Secrets of the Iberian Peninsula
8 nights
Le Boréal
24 Aug '27Cruise overview
From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, discover the striking contrasts of the Iberian shores. In the Algarve, ochre cliffs and secret beaches open onto an ocean of light, announcing Andalusia, nestled along the appropriately named Costa de la Luz. Here, flamenco bars, colourful little streets and medieval architecture all reveal the region’s lively soul. You will now sail along the Spanish coastlines, discovering remarkable lifestyle and heritage. From the province of Valencia to Catalonia, the architectural heritage, in turn Roman, medieval or modern, acts as a link between the ages. Then the Balearic Islands, with their turquoise coves and a gentle way of life, a perfect conclusion to this Iberian break, before reaching Barcelona.
Itinerary
Lisbon
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.
