Ocean Discovery – Vigo, Funchal & Tenerife

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 12 nights from Southampton on April 10, 2028, visiting Vigo, Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Arrecife and Lisbon. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Sun all year round, volcanic landscapes, and more variety between islands than you'd expect. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Sky Princess takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Southampton has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
