Holiday Overview

Swarovski diamond staircases adorn the atrium. Relax to classical music, jazz and acoustic singers. And, most spectacular of all - Cirque du Soleil has two acrobatic performances that will leave you breathless! And that is just the ship...

The cruise takes in six fantastic ports. Lisbon is the first, iconic city that is filled with cultural delights and heritage sites. Next on the list is the breathtakingly beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira, followed by the vibrant capital of Tenerife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Your second island in the Canary archipelago is culture-rich Gran Canaria, before we move on to the remarkable lava landscapes of Lanzarote. Finally, we visit Vigo, the Galician maritime city.

All along the way, you will receive support and care from the Limitless team. Speak to an advisor today and we can ensure you have a bespoke care package in place - a service entirely unique to Limitless.

Time to explore this fantastic ship! Either relax with breakfast in your cabin or peruse the fresh selection of the buffet. MSC is a truly European affair, so expect a variety of international dishes (along with the known comforts from the UK).

Our Limitless Care team will be on hand to help explore this incredible ship. Get a photo taken on the swarovski diamond staircase or the 100-meter galleria with its iconic LCD-screen roof!

Cruiselady

Entertainment Galore! MSC Cruises is host to its own exclusive Cirque du Soleil, which has a huge 360degree stage at the rear of the ship. It also has a number of smaller venues to keep guests entertained including a bowling alley, F1 simulator, 4D cinema and live music in the atrium and bars. Not only will you not be bored, you may not get to do everything onboard in two weeks!

Day 4 Lisbon

The image of Christ the Redeemer and the Bridge are viewable from the ship as you depart Lisbon! The same designer as the famous version in Rio...along with a different architect who also designed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Another day at sea! With the Limitless Support team aboard, you can fully experience all that MSC has to offer (or just relax in your balcony cabin with a good book as the ocean drifts past!).

Day 6 Funchal, Madeira

Your second fascinating port is the tropical island of Madeira. After breakfast, our Care Team will help with disembarkation. The Canary Island ports are known for a high-tidal variance, to times may vary but the downtown area and the cable car are only 20minutes walk away from the Cruise Terminal.

Day 7 Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Your third port to visit! The Cruise Terminal is 100-meters from the city centre, easily reached with the support of our care team. Founded in 1478, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria boasts an important historical and cultural heritage, much of which can be found in the district of Vegueta, the oldest quarter of the town, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.

Day 8 Santa Cruz, Tenerife
Santa Cruz, Tenerife

Enjoy a breakfast overlooking the mountainous and rugged terrain of Tenerife! With the help of the Limitless Care team and the local shuttles, we will visit Plaza de Espana, the centre of Santa Cruz and an excellent pedestrianised shopping area.

After a few hours of exploring, we will return to the ship. Every evening onboard there is something new to experience!

Day 9 Arrecife, Lanzarote

The last of the islands to visit today! Lanzarote is a treat for all the senses. From artistic wonders to natural beauties, the Lanzarote brims with culture, adventure and glorious sunshine.

Day 10 Day at sea

After a hectic 4 days of ports, relax in your cabin or explore the ship at your own pace. Maybe watch a spectacular show? Relax by the pool with a book? Get your heart-racing on the waterslides?

Day 11 Vigo, Spain

Ships dock at Muelle de trasatlánticos de Vigo, just a short walk across the palm-tree lined street to Vigo. Easily explored, this is the final port to visit! Whilst the old-town is up a small hill, to avoid it, we will detour through the A Laxe shopping mall (in front of the ship) and use the elevator to climb to the top floor where the food court is. The shopping mall’s top floor is connected to the old town via the elevated walkway and once you cross it, you’ll find yourself in Mercado da Pedra and the old town!

Day 12 Day at sea
Disabled-Friendly Cruises


Your last day of luxury (until next time!). The TV Studio Bar is a popular choice for interactive fun where you can take part in live televised games and quizzes, have a go at karaoke, see talent contests and watch live music and comedy. Alternatively, the Casino Imperiale is always a hit for anyone who enjoys a little flutter of an evening

Day 13 Southampton, UK
