ITINERARY

This nine-night voyage aboard Celebrity Apex concentrates on the Atlantic heritage of Spain, Portugal, and France, offering a sophisticated alternative to the typical Mediterranean loop. The itinerary is particularly strong for those interested in history and architecture. Calls in Vigo and La Coruña provide access to the pilgrimage site of Santiago de Compostela, while Bilbao offers a stark contrast with the modern masterpiece of the Guggenheim Museum.

Portugal is represented by its two most vital cities: the hilly, historic capital of Lisbon and the charismatic, riverside city of Porto (via Leixões). The final call in Le Havre forces a choice between the long journey to Paris or the closer, poignant history of the Normandy beaches. Sailing in July ensures long daylight hours for exploration, though popular sites will be active. We recommend framing this cruise with a stay in London to maximize the value of the Southampton embarkation.

Cruise Itinerary Map

PORTS OF CALL

Southampton (London), England

While your cruise itinerary reads “Southampton (London),” it is vital to understand the geography: Southampton is a functional, industrial port city on the south coast, while London—one of the world’s great metropolises—lies approximately 80 miles to the northeast. Treating this port merely as a logistical checkpoint for embarkation or disembarkation is a missed opportunity of the highest order. We strongly advise framing your voyage with a dedicated two or three-day stay in London. The city offers a density of history, culture, and culinary excellence that simply cannot be absorbed in a rushed transfer.

**The London Prelude: A Curated Approach**

Think of your time in London not as a layover, but as a distinct, curated chapter of your vacation. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a theater lover, or a gourmand, London rewards those who plan ahead. Below is a suggested itinerary designed to maximize a short stay without exhaustion.

**Day 1: The Royal Route and The River**

Start your exploration in Westminster. Emerging from the Underground at Westminster Station places you directly beneath the clock tower housing Big Ben and the grandeur of the Houses of Parliament. From here, Westminster Abbey is a short walk across the square. This is not merely a church; it is the coronation site of monarchs since 1066 and the burial place of kings, queens, poets, and scientists. It is a profound concentration of British history.

Cross Westminster Bridge to the South Bank for a different perspective. This pedestrian-friendly stretch offers iconic views of the skyline. Walk east past the London Eye and the brutalist architecture of the National Theatre. For lunch, Borough Market near London Bridge is essential. As one of London's oldest food markets, it offers high-quality artisanal cheeses, British charcuterie, and exceptional street food. It is chaotic, aromatic, and utterly delightful.

In the afternoon, visit the Tower of London. Despite its popularity, it remains the city’s most compelling historic site. It has served as a palace, a fortress, and a prison. Seeing the Crown Jewels is standard, but the true value lies in the tours given by the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), whose storytelling brings the grim history of the Tower to life.

**Day 2: Museums and The West End**

London’s museums are world-class and, remarkably, mostly free of charge. The British Museum is vast; rather than trying to see it all, focus on the Enlightenment Gallery and the Egyptian Sculpture room. Alternatively, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in South Kensington offers an unparalleled collection of art and design in a stunning architectural setting, often with slightly more breathing room than the British Museum.

For the evening, the West End is non-negotiable. Whether you prefer a long-running musical in a historic theater or a cutting-edge play at the Donmar Warehouse or the National Theatre, the quality of production here rivals or exceeds Broadway. We recommend a pre-theater dinner in Covent Garden or Soho, where the dining scene has evolved far beyond pub fare to include Michelin-starred establishments and vibrant international cuisine.

**Day 3: Villages and Vistas**

London is a collection of villages that grew together. Spend your final day exploring a specific neighborhood to feel the local pulse. Marylebone offers a sophisticated high street with independent boutiques and the exquisite Wallace Collection. Shoreditch provides a gritty, artistic contrast with street art and third-wave coffee shops. If you enjoy shopping, bypass the overwhelming crowds of Oxford Street in favor of Liberty London on Great Marlborough Street. Its mock-Tudor façade houses a beautifully curated department store that feels intimate and exclusive.

**Southampton: More Than Just a Port**

If logistics require you to stay in Southampton itself, the city has its own merits, though they are more modest than London's. The SeaCity Museum is excellent, focusing largely on Southampton’s crew aboard the Titanic (the ship sailed from here). The Tudor House and Garden offers a glimpse into over 800 years of history, and a walk along the medieval town walls provides a pleasant way to stretch your legs before boarding.

**Logistics and Practicalities**

**Getting Around London:** The Underground (Tube) is the most efficient way to navigate. You do not need to purchase tickets or an Oyster card; simply tap your contactless credit card or phone at the barrier. The system automatically caps your daily fare.

