What better way to spend the Christmas break than being looked after by Marco Polo's attentive crew? Step aboard in Bristol for a cruise into the warm waters of the Atlantic. Call at four sun-kissed Canary Isles and the glorious garden-paradise of Madeira. Discover the black-sand beaches and volcanic landscape of Lanzarote, the palm-fringed squares of Vegueta, Las Palmas' old town on Gran Canaria, and the space-age curves of the seafront Auditorio in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Spend a leisurely Christmas Day and New Year's Eve at sea, and explore Madeira's capital, Funchal, as Marco Polo calls here on Boxing Day.
You'll also have opportunities to visit the historic cities of Cork and Lisbon, explore Gibraltar on New Year's Day, and perhaps visit Santiago de Compostela's vast, ornate cathedral on optional shore excursion from La Coruna.

Madeira is one of the world’s most beautiful islands, a lush, sub-tropical paradise that's home to some of the most vibrant and exotic flora on Earth. The verdant island capital, Funchal, is a relaxing and captivating place for a Boxing Day walk, and you really shouldn't miss the exhilaration of a wickerwork 'toboggan' ride down through the streets from Monte to Livramento!
Arrive: 1200hrs
Depart: 2000hrs
One of the world’s most beautiful islands, La Palma, waits to greet Marco Polo at lunchtime, today. Step ashore to explore a landscape dominated by an 8000-foot central mountain and where the main town, Santa Cruz, acts as a gateway to the rugged but beautiful countryside.

Say goodbye to Marco Polo, her crew and your fellow passengers as she arrives in Bristol, today, and you disembark at the end of a wonderful cruise.
Days marked above with an anchor include ports where you will be transferred to shore by landing boat. These ports may be inaccessible for customers with mobility difficulties as a result. Any days not listed will be spent at sea.
British Citizens will need a full, 10-year passport to travel on this cruise. Since some countries require visitors to be valid for at least six months after the return date of the cruise we recommend that all customers ensure that this is the case. Holders of non-British passports should check with the relevant embassies to see if any requirements and restrictions exist for any countries visited during the cruise.
Visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice to find out the latest Foreign And Commonwealth Office travel advice for your holiday destination, as well as information about passports and visas.
In an age of vast, impersonal, floating hotels, 22,000-tonne Marco Polo, her profile marking her out as the epitome of sea-going elegance, is a beautiful ocean-liner in the classic tradition. Offering high levels of comfort, sumptuous dining and a genuinely warm welcome from the crew, Marco Polo will offer everything you'd expect of such a high-class vessel.
