Honfleur’s old harbour and slate houses
This voyage with Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience sets off from London Tilbury and heads west to Vigo, a gateway to Galicia’s seafood and the pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela. The route takes in southern Spain’s Cádiz, known for its centuries-old port and proximity to Jerez, before continuing east to Almería, with its dry landscapes and Moorish fortress watching over the Mediterranean.
Journeys
Gibraltar follows, where the Rock dominates the skyline and Barbary macaques lurk near the upper slopes. Then it’s on to Portugal’s Algarve coast, docking at Portimão, a former fishing town with a river port and access to rugged cliffs. Lisbon appears next, offering tiled tram rides and winding Alfama streets. The route north crosses to France’s Normandy coast, stopping in Honfleur with its old harbour and slate-covered houses.
The Ambience returns to London Tilbury after nearly two weeks at sea, having threaded a path around the western edges of Europe between Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. It is a cruise that mixes a varied itinerary with an unusual musical theme that won’t be the usual sea shanties.
