Your second stop is the postcard-perfect city of Lisbon. Capital of Portugal and one of the hottest destinations in Europe, it’s a beautiful city that boasts picturesque streets and grand squares, and is renowned for it pretty pastel coloured buildings. As we’re arriving, we’ll cruise past the Belem Tower, the Cristo Rei, and under the city’s impressive suspension bridge.

Once we've disembarked the ship, we'll enjoy a gentle tour over to the Praça do Comércio Square and a wine tasting experience. And of course, no trip to Lisbon is complete without a taste of the traditional Pastel De Nata!

After a bumper packed few days, today you will be able to sit back, relax, and continue to make the most of the excellent facilities aboard the Apex as we sail towards the Canary Islands. Today could be the perfect day to book in for a spa treatment, take part in a cookery class, or sip drinks in one of the many bars boasting stunning sea views. If you packed your swimming costume the Apex has 3 pools and 5 hot tubs. Disabled lift access is available giving everyone the option to cool off under the glorious Mediterranean sun.

Today we arrive in Gran Canaria, the most densely populated of the Canary Islands and possibly the most naturally diverse, too. You’ll get to see the island’s natural beauty as we approach before the ship docks in the Santa Catalina cruise terminal. Boasting terrific access to the island’s cool capital, Las Palmas, the terminal is also only 100 metres down the road from Muelle, an extremely popular local shopping complex. If you want to head into the city centre, check out Vegueta, Las Palmas’ trendy old quarter. Prefer the beach? Playa de las Canteras is also within easy reach.

Today your cruise brings you to the largest of the Canary Islands. Tenerife welcomes you with one of the world's most diverse landscapes, boasting verdant valleys, lush plantations, glorious beaches, expansive pinewoods, and the otherworldly terrain of Mount Teide National Park. Santa Cruz, Tenerife's cruise port, has evolved from a fishing village into a splendid city, boasting sophisticated bars, diverse restaurants, eclectic shops, fine architecture, and captivating museums. Enjoy the day exploring Tenerife which promises the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Madeira offers many wonderful sights and experiences.

A haven of indulgence, the Spa offers a comprehensive range of rejuvenating experiences. Experience innovative advancements in beauty, fitness, and wellness that redefine relaxation at sea. Whether you're indulging in acupuncture, facials, massages, or specialty IV treatments, the Spa makes it easy to lose yourself in tranquility.

Bienvenidos a España! The fascinating town of Vigo is your final port of call. A historic maritime settlement that boasts some beautiful neoclassical architecture, Vigo is also home to Europe’s largest fishing fleet. It’s a cool and atmospheric town, where brilliant tapas bars, charming cafes and fantastic restaurants are abound.

Your cruise ship will dock only a few minutes from the palm-lined streets of Vigo’s town centre. Our carers, as always, will assist you when you disembark the ship and head out to experience your final taste of Spain. We recommend sampling some of the local seafood - it doesn’t get much fresher than this.

As you arise for your last full day on board, why not savour the moment with a continental breakfast delivered to your cabin? As the day progresses, take this opportunity to ensure you've experienced all the onboard entertainment that perhaps you haven't yet had a chance to try. It's also the ideal time to connect with fellow Limitless guests you've met during your journey. Swap photos, share memories, and relish in the camaraderie. Following your evening meal, get ready to dance, sing, and revel in the entertainment onboard the Apex for one final hurrah.

After your last breakfast, we’ll help you check-out. Your bags will be taken down by the wonderful Celebrity crew and our care team will be on-hand to assist you in disembarking the ship without hassle. From here you will join the transfers back to the pick-up points, relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for your next Limitless adventure. We can’t wait to see you again!
