Portugal, Spain and France Cunard Queen Victoria 2026

Home Pick-Up & Boarding
Your holiday begins! Whether you’ve made use of the complimentary parking or a Limitless 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 Victoria
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 Victoria. 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
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.

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 laid down his life leading a rearguard action that enabled thousands of British soldiers to escape French Forces in the early 1800s 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
Situated a short distance north of beautiful Bordeaux, Pauillac is a charming village that occupies a central position in southwest France’s premier wine region. Known for its rolling vineyards, exquisite cuisine, and world-class wines, Pauillac offers Limitless Travellers a taste of the good life.

Pauillac’s compact size ensures it’s wonderfully accessible, with everything just a short distance from the port. Take a leisurely stroll along the harbour, soak in the scenic views, and indulge in fresh oysters and classic French cuisine at one of the many quaint cafés. Don’t miss the opportunity to try the region’s famous locally raised lamb, a delicacy celebrated across France. Pauillac is all about great food and some of the world’s best wine - so indulge and enjoy!

Sailing Home
By now, you will have spent a few days exploring the Queen Victoria and enjoying the facilities, activities and entertainment. But we guarantee there are still things you’re yet to see, do or find. Have you visited the onboard library? Tucked into a steak at The Verandah? Expanded your horizons at one of the Queen Victoria’s award-winning Cunard Insights talks?

As we make our way back to Southampton, this is a great opportunity to check out those parts of the Queen Victoria you’re yet to see or return to your favourite spots. Or just relax in total comfort and reminisce about the places you’ve seen over the course of your holiday. Have a chat with your Tour Manager in the morning and organise the perfect final day.

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!
