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.

Britannia Singer

Day 2 - At Sea

< >

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.

Gijon
Gijon

Day 3 - Gijón, Spain

< >

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.

La Coruna

Day 4 - A Coruña, Spain

< >

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.

Vigo
Vigo

Day 5 - Vigo, Spain

< >

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.

Cherbourg
Cherbourg

Day 7 - Cherbourg, France

< >

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!

FAQs

What’s included in an accessible P&O cabin?

  • Wide access doors

  • Space for mobility scooters to be stored

  • Wet room bathrooms with wide door access and grip handles

How does Limitless assist with check in and boarding?

Having met the Limitless Team at the port, we'll accompany you to the special assistance check-in. As it's separate from regular check-in, there are no crowds or lengthy queues.

You'll then be given a boarding time. Usually, we board as a group. However, if this isn't possible and you would like the assistance, we ensure a carer accompanies you onto the ship.

We board via the accessible gangway. This ramp connects the ship to the port. If you require support or assistance, both the Limitless Team and the ship's crew will be on hand to help. There are also manual wheelchairs available to make this transfer easier.

On some ships, the accessible gangway can be a little steep. In these instances, two crew members will provide support - one in front and one behind. You'll never be rushed and your safety and comfort are always the priorities.

Remember, you don't need to pre-book any special assistance at the port! We provide this assistance as standard with all Limitless cruises.

What is Limitless Group Support and Holiday Assistance?

Group Support & Holiday Assistance is included as standard with all Limitless holidays. It's what sets us apart from every other UK holiday provider!

This level of support is suitable for those who do not require physical support, but may need a helping hand to make the most of their holiday experience. We provide this assistance in a group setting, so you must be able to support yourself if you intend to leave the group at any point.

What does Group Support & Holiday Assistance include?

✓ Pre-holiday assistance from your Personal Travel Advisor, who will answer any questions you have and provide support with hiring any limited mobility equipment you require.

✓ During your holiday, the Limitless Team will assist you with making the holiday accessible day-to-day, including:

✓ Help with checking in to your hotel

✓ Assistance with luggage

✓ Help with accessing excursions

For more details, speak with a member of the Limitless team on 0800 711 7112.

What can Limitless do if I require additional care and support?

At Limitless, we offer a range of additional care packages if your require a little more assistance. This allows us to tailor care to individual Limitless Travellers and ensure your needs are met while on holiday.

They range from our Morning, Evening & Occasional Daytime Care package for travellers who require intermittent assistance with personal care to our One-to-One Care With Hoisting package for travellers who would benefit from comprehensive, all-day care.

We always recommend getting touch with your Personal Travel Advisor to discuss care packages. They are always on hand to answer questions, provide information, and make recommendations about the package they think is most suitable for you. You can contact Limitless on 0800 711 7112.

In addition to this, our care team will also reach out to you three months before your holiday to confirm you have everything you need to travel with complete confidence.

What are anchor ports and is Limitless responsible for port changes?

At Limitless Travel, we carefully select cruise itineraries with minimal anchor ports. Anchor ports are those destinations where port logistics mean a small boat or ‘tender’ transport is required to ferry guests to shore. In the vast majority of cases, these tenders are not accessible and some Limitless Travellers will not be able to leave the ship.

Unfortunately, port changes can happen due to any number of reasons while at sea. Limitless Travel cannot be held accountable for any such port changes.