**Airport Connections:**
* **From Heathrow:** The Elizabeth Line is a game-changer, offering modern, air-conditioned trains into central London (Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road) in under 30 minutes. The Heathrow Express is faster to Paddington but more expensive.
* **From Gatwick:** The Gatwick Express or Southern trains connect you to Victoria Station or London Bridge in about 30-40 minutes.

**London to Southampton:**
* **Train:** Direct trains run frequently from London Waterloo to Southampton Central. The journey takes approximately 80–90 minutes. From Southampton Central, it is a short 5-10 minute taxi ride to the cruise terminals.
* **Private Transfer:** For a stress-free experience, especially with cruise luggage, a private car service is the superior choice. It eliminates the hassle of hauling bags through train stations and guarantees door-to-terminal service. This is an investment in peace of mind that we highly recommend for embarkation day.

At Sea - Cruising

Vigo, Spain

Vigo presents travelers with a distinct and compelling choice. It is the primary gateway to Santiago de Compostela, one of the world's most significant pilgrimage destinations. For those undertaking the 75- to 90-minute journey inland, the reward is the magnificent UNESCO-listed cathedral, the final stop on the Camino de Santiago. The city's historic center is imbued with a palpable sense of spiritual history, and witnessing the emotion of pilgrims completing their journey is a profound experience.

However, to dismiss Vigo itself would be a mistake. Staying in port reveals an authentic, energetic Galician city with a strong maritime identity and a superb culinary scene. The cruise terminal's convenient location allows for an easy walk into the Casco Vello (Old Town), a revitalized district of stone-paved streets and lively plazas. The city's gastronomic heart is the Rúa da Pescadería, or “Oyster Street,” where you can watch vendors shuck incredibly fresh oysters, served simply with a wedge of lemon. Pairing them with a glass of crisp, local Albariño wine is an essential Galician moment. For panoramic views of the city, the sprawling estuary, and the distant Cíes Islands, a walk up to the hilltop park, Monte O Castro, is highly recommended. Vigo offers a genuine taste of modern Spanish life in a region celebrated for its seafood and scenery.

Lisbon, Portugal

Panoramic sunset view over Lisbon&#039;s red-tiled rooftops and the Tagus River. Vibrant purple jacaranda trees in full bloom frame the historic cityscape, a seasonal highlight for cruise passengers visiting in late spring.
Lisbon is one of Europe’s most visually stunning capitals, greeting visitors with a dramatic entry along the Tagus River. Passing beneath the massive 25 de Abril Bridge offers a perspective unavailable to land-based travelers, setting the stage for a memorable arrival. Once ashore, the city demands physical engagement; the "City of Seven Hills" is paved with calçada portuguesa—beautiful but slippery limestone cobbles that make sturdy, non-slip footwear a necessity, not a suggestion.

For a single day in port, strategic planning is vital as the city's attractions are spread out. The historic district of Belém is a top priority for many, housing the architectural jewels of the Age of Discovery. The Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower are UNESCO World Heritage sites that require time to appreciate properly. While there, the Antiga Confeitaria de Belém is the pilgrimage site for pastéis de nata (custard tarts), a culinary benchmark against which all others are measured.

Alternatively, the Alfama district offers a journey into the city’s Moorish past. This labyrinth of narrow alleys survived the 1755 earthquake and remains the city's soulful core. It is best explored by getting intentionally lost, eventually finding your way up to the Castelo de São Jorge or one of the famous miradouros (viewpoints) like Portas do Sol, which offer sweeping panoramas of red-tiled roofs meeting the river.

Downtown, the Baixa district showcases 18th-century rationalist planning, while the elegant Chiado neighborhood offers sophisticated shopping and historic cafés. For lunch, avoid the tourist traps on the main pedestrian drag; instead, seek out the Time Out Market for a curated selection of the city's best chefs, or find a modest tasca for grilled sardines and crisp Vinho Verde. Lisbon is dense with history and culture; rather than rushing to check every box, we recommend selecting one distinct area—Belém, Alfama, or Chiado—to experience fully without exhaustion.

Porto Leixoes, Portugal

While your ship docks within the industrial bustle of Leixões, the true destination is Porto, located about 20 minutes away by taxi or metro. Porto is not a city of polished, manicured perfection; it possesses a soulful, gritty beauty and a UNESCO World Heritage designation that feels utterly authentic. The city’s topography is demanding—expect steep hills and cobblestones—so supportive footwear is non-negotiable.

The historic heart is the Ribeira district, a captivating tangle of medieval alleys tumbling down to the Douro River. For the best orientation, walk across the upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge. This Eiffel-inspired masterpiece connects you to Vila Nova de Gaia, the historic headquarters of the Port wine trade. We highly recommend prioritizing a visit to a prestigious lodge such as Graham’s, Taylor’s, or Sandeman. These tours offer essential insight into the region's viticulture and provide a relaxing counterpoint to the busy city streets.

