One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and its largest city. It is also the westernmost capital in Europe—and one of the most beautiful capitals on the continent.

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Located on the sun-splashed southern coast of Portugal, the Algarve region boasts an average of more than 300 sunny days a year and more than 100 of the finest golden beaches in Europe.

Set on the banks of the Arade River, Portimão features colorful architecture, as well as excellent shopping and an abundance of restaurants and cafés. The There Moana will be able to sail up the waterway directly into Seville where big ships cannot.

Day 3: Seville, Spain

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
The capital of Andalucia, one of the 17 Autonomous Communities of Spain, Seville is steeped in 2,000 years of history. The old quarter is influenced by medieval, Renaissance, and baroque styles, as well as the Arab culture, and magnificent monuments may be found around every corner. Christopher Columbus, who launched the age of exploration, was laid to rest in the cathedral here, which is also the largest Gothic building in Europe. Together with the Alcázar royal palace and the Archivo de Indias (General Archive of the Indies), it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Immerse yourself in the city’s treasure trove of museums, most especially the Museo de Bellas Artes (Museum of Fine Arts). And be sure to sample the popular tapas, or appetizers, in the city that is credited with their invention.

Day 4: Ceuta, Spain

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner

Day 5: Motril, Spain

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
A pretty seaside resort in the Andalucian province of Granada, on the Costa Tropical, Motril features a historic quarter known as a fine example of Arab-Spanish urban development, as well as excellent shopping and dining.

Day 6: Ibiza, Spain

  • 1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
The Balearic Islands, an archipelago in the Mediterranean off the east coast of Spain, are one of Spain’s 17 Autonomous Communities. Ibiza, one of four main islands of the chain, offers superb weather, beautiful scenery, exceptional beaches, and warm hospitality. The main city of Ibiza, also called Ibiza, boasts a history that dates to the ancient Phoenicians and Carthaginians, though it is better known as an artists’ and hippie colony during the 1960s and today as a popular getaway for travelers and jetsetters. While here, enjoy the city’s charming historic architecture, beautiful beaches, and lively nightlife.

The highlight is the city’s Gothic cathedral—one of the finest in Spain—built on the site where a Roman temple and then a mosque once stood. The Arab quarter—a warren of narrow alleyways housing museums, palaces, and courtyards—rewards exploration. Yet, Palma de Mallorca also has a sophisticated side and offers the island’s best shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.
