Aboard Seabourn Sojourn with Seabourn
Cruise Overview
Perhaps the prettiest of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is an almost circular isle with the peak of Pozo de Las Nieves, its highest point, at the centre.
With a wealth of natural beauty and all the exciting attractions of city life in the capital, the island offers the best of both worlds.
You will no doubt wish to see the sights of the capital’s old quarter, which dates back to the 15th century and encompassses the Vegueta and Triana districts, and wherever you go you can enjoy the glorious subtropical climate, perfect for growing exotic palms and fruits.
A volcanic island designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Lanzarote’s dramatic landscapes were shaped by an explosive past.
Today, its pretty beaches and virtual absence of rain together with duty-free shopping make the island an extremely desirable destination.
The main port and capital, Arrecife, is a pleasant town with a modern seafront and colourful gardens.
Outside the capital there is plenty to explore, from the dazzling white salt flats of Janubio and the rugged terrain of Fire Mountain to the eerie caves of Los Verdes and an array of unspoilt fishing villages scattered around the coast.
The island is home to a great selection of restaurants and local specialities including garbanzos compuestos – a chickpea stew; papas arrugadas – potatoes with carrots, peas, ham and green pepper; and of course, plenty of fresh seafood.
Please note that those planning to participate in one of the shore excursions from this port may need to take an early lunch on board ship to suit the excursion schedules.
The original settlement formed on the site of Casablanca by the Berbers became the kingdom of Anfa, and during the 15th century harboured pirates who raided the Portuguese coast.
In retaliation for the attacks, the Portuguese destroyed Anfa and founded the town they called Casa Branca (white house).
They remained here until an earthquake in 1755 and the town was subsequently rebuilt by Mohammed ben Abdallah, whose legacy of mosques and houses can still be seen in the old Medina.
Casablanca acquired its present-day name when the Spanish obtained special port privileges in 1781.
The French landed here in 1907, later establishing a protectorate and modelling the town on the port of Marseilles.
Today Casablanca is Morocco’s largest city, its most significant port and the centre of commerce and industry.
The city is a vibrant fusion of European, African and Arabian influences and its French colonial architecture and art deco buildings seamlessly blend in with the busy, colourful markets.
Please note that vendors in the souks can be very persistent and eager to make a sale.
