YOUR ITINERARY
Southampton (London) - Vigo - Madeira (Funchal) - Santa Cruz de Tenerife - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

The south of England boasts a dramatic coastline that encloses some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain. The landscape of hills and heaths, downs and forests, valleys and dales, is without rival. Southampton serves as your gateway to the countryside – and to a wide variety of historic sites, national landmarks and charming. And of course, London is a two-hour drive by modern highway.
The United Kingdom’s premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home for many years to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear.

Vigo clings to the slope of Monte del Castro, overlooking a namesake bay so vast, it could shelter an entire fleet. The city’s medieval heritage is seen in the narrow streets and granite houses of the Ribera del Berbes, the old fishermen’s quarter. Vigo is also the gateway to Santiago de Compostela, the most venerated shrine in all Europe during the Middle Ages. Pilgrims from the four corners of Christendom flocked to the magnificent cathedral, built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The cathedral still draws thousands of daily visitors today.
An important fishing and commercial port, Vigo was first settled by Celts 300 BC. The Celtic legacy lingers on in the province’s old legends – and in the bagpipes played on festive occasions.

The capital of Madeira is named after the fennel (funcha) that once flowered there in profusion. The largest island in the Madeira Archipelago was discovered in 1419 by Portuguese explorers venturing south into the Atlantic. The island is nearly equidistant from Lisbon and the African coast, and its unique geographical position allowed Madeira to play a pivotal role in European discovery. Seamen such as Christopher Columbus gained knowledge and experience plying the routes of the island’s sugar trade. When sugar declined, the island’s famed wines continued to provide a robust trade. By the late 18th century, Madeira’s mild climate, rocky peaks, and lush valleys provided a winter haven to Europe’s aristocrats. Visitors still flock to the island today, drawn by its scenery and its weather.
Funchal is noted for its superb hand-embroidery and wicker ware, both Madeira specialties. The island, of course, is also noted for its superb wines: they are perhaps the world’s most complex and long lasting wines.
Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Archipelago....
Tenerife is the largest island in the Canary Archipelago. Like its brethren, Tenerife was formed by fierce volcanic activity. Its landscape remains dotted with volcanic cones and areas of intense geothermal activity. Towering over the island is Mt Teide, an extinct volcano that, at 12,200 feet above sea level, is the highest peak in Spanish territory. Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the island’s capital and your port of call.
Tenerife’s north shore is separated from the south by rugged mountains, creating a rain shadow. The majority of the islands most recent resorts are found in the sere and parched south shore.

According to the popular 1960 beach movie, Fort Lauderdale is “where the boys are.” The city’s reputation as America’s Spring Break capital, however, has been replaced with the more favorable image of a prime family tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. The most popular beach resort in Florida is even more rightly famed as the “Yachting Capital of the World,” with more than 40,000 registered crafts calling its waters home. The city also prides itself on being the “Venice of America” with more than 300 miles of navigable waterways. Fort Lauderdale boasts world-class theaters, museums, sightseeing, and shopping.
YOUR SHIP - The Sun Princess
The brand new Sun Princess – Princess Cruises’ largest ship ever (until sister ship Star Princess debuts in 2025) – is set to make its inaugural sailing in October 2024, offering unforgettable itineraries to beloved Caribbean destinations. Accommodating 4,300 passengers – a remarkable increase of 800 passengers compared to the line’s previous Royal Class ships – the debut of this vessel also introduces the new Sphere Class, named after the captivating glass sphere at the heart of the ship which floods the central decks with natural light and treats guests to breathtaking views of the sea.
Sun Princess will mark the 16th addition to Princess Cruises’ esteemed fleet and will pay homage to its illustrious past. This will be the third vessel to bear the name Sun Princess, following the iconic “Love Boat” featured in the revered 1970s TV series, and the second ship launched in 1995, which was once among the world’s largest cruise ships, accommodating 2,000 passengers.
Meticulously designed from scratch, Sun Princess is a unique creation tailored exclusively for Princess Cruises, originating from a few initial sketches on the back of a napkin in 2017. The Sphere Class will consist of four ships in total, with the confirmation of Star Princess as the second vessel, expected to set sail in 2025.
