About the trip
This 14-night cruise on Fred. Olsen’s Borealis sets off from Southampton and settles into two full days at sea before reaching Vigo. The Spanish port offers a break from the ocean, with a modest but lively fishing harbour and a neighbourhood known for its local seafood.
Next come the Canary Islands, with three stops spread across Gran Canaria, Tenerife and La Gomera. In Las Palmas you’ll find the old quarter of Vegueta, where colonial buildings stand beside narrow streets, while Tenerife’s Santa Cruz mixes 20th-century architecture with sprawling beaches. La Gomera is smaller and more rugged, with steep volcanic valleys and the odd whistled language still heard in parts.
After a call at Funchal on Madeira—whose botanical gardens and levada walks are well known—Borealis spends a day at sea before rounding the trip with a stop in Lisbon. The Portuguese capital, once the centre of a vast empire, is a city of tiles and trams, well suited to gentle exploration. The itinerary circles back to Southampton, closing a cruise that balances sea days with enough time on land.
