* Limitless Travel carefully pick out cruise itineraries to ensure minimal anchor ports (where a small boat or ‘tender’ transports guests to shore) Unfortunately port changes can happen due to a number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel will not be held accountable for any port changes.
Your adventure begins right at your doorstep with our convenient and accessible home pick-up service, covering the first 125 miles at no extra cost. We’ll whisk you away to Southampton to join the tour group, where the Limitless Care Team will be ready to assist you with embarkation and ensure you are comfortably settled onboard and ready for a great holiday.
As with most cruises your holiday will start at sea. Start perhaps with a breakfast in bed, or wander to the buffet where there is a wide range of cooked and continental options. Today is all about exploring this fantastic ship and getting familiar with the facilities - of which the Limitless care team will be available to assist you.
We're cruising into warmer waters now. Why not choose today to relax in one of the four on-board swimming pools (hoist available) including the infinity pool at the very back of the ship! There are also hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms available to use. If you don't fancy taking a dip, you could enjoy a nice refreshing drink at one of the bars on deck and sit back and watch the world go by.
There is entertainment galore on board your ship, Ventura. Busting with entertainment venues - including West End-style shows, live music and classic cabaret. There is often live music to be found around the ship with up-beat bands playing poolside - to classical musicians in the atrium. Throughout the sea-days, the Ventura's entertainment team will be running around and keeping the ship smiling!
Land Ahoy! Today we make port in our first exciting location. After a hearty breakfast the Limitless team will be on hand to help everyone disembark and explore.
Cruise visitors will discover that the market town of Madeira is easily walkable with the port located right by the town, although, the further inland you explore, the steeper and narrower some of the streets become. Locally made wicker furniture, lacework and tapestries all make good buys, along with the ubiquitous Madeira wine. Funchal is also the base for escorted tours run directly with P&O if you would like to explore further inland.
Today you'll discover the largest of the Canary Islands—Tenerife, a haven with one of the world's most varied landscapes. From lush valleys and vibrant plantations to stunning beaches and the otherworldly Mount Teide National Park, Tenerife captivates with its natural wonders. Docking in Santa Cruz, the evolved cruise port turned splendid city, you'll encounter sophisticated bars, diverse restaurants, eclectic shops, fine architecture, and captivating museums. Immerse yourself in Tenerife's diverse charm, where every moment promises the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
The tranquil harbour, verdant palm groves and excellent climate of Gran Canaria's lively capital Las Palmas delighted Christopher Columbus when he discovered it on his famous voyage of 1492. Those same attractions now draw modern travellers keen to explore the atmospheric cobbled streets and leafy courtyards of its old quarter, Vegueta.
Lanzarote captivates with its uniquely alien and consistently breathtaking natural beauty. The landscape is shaped by volcanoes and lava fields, featuring rocks with improbable formations perched on balanced outposts, while black sand beaches vie for attention against traditional palm-lined coasts. As a UNESCO Geopark, the island is a captivating destination that mesmerises all who visit its volcanic shores.
The Ventura will dock in Arrecife, the island's capital, providing you with a full day to immerse yourself in its sun-drenched plazas, trendy bars, and atmospheric backstreets. For a dose of local culture, explore the Museo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo, showcasing numerous works by César Manrique, the island's influential artist.
Back onboard!After visiting four new spots in the Canary Islands and Portugal you've earned a relaxing day at sea! Relax with a pint in Brodie's Pub, the onboard British pub - or listen to the delightful ambience in the atrium with live pianist - or make a splash in the pool!
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.
An organised accessible excursion of the city has been organised by Limitless Travel meaning you can really experience Lisbon at its best.
Today is a perfect opportunity to unwind and enjoy the incredible amenities aboard the Ventura. Treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation with a visit to the fully equipped fitness and wellness center. Whether you choose to work out, indulge in spa treatments, or book an appointment with the onboard hairdresser or barber, you have everything you need for a day of pampering and rejuvenation. Sit back, relax, and let the Ventura's staff take care of you!
As you wake to your final full day aboard, don’t let the journey’s end bring you down—there’s still so much to enjoy! Take this time to revisit your favorite spots on the ship or try something you’ve been meaning to experience. In the evening, put on your best outfit and join your fellow passengers for one last night of celebrations.
