Spain and France, 7 Nights, P&O Britannia

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 Britannia
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 Britannia. 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 movie. 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
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 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
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.

Onboard Entertainment
There’s never a dull moment on the Britannia. From full-blown musical spectaculars to brilliant magic shows, the on-board entertainment is one of the ship’s biggest draws. We recommend checking out the incredibly popular interactive gameshow, Wavelength, and catching a performance by the always-excellent Headliners Theatre Company, too.

Of course, there’s also plenty of live music to enjoy, as well as stand-up comedy and cabaret performances. If you want a little dinnertime entertainment, the Limelight Club, Live Lounge and Crow’s Nest all put on mealtime performances to remember.

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!
