    Monument to the Discoveries in Lisbon

    Portugal • 21 February • 08:00–18:00

    Lisbon,
    made for wandering

    Seven hills, tiled façades and broad river views give Lisbon an energy all of its own. Follow elegant squares towards the Tagus, lose yourself in characterful streets or head west towards Belém’s great monuments.

    Belém • Historic trams • Alfama • Tagus waterfront

    Port wine barrels near Leixoes and Porto

    Portugal • 20 February

    Leixões & Porto

    Leixões is the gateway to Porto: a city of steep riverside streets, tiled churches, iron bridges and port-wine traditions beside the Douro.

    Algarve coastline near Portimao

    Portugal • 22 February

    Portimão

    The Algarve opens out around Portimão, where a maritime old town meets the ochre cliffs and wide sands of Praia da Rocha.

    Flower-filled whitewashed street in Cadiz

    Spain • 23 February

    Cádiz

    Almost surrounded by sea, Cádiz rewards an unhurried stroll through flower-filled lanes, lively plazas and waterfront promenades.

    The Rock of Gibraltar rising through sea mist

    Gibraltar • 24 February

    The Rock

    A landmark at the meeting point of seas and continents, Gibraltar combines dramatic views, military history and a wonderfully singular sense of place.

    Sunny waterfront overlooking the Ria de Vigo

    Spain • 26 February

    Vigo

    Galicia’s great Atlantic harbour brings together an atmospheric old quarter, wide views across the ría and seafood fresh from the water.

    A different view each morning

    Six ports.
    Nothing repetitive.

    From port wine and Portuguese tilework to Andalusian colour, the Rock and Galicia’s green-edged coast, every call earns its place.

    Life on board

    Sea days are part of the holiday

    The first two days invite you to settle in properly. Later sea days give you room to slow the pace again—revisit a favourite lounge, linger over lunch or simply watch the Atlantic move past.

    Dining

    Full-board favourites and relaxed places to eat.

    Entertainment

    Live shows, guest speakers and sociable evenings.

    Open decks

    Fresh air, sea views and space to switch off.

    Your own pace

    Fill the day or do very little. Both work beautifully.

    An Atlantic escape