Back in Porto, the São Bento train station is a mandatory quick stop to view the stunning azulejo tile panels depicting Portuguese history. Architecture enthusiasts should prioritize the Palácio da Bolsa (Stock Exchange Palace) to see the intricate Arabian Room. A note of caution regarding the famous Livraria Lello bookstore: while beautiful, the queues can consume hours of your limited port time. Unless it is a bucket-list item, we advise spending that time enjoying a local white port and tonic or exploring the fresh seafood restaurants in Matosinhos near the ship before departure.

La Coruna, Spain

La Coruña serves as a superb introduction to Galicia, Spain’s distinct and verdant northwestern region. The city presents a compelling choice for your day: immerse yourself in its own considerable Atlantic charms or journey inland to the world-renowned pilgrimage city of Santiago de Compostela.

If you remain in La Coruña, the undisputed highlight is the Tower of Hercules. This UNESCO World Heritage site is the world's oldest functioning Roman lighthouse, and climbing its steps rewards you with commanding views of the rugged coastline. From there, a stroll along the expansive Paseo Marítimo seaside promenade leads to the city’s historic heart. The Old Town (Ciudad Vieja) is a delightful maze of stone lanes, quiet squares, and Romanesque churches. It eventually opens onto the grand Plaza de María Pita, the city’s main square, dominated by its stately city hall. Don’t miss the iconic 'galerías'—glass-enclosed balconies that line the harbor front, earning La Coruña the nickname “The Crystal City.” Galician cuisine is a highlight; seek out a local restaurant for exceptional seafood, particularly *pulpo a feira* (market-style octopus), paired with a crisp Albariño wine.

Alternatively, a full-day excursion to Santiago de Compostela is a truly worthwhile endeavor. As the final destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, the city has a palpable spiritual and historical weight. The magnificent Cathedral, which houses the tomb of St. James, is the breathtaking centerpiece of a city built from granite and faith. La Coruña offers a genuine taste of a different Spain—one defined by its Celtic roots, Atlantic soul, and profound history.

Bilbao, Spain

Bilbao is a masterclass in urban reinvention, a city that has transformed its industrial grit into architectural grace. The undeniable centerpiece is the Guggenheim Museum, Frank Gehry’s titanium-clad marvel that appears to shimmer and shift along the Nervión River. The building itself is as much a work of art as the modern and contemporary collections it houses. Even a simple walk around its exterior, encountering iconic sculptures like Jeff Koons' floral 'Puppy' and Louise Bourgeois' towering spider, 'Maman,' is a profound experience.

Beyond the museum, Bilbao reveals its historic soul in the Casco Viejo (Old Quarter). A short walk or tram ride away, this labyrinth of the original 'Siete Calles' (Seven Streets) is a vibrant hub of shops, centuries-old buildings, and the Gothic Santiago Cathedral. This is the heart of Basque culinary culture. The essential experience here is the 'txikiteo,' a convivial crawl from one bar to the next, sampling 'pintxos'—small, artful bites that are a cornerstone of local life. Plaza Nueva is an excellent starting point for this gastronomic adventure.

It is important to note that cruise ships dock in Getxo, a coastal town about 20-30 minutes from Bilbao’s city center. Taxis, cruise line shuttles, and an efficient metro system make the journey straightforward. This separation allows for a pleasant transition from the seaside into the dynamic, culture-rich core of the Basque Country's most compelling city.

Paris (Le Havre), France

The port of Le Havre is your gateway to two distinct, equally compelling French experiences: the whirlwind energy of Paris or the profound history of Normandy. It is essential to understand the choice you are making.

A day trip to Paris is feasible, but it is a significant commitment. The journey is typically 2.5 to 3 hours each way by bus or train, consuming a large portion of your day. This leaves a condensed window to experience one of the world's great capitals. A realistic Paris day involves seeing iconic landmarks from the exterior—the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées—and perhaps a brief stroll through a charming neighborhood like Le Marais or Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A deep dive into the Louvre or a leisurely multi-course meal is generally not practical. It is a day for impressions, not immersion.

Alternatively, the surrounding region of Normandy offers rich, more accessible rewards. The charming port of Honfleur, with its slate-fronted houses and vibrant harbor painted by Monet, is less than 30 minutes away. The historic city of Rouen, where Joan of Arc was tried and martyred, boasts a magnificent Gothic cathedral and a beautifully preserved medieval center. For those interested in 20th-century history, the D-Day landing beaches are a powerful and moving full-day excursion. Visiting Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer provides a somber, unforgettable perspective on the sacrifices made here. Le Havre itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site for its post-war modernist architecture, offers a unique look at urban renewal for those seeking a low-key day.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE
