Day 1: Malaga, Spain | Embark

Malaga's Alcazaba and Castillo de Gibralfaro showcase impressive Moorish architecture. However, Granada's Alhambra Palace is the most breathtaking and romantic example of the Arabesque style.

Day 2: Almeria, Spain

Almeria, the easternmost capital of Andalucia, lies at the base of a mountain range. Its standout landmark is the Alcazaba, a grand Arab fortress built by Caliph Abd al-Rahman of Cordoba. Featuring three vast walled enclosures, it includes remnants of a mosque later converted into a chapel by the Catholic Monarchs. Second only to Granada’s Alhambra, it is one of Andalucia’s largest and most significant Muslim fortresses.

Day 3: Cartagena, Spain

Cartagena is a historic port city steeped in rich history and fascinating culture. Nestling between the hills and the Mediterranean Sea, the city offers an enchanting mix of historic sites, including the Roman Theater, picturesque beaches, and a lively atmosphere.

Day 4: Ibiza, Balearic Islands

Ibiza is a Spanish island renowned for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, lively nightlife, and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Ibiza offers unspoiled natural landscapes, a rich cultural history, and delicious cuisine. Dalt Vila, the medieval quarter on the hill overlooking Ibiza town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow streets brimming with atmosphere.

Day 5: Mahon, Menorca

Gracious Georgian buildings that climb the steep hills backing the Moll Ponent. Mahon's heritage also includes the invention of mayonnaise and the first gin distillation from juniper berries.

Day 6: 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 and a peaceful library.

Day 7: Cagliari

Cagliari is the capital city of the Italian island of Sardinia. It's known for its hilltop Castello, a medieval walled quarter high above the rest of the town. It has a rich and varied heritage reflected in its buildings, including Baroque churches, Medieval towers, Italian Art Nouveau, and Roman stonework. Sardinia's fabled beaches are also accessible, and as you would expect, the restaurants in and around the town are excellent, too.

Day 8: 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 and a peaceful library.

Day 9: Gozo, Malta

The charm of Malta's sister island, Gozo, is immediately apparent. Steeped in myth, Gozo is considered the legendary Calypso's isle of Homer's Odyssey. It's green, rural, and calm, relying on fishing, agriculture, and tourism. It is one of the Mediterranean's top diving destinations, with an incredible range of shore and boat dives, including reefs, caves, and wrecks. There are also Knight's watchtowers, tiny chapels, and beautiful, peaceful beaches to explore.

Day 10: Valletta, Malta | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Valletta is the tiny capital of the island of Malta. The walled city was established in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. It has a rich historical past and is a European Art City and a World Heritage City. It has an abundance of museums, palaces, and grand churches to visit, but be sure not to miss out on exploring one of its beautiful gardens.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
