Highlights

What makes this one worth it

  1. Lisbon’s historic city centre and waterfront

About the trip

This 23-night cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sets off from Liverpool, heading south through Lisbon’s cobbled streets and into Spanish ports like Almeria and Alicante. It then crosses to Sicily, docking at Palermo and Messina, before following the Amalfi Coast with a stop at Sorrento, where you might notice lemon groves clinging to the hillsides.

Next comes Italy’s cultural heart: Civitavecchia serves as the gateway for Rome, and Livorno puts Florence and Pisa within reach. The route swings back west to Valencia, Gibraltar and Cadiz, then north to Vigo close to Santiago de Compostela’s famous cathedral. There’s a brief return to the UK with Belfast before a final leg back to Liverpool.

The ship, Ambition, carries you steadily through varied seascapes, from the Mediterranean’s sunlit harbours to the sometimes blustery Atlantic approaches. A trip of contrasts, it ticks off well-known ports alongside quieter stops, making it a measured way to trace Europe’s western and southern coasts over three weeks.
