Spain and France 7 Nights Cunard Queen Elizabeth 2027

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.

Exploring the Queen Elizabeth

Your first day at sea is all about exploring the ship and settling in. Typically, the Limitless Team meets with everyone in the morning to catch up over breakfast, make sure you had a comfortable night, discuss the day ahead, and plan activities. We often lunch and dine as a group as well, so you’re never short of company.

During days at sea, there’s plenty to see and do on the Queen Elizabeth. As a group, Limitless Travellers often enjoy a relaxed morning, followed by a group lunch and some afternoon fun - be it a theatre show or a musical performance. Then it’s time to get dressed up for a delicious dinner, followed by some fantastic evening entertainment. Of course, how you spend your day is entirely up to you! But it’s good to know that the Limitless Team and your fellow travellers are always around too.

Port Visit

Situated on Spain’s north coast, A Coruña is a charming blend of old and new and an excellent stop for anyone interested in Galician culture and good food. The largely pedestrianised old town centres on Maria Pita Square and boasts an array of shops, bars, and restaurants, while the famous Torre de Hércules lighthouse stands proud a little way down the coast.

On arriving at A Coruña, Limitless Travellers typically enjoy a walking tour that doesn’t stray too far from the ship but enables visitors to get a feel for the city and see several attractions, including the Tomb of Sir John Moore - a touching monument to the British General who led a famous rearguard action during the Peninsular War and about whom the famous Charles Wolfe poem was written.

Port Visit

Once the focal point for the Asturian region’s important mining, steel and chemical industries, Gijón has transformed over the decades, becoming an energetic seaside city famous for its excellent food, great beaches and cultural attractions. As many of the city centre streets are now pedestrianised, it’s also a joy to explore.

Close to the shuttle drop-off area, the large Playa de Poniente beach is a great place to spend the day. The beach area is well-equipped for Limitless Travellers, and the surrounding harbour is home to plenty of bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a spot to eat or a refreshing beverage. For the more historically inclined, the Campo Valdes Roman baths are fully accessible and enable visitors to explore the region’s ancient history.

Port Visit

The capital of northern Spain’s Cantabria region, Santander stretches across a spectacular bay and is famous for its delicious seafood, striking beaches and excellent shopping. While much of the city burned down in the Great Fire of 1941, it has returned stronger than ever, and its youthful population ensures the city streets have a vibrant and energetic feel.

For Limitless Travellers, the Cathedral of Santander is one of the city’s biggest attractions. Featuring imposing gothic architecture, it benefits from ramped access and is largely accessible throughout. Close by, the Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria (MUPAC) explores the region’s deep past and guarantees a fascinating visit.

Onboard Entertainment

The Queen Elizabeth’s exquisite venues hark back to a bygone age of fantastic on-sea entertainment. The 800-seat Royal Theatre is finished in majestic blue, boasts plush boxes for hire and hosts unforgettable West End shows, hair-raising musical talents, and fascinating guest speakers. The ever-popular Queen’s Room features a glamorous ballroom space and surrounding seating, from which you can enjoy nightly live music and dance classes.

The Commodore Club’s panoramic ocean views and intimate atmosphere make for the ideal environment in which to enjoy live piano, while the Golden Lion offers a more relaxed, pub-themed space where you can dance the night away to great singers and bands. Of course, you’ll also find live performers in the Grand Lobby, setting the mood for the night ahead.  

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!
