Lisbon, Portugal

La Coruña, Spain
The name of Coruña's cruise dock - Transatlantic Quay - reflects its location on the northwestern tip of the Iberian Peninsular making it the closest European port to New York.

Oporto is an enchanting, historic city with Roman ramparts and Parisian-style squares. But it's best known for its port wine - to which the city gave its name.
