PROGRAM TOPICS

Resilience and Emotional Intelligence: What do They Have to do With Nursing?

PURPOSE STATEMENT All too often, nurses experience feelings of frustration, anger, despair, and moral distress related to the biased unfairness or injustices inherent in our modern-day healthcare system. It’s an emotion that we often experience when we are unable to set boundaries or ask for what we need, or when expectations let us down because they were based on things we can’t control, like what our patients are willing to do, what procedures the insurance company is willing to cover, what our patient assignments look like, or what our expectations are of ourselves. Nurses also experience various levels of fatigue that can last a short period of time or feel never ending. Join us in a discussion on resilience, emotional intelligence, fatigue and somatics and how these concepts help us to realize that the key to experiencing less anger and moral distress in our career is accepting how much control we don’t have in a typical day. Participants will understand basic concepts of which concerted actions and personal techniques can enhance each individual’s personal journey to transform resentments and negative thoughts that lead to burnout to one of acceptance that transient negative emotions do not make us failures or bad people, but simply give us the opportunity to experience the full spectrum of human emotions and the power to understand that the ability to heal what is necessary to heal, comes from within. LEARNING OUTCOME Participants will be able to self-identify techniques and actions that can minimize moral distress experienced as a healthcare practitioner. OBJECTIVES

Identify the components of moral distress
Identify the components of fatigue
Identify the components of resilience
Identify the components of emotional intelligence
Discuss the sphere of concern vs. sphere of influence
Describe the mind-body connection as it relates to somatics
Discuss concerted actions that can address feelings of loss of control in the healthcare setting
Discuss personal techniques that can address feelings of loss of control in the healthcare setting

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'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.

A classic yellow tram descending a steep, narrow street in Lisbon's historic district, with the sparkling Tagus River in the background. An iconic shore excursion experience for cruisers exploring the city’s hilly charm.

A scenic Lisbon street at dusk, featuring glowing shopfronts, vintage tram tracks, and a canopy of purple jacaranda blossoms. Captures the romantic evening atmosphere just a short walk from the Lisbon cruise terminal.

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.

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

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

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

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 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.
