Itinerary

Venture across the Atlantic to the iconic shores of Iberia and North Africa during this 24-day cruise along the storied coasts of Portugal, Spain and Morocco. Indulge in sweet pastries as you browse seaside shops and terraced cafés in Sintra, the summer residence of Portuguese royalty for more than six centuries. Immerse your senses in the endless chatter of haggling shopkeepers and aromatic spices in the middle of Casablanca's bustling Central Market, then sample tea and regional dishes at a Moroccan cooking demonstration. Watch flamenco dance performances while sipping aged sherry paired with Andalusian olives and rustic bread during an overnight stay in Cádiz. Slip inside the cool shadows of the British Empire's fortifications atop the limestone outcroppings on the Rock of Gibraltar. Ride horseback into Mijas Mountain forests prior to an overnight stay in Málaga. Experience the opulent 19th century halls of Casino of Murcia near Cartgena from the perspective of aristocratic high rollers.
