Today, our ship docks in the vibrant Portuguese capital, Lisbon, a perennial favourite among Limitless travellers. Before docking, there's great sights to enjoy as we cruise along the Tagus River. Ready your camera on arrival for stunning views of Lisbon's landmarks, including the Belem Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries with a statue of Henry the Navigator. Once on dry land at Lisbon's bustling cruise port, you'll find yourself amidst a mosaic of neighbourhoods, each with its own unique character. Wander through the bustling streets of Baixa, alive with the energy of shops and cafes, before meandering into the ancient alleyways of Alfama, where time seems to stand still amidst medieval architecture and Moorish influences.

Today we visit our last destination, Vigo. This bustling fishing hub is situated on the rugged west coast of the Galicia province. Throughout history, this charming town and its resilient residents have faced numerous naval attacks, including a couple led by Sir Francis Drake. Galicia's largest city is a dynamic modern metropolis, harmonising one of the world's busiest fishing ports with an atmospheric old quarter. It boasts numerous beautiful beaches at its doorstep and a vibrant nightlife scene featuring tapas bars, restaurants, and clubs.

The local seafood, considered among the best in Spain, benefits from the area's unique microclimate. Pulpo (octopus) holds the title of the local favourite, often enjoyed with glasses of Galician Albariño. For seafood enthusiasts, a visit to Ruá de Pescaderia (Fish Street) is a must, where Vigo's renowned women oyster sellers showcase their offerings.

As our ship begins its journey back north today, take full advantage of the Ventura's array of amenities at your own pace. How about treating yourself to a rejuvenating massage at the Spa?
