Day 1 Nice, France
Arrive in Nice, France in time for afternoon embarkation.
Day 2 Palma, Spain
Cultural center of Balearic Islands and modern metropolis with a cosmopolitan atmosphere, Palma of Majorca offers itself entirely to visitors. During a stroll in the heart of the old town, you will guess its history by walking on its pavements and by walking around its old walls.
Day 3 Ibiza, Spain
Since the Carthaginians, Ibiza keeps on seducing and still arouses so much emotion when you discover its white silhouette from the sea. In spite of its reputation and the eccentricity of some of its tourists, the island stays a real natural paradise with its magnificent beaches, its creeks lost between dunes and saltworks.
Day 4 Valencia, Spain
Third city of Spain, Valencia has the temperament of a big Mediterranean city which wide avenues encircle the heart of the old town. The city possesses an abundance of harmonious architectural styles, but it is mainly turned to the future with its Palais des Congrès and its Museum of Science and Industry, famous for its futuristic structures emerging from a crystalline blue swimming pool.
Day 5 Almeria, Spain
Port details pending.
Day 6 Malaga, Spain
Facing Morocco and the high lands of Grenada and the Guadalquivir, Malaga (Spain), the Andalusian, dominated by the castle of Gibralfaro has seen for more than 2000 years several civilizations following one another.
Day 7 Cadiz, Spain
The region of Andalucia lays out its green landscapes, and luminous beaches with a scattering of white citadels. This small corner of Spain, a reminder of the conquest by the Moors, has managed to retain its remarkable historical heritage since its foundation by the Phoenicians some 3,000 years ago. Cadiz, built on a rock and surrounded by the sea on all sides, is only linked to the mainland by a narrow strip of sand. Its strategic situation and its perfectly sheltered bay have meant it has been a coveted enclave across the centuries.
Day 8 Lisbon, Portugal
Disembark this morning for your continued journey home.

On the Grill Restaurant, you will have the opportunity to eat outside and enjoy buffet lunch and themed dinners.
Life aboard the L'Austral
Find a special ambiance aboard the L'Austral, as well as the feeling that you are on board your own yacht.
Whether you want to join other guests in the theater or games area (Wii™ consoles, etc), or relax on your own in a quiet corner of the library, L'Austral has been designed to meet the needs of every guest. Fitted with the latest equipment (Kinesis Wall, running machine) and the luxurious Beauty Center on L'Austral welcomes you for some unforgettable moments of relaxation and pampering.
Everything has been done to preserve the independence of each guest to suit their personal tastes: lounges for lectures and shows, the spa, but also more intimate spaces such as the library and internet corner. Comfortable cabins, nearly all with private balcony, are available for families either as triples or as communicating cabins. There is also a games area with Wii™ consoles, children’s menus, and baby-sitting service. Just as if you were on a private yacht, your time is your own to do as you please.
Smooth and quiet to provide maximum comfort, L'Austral has also earned the international “green ship” label for her numerous eco-friendly features (dynamic positioning system to avoid having to drop anchor, waste water treatment on board, reduced fuel consumption, etc).
