** 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.
Today your adventure begins! Home-pick up included up to 125 miles ( additional distances charged at a small cost per mile), or pick up at Southampton Airport, or free parking for the duration of the cruise included.
Welcome aboard P&O's Ventura, your home for the next 14 nights. The Ventura is full of bars, restaurants, swimming pools and entertainment, a laid-back indoor pool with glass domed roof. Let your holiday begin!
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 Canary Island of La Palma, often referred to as 'La Isla Bonita' or 'The Fair Isle,' is renowned for its stunning and diverse landscapes, featuring lush forests, dramatic valleys, and pristine beaches. Its capital, Santa Cruz, is one of the most picturesque harbors in the Canary Islands and is best explored on foot.
Take a leisurely stroll along the Avenida Marítima promenade, leading you to the charming old quarter around Plaza de España. Here, you’ll discover treasures like a 16th-century fountain, a historic town hall, and a magnificent Renaissance-style church. Don’t miss the handicrafts market, where you can pick up distinctive pottery and sample delicious local treats. La Palma promises an unforgettable blend of natural beauty and cultural charm!
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 five new spots in the Canary Islands over five days 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 the ship will be travelling to your final exciting destination. Have you tried everything the ship has to offer as you travel? It even has a fully equipped Spa and Wellness centre onboard. Here you will find a barber and hairdresser if you fancy a mid holiday trim.
Today, we make our final stop in La Coruña - one of Galicia’s biggest cities and a major hub for the textiles and fashion industries. Home to international mega-brand, Zara, it boasts an exciting array of shops and boutiques.
It’s not all about the shopping, though. La Coruña is a vibrant and exciting beach town with a fantastic food scene and some of the best seafood in northern Spain. Your ship docks just a seven-minute walk from the central Maria Pita square, where you’ll find a number of delightful cafes, bars and restaurants and also be able to catch a glimpse of the city’s famous Hercules Lighthouse.
Your last full day onboard! Hopefully by now you've sampled all of the 15 restaurants - 8 speciality dining venues, 6 breakfast venues and afternoon tea on this disabled-friendly cruise. Some do carry extra charges not included in the cruise fare, but can be easily booked onboard and a great option to add variety from the main dining hall and buffet venues.
In the evening get ready for one final night of festivities and shows. Make sure to catch up with your other Limited Travel passengers to swap stories and share photos of your memorable time away.
On the morning of your departure, having enjoyed a final breakfast, we'll assist you with the check-out process. The attentive crew of the Ventura will handle your luggage, while our team will be available to provide any assistance you may need. You'll then join our transfers back to the designated pick-up points, feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and prepared for your next Limitless adventure. We eagerly anticipate your return!
