Coastal Splendor – Lisbon & Canaries
About this cruise
You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 11 nights from Southampton on September 25, 2027, visiting Leixões (Porto), Lisbon, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Funchal and Vigo. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria stands out. It's Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 14 restaurants on Celebrity Apex, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 11 nights. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
