Highlights

What makes this one worth it

  1. Two days at sea after sailing from Liverpool

  2. Day in Matosinhos near Porto's historic centre

  3. Funchal's gardens and coastal promenade

  4. Visits to three Canary Island ports

  5. Stop in Vigo on Spain’s north-west coast

About the trip

Starting from Liverpool, the cruise takes two days at sea before docking in Matosinhos, Portugal, known for its seafood markets and close to Porto’s historic centre. After another day at sea, the ship reaches Funchal, Madeira’s capital, where gardens and levada paths offer a leafy contrast to the coastal promenade.

Next come three Canarian ports: Santa Cruz de La Palma, with its old town and local charm; Santa Cruz de Tenerife, lively yet approachable, home to festival traditions; and Las Palmas, where colonial architecture meets broad city beaches. The return leg includes a stop in Vigo, Spain, on Galicia’s rugged north-west coast, before two more days at sea back to Liverpool.

The journey suits those wanting a flexible pace, with several full days to stretch legs ashore or settle into shipboard routine. Bolette, the Fred. Olsen ship, carries enough passengers to feel companionable without the rush, a useful balance when crossing the Atlantic’s cooler months.
