Cruise Program

Main stops of your itinerary:

Malaga – Costa del Sol

Set on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, Malaga is a Moorish delight. During the Arab occupation of Spain, the city was the principal port of the Moorish kingdom of Granada. So what does that mean for you? It means the city of Granada and its striking Alhambra Palace are just a short drive away. Prepare to be blown away. • See Malaga’s 16th-century cathedral. It’s known as ‘La Manquita’ or ‘one-armed woman’ because lack of funds meant only one of the two planned towers was completed.  • Take in the views from the Alhambra Palace in Granada. This pink-gold, Arabian-style building sits on a hilltop, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains. 

Lisbon - Portugal

Portugal’s electric capital stands shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Madrid and Barcelona. You’ll find clusters of cocktail lounges in the Bairro Alto neighbourhood. In Chiado, meanwhile, lies the world’s oldest book store. The old town showcases a cosmopolitan café culture, with locals gathering in sun-dappled plazas to gossip over an espresso or ‘bica’.  • Stroll through tram-clattering cobbled streets taking in gems like Jeronimos Monastery and Belem Tower, an ancient castle guarding Lisbon’s harbour. • Make a beeline for Alfama, the ancient Arab quarter, and haggle for take-home trinkets in its atmospheric Thieves Market. • Fall in love with the town of Sintra. Loved by Portuguese royalty and English nobility, its thick forests and surrealist architecture are a refreshing contrast from urban Lisbon.

Portimao - Portugal

Portimao is full of fantastic seafood restaurants and has one of Portugal’s best shopping scenes. As for beaches, they don’t come prettier than neighbouring Praia da Rocha. It’s one of the most photographed sweeps of sand in Europe, thanks to a frame of striking silver cliffs.  • Wander along the promenade on Praia da Rocha’s cliff-top, which leads to the Fortress of Santa Catarina. It was built in 1621 to defend Portimao against opposing fleets but these days you’ll find a great al fresco café and sea views that’ll make you go weak at the knees. • If water could talk, the sea surrounding the Sagres Peninsula would have some stories to tell. It’s hosted battles by both Lord Nelson and Sir Francis Drake. 

Cadiz - Spain

From its impressive harbour to its streets packed with Moorish relics, Cadiz is a great introduction to Spain. One minute you can be admiring medieval walls, the next browsing the racks of designer boutiques. It’s one of those cities where a new surprise awaits at every turn. • Take a look at Cathedral de Cadiz, a take-your-breath-away creation by architect Vicente Acero. Head inside and you’ll see its interior is dominated by a beautiful apse. • Don’t miss a chance to visit Seville. Famed for its flamboyant flamenco and fiestas, this fragrant orange tree-lined city has a real zest for life. Admire the famous Gothic cathedral, where Christopher Columbus’ tomb lies. 

Casablanca – Morocco

Forget Bergman and Bogart’s famous film. This is the real Casablanca. Which means mosques, markets, bars and beaches all rubbing shoulders in Morocco’s biggest city. Whether you’re strolling down wide boulevards or browsing colourful bazaars, you’ll love this part of Morocco that’s got a cheeky French twist. • Look for the Hassan II Mosque as you glide into the harbour. Towering over the coastline, it’s one of the most impressive pieces of architecture in the world so cameras at the ready! • Be mesmerised by the magic and mystery of the Red City of Marrakech, a rich tapestry of sights, souks and snake-charmers’ flutes. 

Gibraltar – Gibraltar

Affectionately known as Gib or The Rock, Gibraltar is a little slice of Britain in the Mediterranean. And, just like the motherland, it’s a small stretch of land with a lot to offer. The history here is largely military-related – you’ll find Nelson’s anchorage where the body of Nelson was brought back to land after the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Parson’s Lodge Battery that dates back to 1875. Elsewhere, wildlife steals the show. Check out the cheeky Barbary apes or go whale-watching in the Strait. • Explore the Rock’s famous attractions like the Moorish Castle and the fascinating Gibraltar Museum, where you can learn about the island’s role in the World Wars as well as its prehistory. • Catch a bus or a taxi to Europa Point and see where ancient sailors arrived thousands of years ago. • Inside the Rock, you’ll find more miles of road than on the outside. Check out the Great Siege Tunnels and St Michael’s Cave.
