Land Ahoy! Romantic Cadiz boasts thousands of years of history and has been one of Spain’s most important coastal cities for much of the country’s past. One of the spiritual homes of flamenco, it’s a city with a unique character and visible Arabic heritage, ensuring it’s an enchanting stop on your cruise. Almost entirely surrounded by water, Cadiz is one of the Iberian Peninsula’s hidden gems and a favourite amongst many Spanish travellers. The locals are known for their welcoming, down-to-earth character and the city’s restaurants are seafood specialists, so make sure you sit down for some fresh fish before you leave.

Back on board the Britannia today as we sail towards your next thrilling destination. Take some time to relax and unwind at the onboard library, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean weather while delving into a new novel on deck. And since you're aboard the Britannia, why not embrace a quintessentially British activity by treating yourself to a classic afternoon tea? Indulge in a tempting array of freshly baked scones with jam and cream, all accompanied by your choice of specialty fine teas, available in several of Britannia's main dining areas. It's the perfect way to savour the elegance and charm of British tradition while cruising through the Mediterranean.

Today, Britannia docks in Mallorca, inviting you to explore the captivating city of Palma. Dominated by its iconic Gothic cathedral, Palma, the capital and cruise port of Majorca, has emerged as one of the most sophisticated hotspots in the Mediterranean. Upscale shops blend with authentic Balearic restaurants and tapas bars in this easily navigable city.

From the harbour, adorned with luxurious yachts, make your way to the magnificent cathedral. As you marvel at its grandeur, consider that it took 500 years to complete. Surrounding this ancient structure are side streets and alleys, offering a glimpse into the city's rich cultural past and Moorish influences. Wander through these pathways, immersing yourself in Palma's multifaceted history and heritage.

After an eventful day on shore, today offers a chance to unwind as we sail towards our next port. If you're craving some "me" time, why not explore the onboard spa and wellness facilities? Treat yourself to a rejuvenating experience, and don't forget—they even have a hairdresser onboard!

Ciao! Today, you have the opportunity to explore Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. The city boasts a plethora of museums, historic churches, and ancient artefacts. Many of its remarkable attractions are easily accessible by wandering through the walled Castello area, characterised by its winding alleyways and charming open piazzas.

For history enthusiasts, a visit to Sardinia's finest archaeological museum is a must. Here, you'll find exhibits spanning millennia, including the impressive Sardinian 'stone army'—which predates China's Terracotta Army by 500 years.

Amidst the array of dining options, it's easy to overlook the specialty choices, such as Sindhu, which offers a contemporary twist on Indian cuisine. While these options may involve a small extra charge, they are a worthwhile indulgence during your holiday. If a specialty restaurant piques your interest, we recommend booking through your onboard app early, as the exceptional cuisine tends to be in high demand. Rest assured, the dedicated Limitless staff will be readily available to assist with any bookings if needed.

Another day, another port. Renowned as the clubbing capital of the Mediterranean, Ibiza, a Balearic island, has more to offer than just its legendary nightlife. Explore the Old Quarter of Ibiza Town, its charming capital, where a 16th-century citadel and fortifications rise steeply from the harbor. Admire the Gothic Catalan cathedral, doubling as a museum, and discover contemporary art at the Museu d'Art Contemporani. In the lower town, chic fashion boutiques showcase stylish designs, accompanied by numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars. If relaxation is on your agenda, head to the stunning beaches at La Salinas and Es Cavellet, located nearby.

A city steeped in history and boasting a name that reflects its age – founded over 2,200 years ago by Carthaginian leader Hasdrubal – Cartagena has evolved into one of Spain's bustling commercial centres. On arrival, you are immediately immersed in its rich historical tapestry. Even as you approach the harbour, flanked by imposing fortresses, the city's antiquity becomes evident. In the heart of the old town lies the original Carthaginian castle and remnants of the ancient city walls. However, Cartagena is a city that embraces the contemporary, exemplified by the new harbour front development, which includes the unique National Museum of Underwater Archaeology.

As a British Overseas Territory blending British and Mediterranean charm, Gibraltar stands out as a premier destination with over 300 days of sunshine annually. Formerly known in ancient times as the Pillars of Hercules, this location offers a unique perspective on the proximity of the coast to Morocco, with the possibility of glimpsing the mountain ranges across the bay. Wander through the shops, where you're certain to discover a variety of souvenirs and trinkets, or visit the beach, bordered by brightly coloured local fishing vessels. However, keep a watchful eye, as Gibraltar is renowned for its playful Barbary apes.

As the ship begins its northward journey, today presents the perfect chance to indulge in one of the onboard pools on the Britannia. Equipped with a pool featuring lift access, they are accessible for everyone to enjoy. If swimming isn't your preference, consider making your way to the Crows Nest. With its spectacular views and delectable cocktails, it's easy to lose track of time as you sit back and watch the world go by.

As you wake for your final full day aboard, take the time to exchange memories and stories with your fellow Limitless passengers. Revisit your favourite venues or explore something new before your departure. With numerous attractions on board, there's likely plenty you haven't experienced yet. Have you had a chance to visit the art gallery?

In the evening, dress up and prepare to savour your last night of entertainment. Sit back, laugh, sing, dance, and relish in the enjoyment of your final evening before arriving in Southampton in the morning

After your last breakfast, we’ll help you check-out. Your bags will be taken down by the Britannia's crew and our care team will be on-hand to assist you. 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!
