This was our third cruise on Marco Polo. Leaving from Avonmouth (Bristol) was delayed by the late arrival of a coach, and possibly the weather. This meant that tide was missed, and with a locking window of only an hour Marco Polo had to wait 12 hours for the next tide.
The outbound passage then meant that the call at La Coruna was not made.
Christmas Day was spent at sea and the first port of call was Lisbon. What a lovely city. Take a tour on the Red Bus, hop on hop off. Don't miss the Carriage Museum or the Military Museum.
