Cruising at sea.

Day 3
Tangier, Morocco

Located in the kingdom of Morocco, at the western tip of North Africa, Tangier will give you the opportunity to bargain for treasures at the Grand Souk - especially brass, silver, amber, leather and rugs.

Day 4
Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon is located on the south-west Atlantic Coast and is the capital of Portugal. It dates back over 19 centuries and in 1147 was conquered by the Moors. This elegant and unique city bears the mark of an incredible heritage and offers interesting attractions.

Day 5
Cádiz, Spain

Cadiz, founded by the Phoenicians around 1100 B.C., holds the distinction of being the oldest city in Europe. Surrounded by water on three sides and connected to the mainland by a strip of land called Puerta de Tierra, Cádiz flourished in the days of Spanish exploration. Today, this city thrives under the Spanish sun and has an international flavour, with many cafés along the coast.

Day 6
Casablanca, Morocco

The largest city in Morocco, Casablanca is impressive, with large boulevards and tall, white, well-kept buildings. The old city is more reminiscent of the Casablanca of Bergman and Bogart; a much smaller area with older houses and a good market. Certain landmarks are particularly beautiful, such as the newly-built Hassan II Mosque, which is well worth a visit.

Day 7
Malaga, Spain

Malaga is situated in the heart of Spain’s famous Costa del Sol. The Moors occupied this area of Spain for eight centuries and their influence is seen in the architecture, folklore and native costumes. From Almeria, Spvisit the Alhambra Palace, overlooking the city of Granada. It stands out as one the most famous examples of Moorish architecture, and perhaps it is the best-known Muslim construction. Delight in a visit of the lush gardens of the Generalife, the summer palace of the Kings of Granada. Marvel at the Nasrid Palace, constructed around the Myrtle and Lion Courts in the 14th century.

Day 8
Alicante, Spain

Alicante, with its beautiful boulevard and pleasant shopping street, is one of the best-known towns on the Costa Blanca. The coast of Alicante and the Costa Blanca owes its name to the beaches stretching for several kilometres and attracts many sun worshippers.

Day 9
Barcelona, Spain

Fabulous architecture, world-class museums, fine food, wines and fashionable shops; Barcelona has it all. Take a walk along Las Ramblas to feel the spirit of the city.

Day 10
Genoa, Italy

Birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Genoa has a long and proud history as one of the most important ports in the Mediterranean. The rejuvenated waterfront is home to an outstanding maritime museum and aquarium.
