France, Portugal, & Spain Cruise, 2025

Home Pick-Up & Boarding
Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or the complementary Limitless accessible taxi transfer, our team will be there to help you check in your bags and board the ship. Those guests staying in an accessible cabin will also benefit from Priority Embarkation. We know check-in and boarding can be a nervous experience for some travellers, so Limitless assists with every aspect. You can learn about our check in and boarding support in greater detail in our FAQs.

Once aboard the cruise ship, you’ll have a chance to settle into your cabin, explore the ship, and meet your fellow Limitless Travellers. The Limitless Care Team is always available to provide support and ensure your holiday gets off to the best possible start.

Day 2 - At Sea
The Ventura is renowned for its entertainment and, with more than eight entertainment venues to choose from, you’re never lacking in things to do. The incredibly popular interactive gameshow, Wavelength, is always a hit, while the Arena Theatre shows a combination of movies and live productions throughout the day and into the night.

There’s plenty of live music, comedy, cabaret and magic to enjoy, too. The luxurious Tamarind Club always puts on a great show, while the Cuban-themed Havana Club plays those irresistible salsa rhythms and serves up refreshing mojitos. And, if you’re feeling lucky, the on-board casino awaits.

Port Visit
Vigo is home to Europe’s largest fishing fleet and is a thriving modern city with a riveting history. A warm and welcoming place that’s perched on the southernmost point of Galicia’s rugged Atlantic coast, it’s renowned for its world-famous seafood. Pulpo (octopus) is a local favourite, especially when washed down with a glass of Galician Albariño.

As the ship docks right in the heart of the city, visitors are immediately surrounded by the lovely bars and cafes that line the marina. We highly recommend sampling the local cuisine and exploring the flatter city streets around the water. As Vigo is hillier as you move away from the marina, it can be difficult to navigate for Limitless Travellers.

Limitless Private Excursion
Lisbon is one of Europe’s trendiest cities and a popular destination for foodies, sun-seekers, history fans and culture vultures alike. Iconic yellow trams rumble through postcard-perfect streets, locals linger over deliciously long alfresco lunches, and melancholic fado music seeps from darkened bars come evening time.

As part of the Limitless Lisbon experience, you can join an accessible 90-minute walking tour from the port to the country’s largest square, Praça do Comércio. After, you’ll enjoy a private wine-tasting experience and sample the local fish cakes and legendary pastéis de nata - Lisbon’s delightful custard tarts. Limitless Travellers can then explore the local area, grabbing a little more food, shopping, or checking out one of Lisbon’s many historical sites.

Port Visit
Set along the banks of the River Douro, Porto boasts stunning architecture, some of the best wine in Europe and a burgeoning art scene. Portugal’s second city, it is quietly confident in its own identity and does things its own way.

As the ship docks in Leixões, a short drive from Porto itself, Limitless Travellers have the option to travel into Porto via the cruise company’s accessible shuttle or stay in Leixões. Many travellers opt for the latter, as Leixões boasts a beautiful beach, a waterfront walk with market stalls, and an excellent café for lunch. For travellers who choose to visit Porto, we recommend the wheelchair-accessible cable car, as this offers remarkable views of a city that is otherwise very hilly and whose streets are often narrow and cobbled.

Restaurants & Bars
With 21 restaurants and bars, you’re spoiled for choice aboard the Ventura. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch at the Poolside Pizzeria, want to enjoy the best of contemporary Indian cuisines at Sindhu, or fancy dressing up for a refined dining experience at Epicurean, you’re sure to enjoy the ship’s excellent dining venues.

While many of the Ventura’s restaurants are included in your full-board package, some venues require diners to pay a small surcharge. These dining experiences often include special dinnertime entertainment or a distinctive menu.

Port Visit
One of Normandy’s most important port cities and the second-largest artificial harbour in the world, historic Cherbourg has played an influential role in northern Europe’s history. From the Norman invasion through the Hundred Years War to the D-Day landings, it has been key to Anglo-Franco relations for over a millennium.

While the city centre is a 20-minute walk from the dock, there's plenty to do in the immediate vicinity. The spectacular art-deco architecture of the La Cité de la Mer marine museum houses an aquarium, a nuclear ballistic missile submarine and an exhibit on the Titanic, which made its final stop in the city. The Musée Thomas Henry art museum contains work by both local and international artists and the city’s pretty marina features plenty of bars and restaurants.

Disembark & Home Drop-Off
Following your final breakfast aboard the ship, the Limitless team will assist with check-out. The ship’s crew will take down your bags, and we’ll help you disembark, make sure you reach your pick-up, and say our farewells. Your transfer will then get you home, dropping you off at your front door.

We can’t wait to see you on your next Limitless holiday!
