Embark on a captivating journey along the Spanish and Portuguese coastline, discovering five diverse and remarkable destinations.

Start your adventure in Gibraltar, where the awe-inspiring landscape awaits. Walk through its enchanting nature reserve, passing iconic landmarks such as the Rock of Gibraltar, St Michael's Cave, the historic WWII Tunnels, and the impressive Moorish castle. Afterwards, we set sail to Ceuta, located on the African peninsula, and immerse ourselves in its rich culture with the guidance of a knowledgeable local.

Next, your voyage takes you to Cadiz, where a fascinating tour with a local guide unveils the city's hidden gems. Then, arrive in Lisbon, a city of vibrant colours and history. Stroll through its pastel-hued streets alongside a local guide, delving into its intriguing past and enjoying its lively present. Explore winding alleys, visit breathtaking miradouros, and marvel at magnificent monuments.

Your final stop is Leixoes, from where you'll take a metro ride or transport to Porto, Portugal's second-largest city, a UNESCO world heritage site. Famous for its production of Port wine, Porto boasts a medieval historical centre adorned with ancient buildings and charming cobbled streets, featuring rooftop terrace bars. Accompanied by a local guide, we'll visit iconic spots like the beautiful Sao Bento Station, renowned for its historic Portuguese tiles.

One of the unique things about cruising holidays is that it allows us to discover extraordinary remote places that you would not usually be able to visit. In some ports of call you follow captivating walking trails and in some you will spend time with local guides, furthering your knowledge of history and culture during your exploration ashore. There will be free time in each port for you to explore at leisure, and your leader is always able to offer interesting suggestions.
