Day 1 to day 15

Portsmouth United Kingdom

3 Days Sailing

Some of the best moments of cruising are the days spent at sea where you can relax and enjoy the wonderful programme of events and activities we have planned for you.

Nov 16 - 17 Arrival: early morning - Departure: early afternoon Gibraltar

Gibraltar Nestled between Europe and Africa, iconic Gibraltar makes for a fascinating visit with its traditionally British red pillar boxes, fish and chip shops, and even Marks & Spencer, but with a delightful blend of Spanish and Mediterranean influences. As you arrive, you can watch the sunrise off the coast, and after wandering through the town and indulging in duty-free shopping at Main Street, you are perfectly placed to take the cable car to the top of the Rock for unrivalled views across to Africa, Spain and over the Straits of Gibraltar, and to meet the famously mischievous Barbary macaques, Europe’s only wild monkey population. There will be opportunities to sample local dishes like calentita (chickpea flour bread) and rosto (a delicious meat and tomato pasta). You may also wish to discover the network of tunnels within the Rock, which played a strategic role in World War II. Overnight port

Nov 18 - 19 Arrival: early morning - Departure: early afternoon Cartagena Spain

Cartagena is often seen as one of Spain’s less well-known cities, but take a wander through its ancient streets, and you’ll discover the carefully restored Roman Amphitheatre, which once held 6,000 spectators. There will also be opportunities to marvel at modernist Art Nouveau buildings, and take the panoramic lift to the top of Concepcion Castle for remarkable views across the surrounding harbour. Immerse yourself in local life by enjoying the distinctly Spanish citrus flavours of Licor 43, or coffee-based Asiatico, made with brandy and condensed milk. Overnight port

Nov 20 - 21 Arrival: early afternoon - Departure: late afternoon Cádiz Spain

One of Europe’s oldest cities, Cadiz is well-known for the golden dome atop the cathedral, which gleams in the November sunshine. You will be perfectly placed to wander through the narrow streets of the old town or ascend the 173 steps of the former watchtower, Torre Tavira, for outstanding views across the city. There will be opportunities for you to witness a traditional Flamenco show in its place of origin and dine at authentic tapas bars, offering delectable small plates like fried anchovies, garlic prawns, and shrimp fritters, accompanied by local wines or the famously sweet and nutty-tasting Jerez sherry. Overnight port

Nov 22 - 23 Arrival: early morning - Departure: late afternoon Lisbon Portugal

Lisbon Historical City Panorama, Alfama architecture Visiting Lisbon in November allows for opportunities to explore at a slower pace, including marvelling at views across the city from the many miradouros (viewpoints). You will also be ideally placed for wandering along the labyrinth of cobblestoned streets of Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest district, which offers a captivating journey through the city, from the grandeur of São Jorge Castle to the stirring rhythms of Fado music. There will also be opportunities to try local dishes like grilled sardines or the deliciously crumbly Pastéis de Nata custard tart with a crisp glass of Vinho Verde wine, ride through the city on a vintage tram, and visit the nearby fairytale-like town of Sintra, set against the backdrop of rolling hills. Overnight port
