Port Information
Discover the rich culture and natural beauty of Barcelona. Embark on a scenic journey through Lisbon, followed by a funicular ride to Bairro Alto where you'll enjoy drinks and a traditional Fado performance. Feel centuries of Moroccan history and rich culture come to life, as you discover the city of Tangier.
Lisbon, Portugal
See why this city stands out above all others as you stroll along elaborate mosaic sidewalks and pass by the Monument to the Discoveries. A quick trolley ride transports you to the cobblestone district of Baixa. Or be lured away and pampered in the resort cities of Cascais and Estoril.
Tangier, Morocco
From tea and spice markets to Moroccan haute cuisine, caves, museums, and preserved fortresses from centuries past, Tangiers has a great deal to offer. A cruise to Tangier is a great way to discover a cultural history unique to Morocco and much of the region.
Barcelona, Spain
Formerly a sleepy Spanish city, Barcelona has recently been reborn as an eclectic fusion of the modern and medieval. This coastal city exudes European charm and welcomes multitudes of travelers every year.
