On arrival, our team will be ready to greet you, assist with check-in, and guide you through the boarding process. Once aboard, you’ll have time to settle into your accessible cabin and explore the ship before setting sail for the Mediterranean. That evening, enjoy a group dinner with fellow travellers.
As we set sail for the warm Mediterranean waters, you'll have a full day to explore the Arvia and enjoy its many amenities. Whether you're relaxing in your accessible cabin, soaking in the sea views with a cocktail on deck, catching a spectacular Broadway-style show, or singing your heart out at karaoke, there's something for everyone. Be sure to check the Horizon paper delivered to your cabin for the schedule of onboard activities and entertainment options. Or if you're ever unsure, just ask your Tour Manager who will be happy to discuss the exciting possibilities of what today could bring.
Today, we arrive in A Coruña, one of Galicia’s largest cities and a key centre for the textiles and fashion industries. Known as the home of international mega-brand Zara, the city offers an exciting selection of shops and boutiques. But there’s more to La Coruña than just shopping. This lively coastal city also boasts a fantastic culinary scene. Your ship docks just a short seven-minute walk from the central Maria Pita Square, where you can enjoy charming cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as catch a glimpse of the city’s iconic Hercules Lighthouse.
By Day 4, you'll be more comfortable navigating the ship and making the most of your time aboard.

Today we will be taking you on a guided tour of the city and will endeavour to see as many sights as possible during the time, we can not guarantee however what landmarks this will be due to varying conditions in the city and within the group.
On Day 10, take a breather and unwind after the exciting days of exploring various ports. Enjoy a relaxing day aboard the Arvia. Discover the ship’s peaceful spots, like the serene gardens or the quiet library, for a bit of downtime.

It’s a great day to simply enjoy the comfort of the ship and recharge before we continue the Mediterranean adventure.
Welcome to Cadiz, known as a spiritual home of flamenco, the city’s unique character and visible Arabic heritage make it an enchanting final stop. Almost surrounded by water, Cadiz is a hidden gem of the Iberian Peninsula and a favourite among Spanish travellers. The locals are renowned for their warm, friendly nature, and the city’s seafood restaurants are a must-visit, so be sure to enjoy some fresh fish before you depart.
As you start your journey home, consider a visit to the Limelight Club. This popular supper-club venue is a favourite for a reason. After enjoying the daytime dance classes and Karaoke , the Limelight Club offers an adult-only space for evening dining and entertainment. It features performances by both established and emerging vocalists and serves as the exclusive venue for resident performers and the house band.
As you embark on your last full day onboard, there's no need to feel down—there’s still plenty to enjoy. Take some time to catch up with the rest of the group, sharing photos and stories of your holiday. You might do this while savoring a refreshing cocktail at Anderson's Gin and Rum Bar. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a traditional cream tea is also available. In the evening, prepare for a memorable final dinner followed by a spectacular Broadway-style show in the main theatre. Drink, sing, dance, and revel in the experience as you create lasting memories.
On your final day, enjoy one last breakfast before we assist with your check-out. The Arvia’s crew will handle your luggage, and our care team will be there to ensure everything goes smoothly. You’ll then be transferred back to your pick-up points, feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, ready for your next Limitless adventure. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
