Day 1: Lisbon, Portugal | Embark

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is brimming with a vibrant history that is evident in every corner. Whether it's the final resting place of the renowned explorer Vasco de Gama at Jeronimos Monastery or the ancient São Jorge Castle with impressive turrets dating back to the second century B.C.E., Lisbon offers a captivating journey into the past for curious travelers. While being the oldest city in Western Europe and showcasing various Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, Lisbon has also embraced modernity. The city's dynamic culture and lively ambiance in its eateries, stores, and rooftop bars create an infectious buzz. Exploring Lisbon via a tuk-tuk offers a glimpse into the city's local life.

Day 2: Portimão, Portugal

Along the southwestern coast of the Algarve region of Portugal lies the vibrant port city of Portimão, equal parts history come to life and modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The Megalithic Monuments of Alcalar contain prehistoric remnants of the country’s beginnings, while Praia da Rocha (Rock Beach) presents the quintessential beach scene that makes this an ideal tropical getaway. Not far from here, you can find Praia dos Três Castelos, a beach well-known for its strange and dramatic limestone rock formations. Located in the urban setting of Portimão, the Fort of Santa Catarina creates a stark contrast with its medieval construct, where walking the ancient paths calls to your inner child and makes you feel a sense of wonder and imagination.

Day 3: Seville, Spain (Overnight)

With the only inland port in Spain - accessible only by small ship - and lying farther from the coastline than other port cities, Seville offers warmer temperatures that create a mild, Mediterranean climate perfect for sunny day explorations. Over 2,000 years of history make it an intriguing destination for the curious mind.

Once the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair host grounds, Maria Luisa Park now stands as a lush paradise of verdant lawns, palm trees, and pristine ponds. From Lawrence of Arabia to the Star Wars franchise, Plaza de España has played a role in film history throughout the years and through many genres.

Day 5: Gibraltar, UK (Overnight)

Perched on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula between Europe and Africa lies the famous Rock of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Steps, once a military path, now act as a pedestrian walkway for visitors who seek a challenging adventure that leads to rewarding panoramas. Atop the promontory, the 300 Barbary macaques, Europe’s only wild-monkey population, greet you and await their feeding.

In the Neolithic limestone caves of Gibraltar, where Europe’s Neanderthal ancestors once lived, stalactites and stalagmites tell the story of thousands of years of history. Among this system lies St. Michael’s Cave, where the residents of Gibraltar turned the natural formations into an event auditorium where the staging’s lights cast an ethereal glow against the rocks for a truly magnificent show.

A Moroccan port in the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier has acted as the connection between Europe and North Africa since Phoenician times. It’s also a less-traveled port, so it offers a more authentic feel to city life in Morocco. Wander the medina to lose yourself in the maze of narrow streets leading to the Grand Socco marketplace. The Kasbah Museum, the old sultan’s palace restored to its former glory, contains a dazzling array of detailed maps, mesmerizing courtyards and signature Moorish architecture. Explore the Caves of Hercules, near Cap Spartel just outside of Tangier city limits.

Day 7: At Sea

Spend the day on the high seas pampering yourself at the spa or enjoying some time on deck. Mingle with your fellow explorers and swap stories of your exploits, making plans for new ones together once you get to shore.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.
