César Manrique, the visionary artist who ensured there are no high-rises, no billboards, and no compromise between tourism and the island's extraordinary terrain. The Timanfaya National Park's lava fields, the underground lake of the Jameos del Agua, and Manrique's own clifftop home-turned-museum are among the most singular attractions in all of Spain. The Canary Islands enjoy a year-round temperate climate, making any month suitable for a visit. Gran Canaria lies forty minutes by ferry.

10. Day 10

    At Sea

    

11. Day 11

    Vigo

    Arrive 12:00Depart 18:00

    Spain

    

    Vigo is Galicia's vibrant Atlantic port city, set along a dramatic ría with Celtic ruins, a storied naval past, and what may be Spain's finest seafood culture — from freshly shucked Arcade oysters at the Mercado da Pedra to smoky pulpo á feira in the old quarter. Visit between May and October, when long golden evenings illuminate the bay and the Cíes Islands beckon for a day trip to some of Europe's most pristine beaches.

12. Day 12
