Day 1: Malaga, Spain | Embark

Malaga's fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnificent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace.

Day 2: Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland on Spain's south coast. It's dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m-high limestone ridge. The Cable Car is one of the ways to the Top of the Rock and a must-see attraction for all visitors to Gibraltar. The view is spectacular; you can watch the island's famous apes. A lesser-known wildlife attraction is the dolphins leaping in the sparkling waters of Gibraltar Bay. Whole families of dolphins visit the bay, and the chances of seeing them are good.

Day 3: Tangier, Morocco

Tangier was the real model for the famous American film Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It retains its faded mongrel charm - not entirely Moroccan, European, or African, but a heady mix of all three.

Day 4: Cadiz, Spain

Cadiz, called 'the cup of silver,' is almost African in appearance; its streets are lined with palm trees, and its churches are topped with dome-like cupolas. Take advantage of the optional tours to Seville, the irresistible capital and cultural center of Andalusia, which has a colorful and festive lifestyle.

Day 5: At Sea

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only), and a peaceful library.

Day 6: Safi, Morocco

Safi is mainly modern, home to a fishing port and diversified industries. The old town which lies within the city is still very much alive. Here, you may be tempted to buy pottery typical of this part of the region.

Day 7: At Sea

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only), and a peaceful library.

Day 8: Arrecife, Spain

Arrecife is the diverse and interesting capital of Lanzarote. It has a striking golden sand beach sheltered by a reef and a great selection of bars and restaurants. Worth a visit is The Castillo de San Gabriel in the center, with its impressive drawbridge constructed in 1599 to help defend against pirate attacks. The gorgeous little La Recova market is tucked away, and there is a selection of artisan craft shops and a fresh food market on weekdays.

Day 9: Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario is the capital of Fuerteventura and is known for its whitewashed houses and open-air artworks, including giant snail sculptures along the harbor promenade. From here, you can easily explore the island's attractions, such as the Islote de Lobos Nature Reserve. For the energetic, windsurfing is a popular choice as Fuerteventura is one of the best places in the world to do sailing sports.

Day 10: Las Palmas

This 15th-century city with a semitropical colonial ambiance is a favorite stopping place for yachts crossing the Atlantic. Visit the Casa Colon, named for the great explorer, and explore your own by adventuring to the volcanic crater of Caldera de Bandama. Its lunar landscape and exotic vegetation take you to a new world.

Day 11: San Sebastian, La Gomera

If you enjoy hiking, then La Gomera is considered to be world-class. The island's 600 km of trails are well-defined and cover the entire island. The mysterious Garajonay National Park should not be missed with its unique laurel forests. If all that exercise works up a hunger, try the highly addictive Amogrote Cheese Paste. It is spread on bizcocho bread and is best enjoyed as an appetizer with a glass of wine.

Day 12-24: At Sea

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only), and a peaceful library.

Day 25: Philipsburg, St. Maarten | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
The smallest island in the world shared by two countries, St. Martin/St. Maarten is big on shopping. You're always welcome whether you go Dutch in Philipsburg or prefer Marigot's French touch.

Disembark after breakfast and continue your independent trip back home.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
