A prized location with one of the world’s greatest natural harbors at its doorstep and surrounded by rich mineral deposits, Cartagena surprises, and delights. Once inhabited by the Romans, Cartagena is recognized for the wealth of ancient sites in and around the city. Roman murals and mosaics adorn historical villas while late 19th-century architecture complements the picturesque Mediterranean coast. Today, choose one of our Scenic Freechoice activities or join a more active Scenic Discovery excursion.
Explore the city of Málaga on Spain’s Costa del Sol, with more than 3,000 years of history, this 15th-century merchants' center is today a vibrant cosmopolitan city. Visitors flock to the region for its sunshine, and artistic roots. The city is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and proudly pays homage to the virtuoso with a dedicated museum. Uncover gastronomic delights such as “tinto de verano”, iced summer wine and amble the streets filled with architectural delights from colorful baroque designs to historic Roman theatre.
Puerto Banús sets the standard in exclusivity and is known for luxurious cars, expensive shops, and impressive yachts – where Scenic Eclipse II will feel right at home. This small town was developed in the 1970s to be the perfect combination of Andalusian culture, reflecting the fishing ports of the area, as well as a luxurious port town with sophistication and elegance. Set against a backdrop of immense mountains, wind your way through the town’s narrow streets lined with flower boxes. With a late-night departure, enjoy the opportunity to experience Puerto Banús by both day and night.
On the shores of the Guadalquivir River is Seville, the elegant capital of Andalusia. Seville is an architect's dream with historic styles ranging from the Gothic design of Cathedral de Santa María de la Sede to the Baroque style Iglesia Colegial del Salvador. Aside from architectural wonders, uncover culinary delights like Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, an Iberian acorn-fed ham, and specialty for the region. Docking right in the heart of the city simply steps off Scenic Eclipse II to start your own discovery.
On the western Algarve, Portimão is a small port with a bustling historic center. Once a well-known fishing port, now transformed into a breath-taking promenade with shops selling traditional lace, ceramics, and leather goods, and fantastic restaurants. Portimão is much loved for the steep limestone cliffs that surround its sandy beach of Praia da Rocha. Architectural masterpieces from the 19th and 20th centuries seamlessly blend with colorful contemporary structures creating the Portimão we know today.
Discover the unique historic treasures of Porto. Located on the Douro river estuary, this metropolis shares its name with one of Portugal’s best-known exports, Port wine. Known as the commercial centre of northern Portugal, it is a city of baroque splendour. Explore this colorful city boasting houses decorated in Portuguese tiles, Gothic cathedrals, fado restaurants, and amazing food. Stroll through the winding alleys, see the public street art, greet the friendly locals, hear the rickety tram, and feel the breeze of the Atlantic.
Arrive at Ceis Islands. A national marine-terrestrial park and some of the most beautiful islands in Europe, you will soon see why the Romans named them ‘Islands of the Gods’. Surrounded by crystalline waters, these islands have no cars or hotels, which makes Scenic Eclipse II the perfect way to visit. Watch the waves crash upon the shore, explore one of the many hiking trails, or relax and bird watch.
Acquaint yourself with the exceptional range of facilities onboard your ultra-luxurious Discovery Yacht. Choose a class in one of the fitness spaces or relax in one of the therapy lounges in the Spa Sanctuary. Tempt your palate at one of the exceptional dining venues or taste our curated range of exquisite wines.
One of France’s most beautiful islands, Belle-Île boasts lush countryside, jagged rocky coastlines, quaint seaside hamlets and pastel-colored homes. It is a mythical destination that has inspired many, including sailors, authors, and painters. This pristine location can only be accessed by boat, which means that mainstream tourists are few and far between. Explore the island's rich history and gain a new appreciation of its natural beauty.
St. Mary’s hosts the Isles of Scilly’s largest island (population 1,800) and is the gateway to the rest of the islands. Lying just under 50 kilometers (30 miles) off the coast of England, the Isles of Scilly are home to rich wildlife covered in green pastures sloping to shimmering white beaches. Hugh Town is the central hub of St Mary’s and with its picturesque beaches, charming shops, winding countryside pathways, and coastal wonders, there’s always something new to experience.
This Georgian harbor town is home to one of the world’s longest-running sailing regattas. A waterfront lined with vintage sailing boats; the peaceful Isle of Wight is the former residence of the British royal family. Stroll through the vibrant town, composed of independent boutique shops, explore the beaches, or maybe partake in some water sports. Take a stroll around its towering chalk cliffs, golden sandy beaches, rolling rural vistas, and lush marshland, and you will soon see why Queen Victoria says that is ‘impossible to find a prettier spot’ than at Cowes.
This artificial harbor reopened to sea traffic in 1957, after ships were purposefully sunk to prevent the port from being used during the World Wars. Connected to Bruges, this World Heritage-listed city is a fairy tale town with cobblestone streets, picturesque canals linking squares adorned with soaring spires, churches, monasteries, and medieval buildings. Zeebrugge is the gateway to Flanders, which is brimming with quaint medieval squares, tree-lined canals, gorgeous architectural facades, and world-class museums. The region is also home to the Flanders Fields, the scene of the First World War for four long years.
Spend the day and night exploring the intricate canals and narrow lanes of Amsterdam before boarding Scenic Eclipse II for its late-night departure. Uncover hidden gems while exploring the canal woven core, from tiny gardens and boutique Dutch homewares to ultra-niche restaurants. Make sure you watch out for the tens of thousands of bikes rolling by. Being one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, it is the way of life for the locals. This popular city is filled with art and history, and the perfect place to experience the true Dutch quality of gezellig, translating roughly to 'convivial' or 'cozy'
Famous for its abundant birdlife, miles of relaxing beaches, and one of Norway’s oldest churches, Farsund, located in southern Norway, is also known for its exciting pirate history dating back to the 1800s. Spend the day exploring the many well-kept hiking trails, or learning about the history and the role the region played in World Word II.

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!

Our six-day tour in Iceland went smoothly with one exception. We had asked for two rooms each night. Somehow we were booked with one room with three beds. It could not be fixed at the first hotel in Reykjavik because the hotel was fully booked. Once informed of the problem, however, Adventure Life rebooked for two rooms for the remainder of the trip. As an 85-year-old traveler, I appreciated that one could participate at different physical levels at many of the stops. Iceland is a great place to visit but on the expensive side.

Kassandra and the Adventure Life team have been incredible! Kassandra was very knowledgeable and attentive to our asks while making sure we kept within our budget. This was our first experience with a travel agent and we were blown away by the booking/initial exploration service. We will use Adventure Life again.

We had an absolutely wonderful Seychelles cruise experience. I can’t imagine having seen all the beautiful islands we saw any other way. The entire Variety cruise staff was so friendly, attentive and professional. And all the meals were amazing. I highly recommend this cruise.
