Cruise Overview

Set on seven hills on the banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon has been the capital of Portugal since the 13th century.

It is a city famous for its majestic architecture, old wooden trams, Moorish features and more than twenty centuries of history.

Following disastrous earthquakes in the 18th century, Lisbon was rebuilt by the Marques de Pombal who created an elegant city with wide boulevards and a great riverfront and square, Praça do Comércio.

Today there are distinct modern and ancient sections, combining great shopping with culture and sightseeing in the Old Town, built on the city's terraced hillsides.

The distance between the ship and your tour vehicle may vary.

This distance is not included in the excursion grades.
Believed to be the oldest town on the Iberian Peninsula, the Andalusian port of Cádiz enjoys a stunning location at the edge of a six-mile promontory.

The town itself, with 3,000 years of history, is characterised by pretty white houses with balconies often adorned with colourful flowers.

As you wander around be sure to take a stroll through the sizeable Plaza de Espãna, with its large monument dedicated to the first Spanish constitution, which was signed here in 1812.

Cádiz has two pleasant seafront promenades which boast fine views of the Atlantic Ocean, and has a lovely park, the Parque Genoves, located close to the sea with an open-air theatre and attractive palm garden.

Also notable is the neo-Classical cathedral, capped by a golden dome.
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.
