If you wish to travel by car and park for the duration of your cruise, you can pay for and reserve parking in advance directly with the relevant company. Alternatively, if being dropped off or collected by taxi or private car, they can drive right up alongside the terminal building. ### Day 2: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 3: La Coruna, Spain **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM At the north western tip of Spain, La Coruna is Galicia's largest city - from where in 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed to its fate. It's the port of call for nearby Santiago de Compostela, in whose ornate 11th century cathedral rests the body of St James. With Jerusalem and Rome, it remains one of Christendom's most holy places - to which in the middle ages up to two million pilgrims came each year. ### Day 4: Vigo, Spain **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It is hard to believe that in 1702, amid the calm setting of Vigo's fjord-like harbour, an English and Dutch force once fought and defeated the French and Spanish fleets anchored here. A major port city of Galicia, renowned for its seafood, Vigo has an appealing old town with a labyrinth of steep and winding narrow streets and shaded squares. Nearby is Santiago de Compostela, Christendom's third most holy pilgrimage shrine, in whose vast Gothic cathedral lays the body of St James. ### Day 5: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 6: Cadiz, Spain **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM One of Western Europe's most ancient cities, founded 3,000 years ago by Phoenician merchants, Cadiz hugs Andalucia's sunlit Atlantic coast. It's a historic and intriguing seaport-from which Spain's galleons once sailed in quest of New World treasure - characterised by palm trees, look out towers and weathered old buildings. From here you can visit Jerez de la Frontera, centre of Spain's sherry production, and put to the test the creations of its many bodegas! ### Day 7: Belem **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Established by Portuguese explorers in 1616, Belém was the Amazon's first European settlement. The city became part of Brazil in 1775 and the centre of the region's slave trade, as well as an important hub for sugar, rice, cotton and coffee exports in the 17th century. Today Belém is typically Brazilian: modern and vibrant, yet retaining its historic charm. Bustling commercial districts packed with tall skyscrapers blend with sprawling markets, handsome squares, and centuries-old buildings... ### Day 7: Lisbon, Portugal **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It was from historic Lisbon, built on seven low hills beside the wide Tagus estuary, that some of Europe's greatest explorers set sail in pursuit of the riches that built Portugal's former global empire in the New World, Africa and the Indies. Memories of that glorious past linger amid the grand avenues and elegant squares of the attractive capital's 18th century lower town - a vivid contrast with the colourful honeycomb of cobbled streets in the old Moorish Alfama quarter and the bohemian mood ... ### Day 8: Lisbon, Portugal **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It was from historic Lisbon, built on seven low hills beside the wide Tagus estuary, that some of Europe's greatest explorers set sail in pursuit of the riches that built Portugal's former global empire in the New World, Africa and the Indies.
