Star Collector: Morocco, Madeira & the Canary Islands
20 nights
Wind Spirit
30 Oct '27Cruise overview
Travel from Iberia’s southern shores to Morocco’s medinas and onward to Atlantic islands seldom reached on a single itinerary. An overnight stay in Málaga provide time for Andalusian art and villages, followed by Tangier’s kasbah lanes and another overnight in Marrakesh for souks, gardens, and Berber flavors. Cross to Madeira for an overnight in Funchal, where levada walks, wine tastings, and hillside viewpoints reveal another side of the Atlantic world. Continue to Porto Santo, La Palma, and El Hierro—each offering landscapes that range from volcanic vineyards to forested trails. This extended voyage rewards travelers who value immersive days ashore.
Itinerary
Málaga
As you sail into Malaga you will notice what an idyllic setting the city enjoys on the famous Costa del Sol. To the east of this provincial capital, the coast along the region of La Axarqua is scattered with villages, farmland and sleepy fishing hamlets – the epitome of traditional rural Spain. To the west stretches a continuous city where the razzmatazz and bustle creates a colourful contrast that is easily recognisable as the Costa del Sol. Surrounding the region, the Penibéetica Mountains provide an attractive backdrop overlooking the lower terraced slopes which yield olives and almonds. This spectacular mountain chain shelters the province from cold northerly winds, giving it a reputation as a therapeutic and exotic place in which to escape from cold northern climes. Malaga is also the gateway to many of Andalusia’s enchanting historic villages, towns and cities.
