As you cruise the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Island of Mallorca captures the cosmopolitan yet relaxing atmosphere of the Mediterranean. Mallorca's picturesque old town and architectural mix of Arab, Catalan and Art Nouveau elements are part of its success story. Shops behind splendid facades, cafés and bars set on beautiful squares and the sophisticated marina find the dignified cathedral, affectionately known as "La Seu" for short. With pure Gothic beginnings, none other than Antonio Gaudi created part of its interior at the start of the 20th century. In addition to the sites of Mallorca, your cruise will explore other top Mediterranean destinations, like the Balearic Islands, ancient cities of the Spanish coast, Portugal, Corsica, the French Riviera, and even Italy. Start planning today!
Highlights of the Balearic Islands The Balearic Islands are a Mediterranean paradise, and Palma de Mallorca highlights the culture and atmosphere of these islands. You will have the opportunity to:
Visit Valldemossa: a typical village nestled in a valley of the northern mountain range.
Hike and bike through the scenic backdrops of traditional towns and rolling valleys.
Tour the Gothic Bellver Castle.
Explore Spain's second-largest cathedral, La Seu, where you can admire the Portal del Mirador, one of the finest examples of Gothic portals decorated with Guillermo Sagrera sculptures. You'll also see the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, where James II and James III lie.
The holiday of a lifetime. The company is Alaksa-owned and thhat makes a big difference to the experineces you get i.e. meet genuine First Nations tribes people. The amount of wildlife was beyond my expectation, and seeing everything on sucha small, intimate boat made it even more spoecial and unique.

It was an outstanding, up-close, educational vacation of nature, culture, history, animals and geology! It was everything they promised! Binoculars were plentiful on the boat, but I'm glad I brought my own. Food was excellent. Rooms had black-out shades. Pack/wear multiple layers of clothing (I carried a small backpack when off the ship). Crew were delightful and very accommodating! Remember to jump FEET FIRST first when taking the optional polar plunge! Spend as much time outdoors as you are able and ENJOY!!!

Excellent travel advice and service
This is my second experience working with Adventure Life. I’m sold. Jess Heuermann is an experienced traveler and provides a lot of useful information when planning a trip. These are the questions I like to ask at the outset - What’s it like to go here, there, what would you suggest, what do people report, can we add any additional side trips? Jess took the time to answer my questions and seek additional information to share with me. Petchie Colina is outstanding in helping with travel logistics and final preparations. Adventure Life has excellent guides and offers private guides and small group adventures. We enjoyed the opportunity to talk with the guides and drivers to learn more about their countries, cultures and histories. A highlight was having the guides pick local restaurants where we could share meals together. Highly recommend.

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.
