ATLANTIC ISLANDS TO EUROPE WINE TRAILS

Settle into your Miami hotel and head to Little Havana, where the walk-up windows on Calle Ocho pour cafecito into thimble-sized cups. Wynwood’s street murals make an easy evening wander.

Spend the morning on Ocean Drive in South Beach, where pastel Art Deco hotels line the strip, then board Insignia for the Atlantic crossing.

Insignia ties up at the Royal Naval Dockyard, a former Royal Navy fortress now home to the National Museum of Bermuda. Ferries run to Hamilton, and the pink sand of Horseshoe Bay is a short trip away.

Santa Cruz de la Palma’s Avenida Marítima is lined with colourful wooden balconies. Calle O’Daly, the pedestrian street named after an Irish merchant, sits just behind it

Growers in La Geria plant vines in hollows ringed by low stone walls to shelter them from the wind. Timanfaya National Park and César Manrique’s Jameos del Agua lava tube round out the island.

Santiago Calatrava’s Auditorio de Tenerife sweeps along the Santa Cruz waterfront under a white roof. Head inland to Mount Teide at 3,715 metres, Spain’s highest peak, or stay in town for the Palmetum’s 400-plus palm species.

Madeira wine is the reason to linger, with lodges in town pouring everything from dry Sercial to sweet Malmsey. Ride the cable car up to Monte for the gardens, then see the cliffs of Cabo Girão or the fishing village where Winston Churchill painted.

Start in Belém with a custard tart from Pastéis de Belém, then walk to the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Later, ride a tram through Alfama’s narrow streets or take a day trip to Sintra’s hilltop palaces.

Cross the Dom Luís I Bridge to Vila Nova de Gaia and taste tawny and ruby port in the riverside cellars. São Bento station is lined with blue azulejo tile panels.

The Tower of Hercules, a working lighthouse and UNESCO World Heritage site, watches over the harbour entrance. Order pulpo a la gallega (octopus with paprika and olive oil) with a glass of Albariño, or take a coach to Santiago de Compostela, where the pilgrim route ends at the cathedral.

Frank Gehry’s titanium-clad Guggenheim sits on the Nervión river, with Jeff Koons’s flower-covered Puppy out front. In the Casco Viejo, work through pintxos bar by bar with a glass of txakoli.

Napoleon III built a summer palace here for Empress Eugénie, and it is now the Hôtel du Palais. Surfers still ride the Grande Plage, and the town’s chocolate museum is worth a detour.

Place de la Bourse reflects in the Miroir d’eau on the quays, and La Cité du Vin tells the story of wine from a modern riverside tower. Pick up cannelés from a local bakery for the walk back

The vineyards take over today. The Médoc’s Left Bank estates around Margaux and Pauillac favour cabernet sauvignon, while Saint-Émilion’s medieval village on the Right Bank is merlot country.

Walk the ramparts of the walled old town, then try a buttery kouign-amann and a Breton galette with cider. Mont-Saint-Michel’s abbey rises from the tidal flats on a longer excursion.

Castle Cornet guards the harbour, and Hauteville House is where Victor Hugo lived in exile. Guernsey cattle graze the pastures behind the south-coast cliff paths.

Disembark Insignia and take your private transfer to your London hotel.

A full day in the city. Borough Market is a short walk from London Bridge for lunch, and the Thames path to Tate Modern is easy on foot.

Your holiday ends today. Ask your Cruiseabout Travel Advisor about adding extra nights.
