Day 1 - Lisbon, Portugal (Embarkation)
Spread over seven hills with São Jorge Castle views, bustling Lisbon is one of the world’s oldest cities. Elegant Baixa, hilltop Alfama with its yellow tram, and scenic Graça overviewing pastel buildings, are top areas. The Jerónimos Monastery in Belém is a World Heritage Gothic site. The classic Portuguese pastel de nata custard tarts are a local treat. Europe’s longest suspension bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, crosses the river Tagus.

Upon arrival at the Lisbon airport you will be greeted by one of our transfer representatives and escorted to the ship or an independently booked pre-cruise hotel before embarking on our journey aboard the SH Diana.

Day 2 - Leixões (Oporto), Portugal

e the surrounding area offers Atlantic beaches, seafood restaurants and convenient connections to the Douro Valley, making Leixões both a working harbor and a gateway to northern Portugal’s cultural and wine heritage.

Day 3 - Vilagarcía de Arousa (Santiago de Compostela), Spain
Vilagarcía de Arousa serves as the natural gateway to Santiago de Compostela, where a sweeping seafront promenade buzzes with waterfront cafés and restaurants offering fresh Galician seafood. Inland lies the UNESCO World Heritage Old Town of Santiago de Compostela, where the soaring spires of its legendary cathedral welcome thousands of pilgrims completing their transformative journey along the ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.

Day 4 - Ferrol, Spain
With a rich seafaring history and scenic beaches, Ferrol, on Galicia’s Atlantic coast, is home to the Ferrol Naval Museum and the 16th-century San Felipe Castle. Nearby La Coruña, dubbed the “Crystal City” for its glass-galleried waterfront buildings, showcases the Tower of Hercules, the world’s oldest Roman lighthouse still in use and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll its seaside promenade, one of the longest in Europe, or explore the arcaded Plaza de María Pita at the heart of the old town.

Day 5 - Fun Day at Sea!
Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible trip or pamper yourself at the spa or enjoy some time on deck sunning, enjoying a meal or reading a book. There is also sure to be plenty of Brand g Entertainment and Activities to keep you entertained.

Day 6 - Tresco, Isles of Scilly, United Kingdom
A rare stop at one of England’s most remote inhabited archipelagos, 28 miles off the tip of Cornwall. Tresco is best known for its Abbey Garden — subtropical plants thriving in a climate shaped by the Gulf Stream — and for the kind of quiet that is increasingly hard to find.

Day 7 - Fowey (Cornwall), United Kingdom
A small harbor town on the southern Cornish coast, Fowey sits at the mouth of a tidal estuary surrounded by wooded hills. The town’s history is bound up with the sea — medieval trading port, naval base, and later the home of writer Daphne du Maurier, who drew heavily on the surrounding landscape in her novels.

Day 8 - Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
Cowes is one of Britain’s most iconic sailing towns, famous for its elegant yacht regattas and rich maritime heritage. For over two centuries, it has welcomed royalty and sailors alike. Beyond its seafaring reputation, Cowes offers picturesque streets lined with traditional pubs, boutique shops, and scenic waterfront views across the Solent. A perfect blend of maritime history, gentle island pace, and quintessentially English charm.

Day 9 - London, United Kingdom
The ship enters the Thames Estuary and makes the iconic passage upriver to central London — past marshes, old docklands and a constantly changing skyline, before mooring near Tower Bridge. A full day and overnight in the heart of the British capital gives time to explore: the City, the South Bank, the great museums and streets that have been at the center of world events for centuries.

Day 10 - London, United Kingdom (Disembarkation)
Today we bid adieu to the SH Diana and to the new friends we met onboard. Upon disembarkation, you may take advantage of our included airport transfers, or extend on your own and we’ll provide a transfer to your independent accommodations in London.
