Aboard Queen Mary 2 with Cunard Line
Cruise Overview
Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port.
It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux.
The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is a beautiful and scenic island which enjoys year-round sunshine and is dominated by Mount Teide.
The mountain range runs through the centre of the island, with fertile valleys on the northern side.
In the central part of the range is the gigantic natural crater of the Cañadas del Teide, about 14 miles in diameter.
Santa Cruz, the island’s pretty capital, was originally a small fishing village but has now grown into a modern city, and also contains 16th-century civic buildings and ornate private mansions.
Near the pier is the Santa Cruz Palmetum, a Botanical Garden covering an area of 29 acres, specialising in palms.
Nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, cocoa those heady aromas fill the air in Grenada (pronounced gruh-nay-da).
Only 21 miles (33½ km) long and 12 miles (19½ km) wide, the Isle of Spice is a tropical gem of lush rain forests, white-sand beaches, secluded coves, exotic flowers, and enough locally grown spices to fill anyone's kitchen cabinet.
St.
George's is one of the most picturesque capital cities in the Caribbean, St.
George's Harbour is one of the most picturesque harbors, and Grenada's Grand Anse Beach is one of the region's finest beaches.
The island has friendly, hospitable people and enough good shopping, restaurants, historic sites, and natural wonders to make it a popular port of call.
About one-third of Grenada's visitors arrive by cruise ship, and that number continues to grow each year.
Grenada's capital is a bustling West Indian city, much of which remains unchanged from colonial days.
Narrow streets lined with shops wind up, down, and across steep hills.
Brick warehouses cling to the waterfront, and pastel-painted homes rise from the waterfront and disappear into steep green hills.
The horseshoe-shaped St.
George's Harbour, a submerged volcanic crater, is arguably the prettiest harbor in the Caribbean.
Schooners, ferries, and tour boats tie up along the seawall or at the small dinghy dock.
The Carenage (pronounced car-a-nahzh), which surrounds the harbor, is the capital's center.
Warehouses, shops, and restaurants line the waterfront.
The Christ of the Deep statue that sits on the pedestrian plaza at the center of The Carenage was presented to Grenada by Costa Cruise Line in remembrance of its ship, Bianca C, which burned and sank in the harbor in 1961 and is now a favorite dive site.
An engineering feat for its time, the 340-foot-long Sendall Tunnel was built in 1895 and named for Walter Sendall, an early governor.
The narrow tunnel, used by both pedestrians and vehicles, separates the harbor side of St.
George's from the Esplanade on the bay side of town, where you can find the markets (produce, meat, and fish), the Cruise Ship Terminal, the Esplanade Mall, and the public bus station.
