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.

Ship/Hotel

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
