Savor a hearty breakfast as you arrive in Vigo, Spain's lively fishing hub on the rugged Galician coast. Rich in history, Vigo has endured naval attacks, including those led by Sir Francis Drake. This bustling city blends a thriving fishing port with a charming old quarter, boasting beautiful beaches and a lively nightlife filled with tapas bars and clubs. Known for its seafood, especially octopus, Vigo's local delicacies pair perfectly with glasses of Galician Albariño. Be sure to visit Fish Street (Ruá de Pescaderia) to sample the renowned offerings of Vigo's oyster sellers.

Explore Lisbon, a beloved destination among Limitless travellers. Take in the picturesque pastel-coloured scenery as the ship cruises along the Tagus River, passing iconic landmarks like Belem Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries. Despite its compact size, Lisbon's sprawling districts offer unique charm, from the bustling streets of Baixa to the lively atmosphere of Bairro Alto and the medieval character of Alfama. Ensure your camera is at the ready to capture the city's enchanting beauty.

Today marks your arrival into the port of La Coruña. Nestled on the northwestern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, it holds the unique distinction of being the closest European port to New York. This picturesque amalgamation of historical and modern elements unfolds along its two-mile coastline, adorned with inviting beaches. The old town, centred around Maria Pita Square, enchants with shops, bars, and restaurants, complemented by engaging attractions like the interactive House of Mankind, an aquarium, and a planetarium. As the primary Atlantic gateway to the ruggedly scenic Galicia, A Coruña serves as a portal to Santiago de Compostela, a globally renowned pilgrimage site featuring a Romanesque cathedral.

Start day 6 with a delightful morning and a hearty breakfast. The Limitless Team will be there to assist you as you disembark the ship at your final destination, Bilbao. As the unofficial capital of Basque country in Spain's northwest, Bilbao seamlessly blends the old with the new. Once an industrial powerhouse, the city underwent a remarkable transformation with the inauguration of the Guggenheim in 1997, becoming a center for exceptional art, architecture, and gastronomy. Explore the historic Siete Calles of Casco Viejo, Bilbao's medieval quarter, where modern trams traverse avenues lined with boutiques, bakeries, and outdoor cafes. Bilbao's unique charm awaits on your Spain cruise, showcasing the city's enduring pride in Basque Country.

Celebrate your last full day on board. Double-check your onboard bucket list – have you indulged in a refreshing pool dip, especially at the accessible pool with a lift? If there's a specialty restaurant that piqued your interest all week but hasn't been booked yet, today is your chance to savour its unique menu. Most importantly, relish every moment, enjoy the fun, and share stories of your adventures with fellow Limitless guests.

Following your final breakfast, we'll assist you with the check-out process. The ship's crew will handle your bags, and our caring team will be there to offer any assistance you may need. As you embark on the transfers back to the pick-up points, we hope you leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and excited for your next Limitless adventure. We eagerly look forward to welcoming you aboard again soon!
