Cruise · 14 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
Two weeks aboard Ambassador’s Ambience visiting the Canaries, Madeira and northern Portugal, with ports from Funchal to Oporto and Santiago de Compostela on a relaxed Atlantic route.
Highlights
The port of Leixoes for Oporto’s riverside and wine history
Funchal’s cliff-edge setting on Madeira
Santa Cruz de La Palma’s colonial town centre
Volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote
Santiago de Compostela’s cathedral city near Vigo
This 14-night cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line sets off from London Tilbury, heading first to Leixoes, the port for Oporto, where the city’s riverside warehouses hint at a long history of port wine trade. Next is Funchal, Madeira’s largest town, known for its rugged cliffs meeting the sea and gardens that owe something to the island’s mild climate.
Journeys

The ship then calls at four ports across the Canary Islands, including Santa Cruz de La Palma where the legacy of Spanish colonisation is clearer in the colonial town centre than on the black volcanic shores. Gran Canaria and Lanzarote follow, the latter offering lunar landscapes dotted with traditional whitewashed villages.
After a stop in Vigo for Santiago de Compostela, famous for its pilgrimage route and cathedral, Ambience returns to London Tilbury. The pace allows time to watch the Atlantic unfold between distinct coastal cultures and islands, with plenty of opportunity for a quiet moment on deck or in one of the ship’s lounges away from the passage of ports.
