Best of Spain & Portugal Cruise
Overview
Uncover the riches of three vibrant cultures as you tour and cruise your way through Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Over 16 incredible days, you will be immersed in a world of avant-garde architecture, fine wine and exotic spices.
Begin your journey in dynamic Barcelona, where you can explore world-renowned art, the celebrated architecture of Antoni Gaudi and the bustling Las Ramblas promenade before settling into a chilled sangria at the end of the day. From here, you cruise west to Seville, the home of flamenco, and wander through its Moorish architecture and sample mouthwatering Andalusian tapas.
In the stunning Portuguese capital of Lisbon, catch a trolley ride to the heart of town to find yourself surrounded by the neoclassical architecture and open spaces of its grand plazas. Wander down cobblestone side streets towards the sophisticated shopping district of Chiado and dine among locals in one of the many restaurants that pour out into alleyways. North, in the romantic coastal city of Porto, tour the sky-high bell towers and soak up the silent beauty inside its opulent baroque churches. If culinary pleasures are more your thing, head south of the river to Vila Nova de Gaia, where you can visit the city’s best port houses and try delicious fortified wines among the wooden barrels and stone cellars.
Known as the “Door to Africa,” Tangier has long held a romantic lure for artists and travellers alike. From the colours and noise of the labyrinthine medina district to peaceful tours of well-preserved mosques and museums, Tangier is a city like no other. Be sure to sample the local fare, perhaps even dropping into Populaire Saveur de Poisson, a seafood lover’s rustic haven made popular worldwide by Anthony Bourdain.
