Join us on this Grand Event cruise to witness one of the most extraordinary sailaway events in history. Grand Event cruise special features:
Join Azura on this 11-night cruise filled with sun, sea, sand and stunning scenery. Along one of the most ruggedly scenic regions of Spain your first stop is La Coruna, home of the oldest working lighthouse in the world – Hercules’ Tower. Next is Madeira, famed for its scenic splendours, stunning cliff-top waterfalls and flora-covered mountains.La Palma, the ‘Fair Isle’, welcomes you to the Canaries with beautiful scenery and one of the prettiest harbours among all the islands – Santa Cruz. Tenerife boasts a snow-capped volcano, long golden beaches, fertile valleys and the bizarre lava desert of the Caldera de las Cañadas. Azura then transports you to the cosmopolitan charms of Lisbon with its distinctive districts and busy streets of inviting shops, cafés and restaurants. Enchanting Oporto provides your last port of call. The Roman ramparts and elegant Parisian-style squares are magnificent, but it's best known for its port wine – to which the city gave its name.
P&O Cruises from Southampton offer easy access and connections from across the UK. Coach transfers can be arranged and with dedicated Southampton cruises car-parking facilities in the port, coach drop-off points next to the terminal and easy access to taxis and public transport, the beginning and end of your cruise will be almost as calm as the holiday itself. We’ll take care of your luggage from the moment you arrive and our check-in is a stress free experience. You’ll avoid flight delays and baggage restrictions and can simply step on board your waiting ship.
