Visit to Oporto via Leixoes port
Stops in multiple Canary IslandsIncluding Gran Canaria and Lanzarote
Call at El Ferrol for Santiago de Compostela
This two-week cruise on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition begins at London Tilbury and heads first to Leixoes, the port for Oporto. Here, the city’s port warehouses and waterside bodegas hint at its reputation beyond the vineyards. The ship then crosses to Madeira’s Funchal, where botanical gardens and the island’s steep terraced slopes invite gentle exploration.
Next comes the Canary Islands, starting with Santa Cruz de La Palma, an island that feels quieter than its neighbours. Las Palmas, Gran Canaria’s capital, follows with its colonial quarter and seaside promenade. Further on, the ship visits Arrecife on Lanzarote, where volcanic landscapes meet whitewashed towns.
Journeys

Before heading back to England, the cruise calls at El Ferrol, gateway to Santiago de Compostela. The city’s medieval streets and cathedral are often a highlight for those who appreciate history away from the usual crowds. The ship returns to London Tilbury, closing a voyage that blends Atlantic islands with Galicia’s Atlantic coast.
