Queen Anne: 12-Night Cruise from Southampton - October 31, 2027

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Praia da Vitoria, Portugal, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. This historic fortress overlooks the bay, providing insight into the island's maritime history.

The Queen Anne will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Visit the twin lakes of Sete Cidades, located in a massive volcanic caldera.

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Lisbon, Portugal, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Wear comfortable walking shoes for hilly streets and cobblestones.

With 7 hours hours in Vigo, Spain and the Queen Anne carrying over 2,000 passengers, time and transportation will be tight. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the best move - priority disembarkation and a guaranteed return to the ship. Don't leave this to chance. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on cobblestone streets and exploring hills.

Your cruise ends in Southampton, England, where the Queen Anne is scheduled to dock at 6:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Step back in time at the Tudor House Museum, a beautifully preserved historic home showcasing centuries of Southampton's domestic and social history, including exhibitions on trade and local life.
