Day 1: Nice. France | Embark

Nice captivates with its blend of Mediterranean elegance and scenic beaches. Walk along the iconic Promenade des Anglais, wander through Vieux Nice’s vibrant streets and lively markets, and enjoy its rich culinary scene. With a pleasant climate all year round, this coastal city is an ideal destination where French sophistication meets stunning natural landscapes.

Day 2: Ajaccio | Corsica, France

Ajaccio, Corsica’s capital, sits on the island’s west coast and is a lively port city with a laid-back vibe. Famous as Napoleon Bonaparte’s birthplace, it boasts charming cobbled streets, a Mediterranean ambiance, and a deep cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy a blend of history, natural beauty, and local cuisine in this unique destination.

Day 3: Mahon, Menorca | Balearic Islands, Spain

Elegant Georgian buildings rise along the steep hills behind Moll Ponent. Mahón is also known for its historical contributions, including the creation of mayonnaise and the first distillation of gin from juniper berries.

Day 4: Ibiza | Balearic Islands, Spain

Ibiza, a Spanish island renowned for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, lively nightlife and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Ibiza offers unspoilt 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: At Sea

Each 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 revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.

Day 6: Motril, Spain

Motril, on Spain's southern coast, is a vibrant port city steeped in history, culture and Mediterranean charm. It is a popular seaside destination offering a unique combination of beautiful beaches, historic monuments and culinary delights. Motril is an excellent base for exploring the city of Granada, the villages of the Alpujarras or the rum distillery and tropical fruit plantation.

Day 7: Malaga, Spain

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 8: Puerto Banus (Marbella), Spain

Located on the Costa del Sol of southeast Spain, Puerto Banus is a beautiful Mediterranean playground of white-washed buildings and a marina filled with yachts. The marina was developed in 1970 and over the past four decades has become adored by jet-setters around the globe for its beauty and simplicity. Famous for its prominent visitors, nightlife and luxury boutiques, this 'Jewel of the Costa del Sol' is very much the place to see and be seen.

Day 9: Gibraltar, British Overseas Territory

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 and you can watch the famous monkeys of Gibraltar. A lesser known wildlife attraction are 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 10: Tangier, Morocco

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

Day 11: Cadiz, Spain

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

Day 12: Portimao, Portugal

Portimao is the largest city in the western Algarve, and was traditionally a centre for sardine fishing and processing. It makes a great base from which to explore the entire western Algarve. Two of the more popular trips are Lagos and Silves. Lagos was the centre for Portugal's 14th century age of exploration and Silves served as the Algarve region's ancient capital and so the tourist attractions here reflect its rich and extensive history.

Day 13: At Sea

Each 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, and a peaceful library.

Day 14: Lisbon, Portugal | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Spreading out along the right bank of the Tagus, its downtown, the Baixa, is located in the 18th-century area around Rossio. The Alfama, one of the oldest quarters in Lisboa, still retains much of its original layout since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755.
