Depart your home city for Lisbon, Portugal.
Arrive in Lisbon and embark the deluxe World Voyager.
Enjoy a morning of cruising before arriving in Portimão. After lunch on board, you will disembark the ship for your afternoon excursion to Lagos.

Once a significant ancient maritime port and the capital of Algarve from 1577 to 1756, Logos’ origins date back to at least 2000 B.C., with early settlements by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans before it became an important Moorish town in the 8th century and was later reconquered by the Portuguese in 1249. During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Logos served as a key departure point for explorers, including Prince Henry the Navigator’s expeditions along the West African coast. The town thrived on maritime trade and shipbuilding and, later, the transatlantic slave trade, as Lagos housed Europe’s first slave market in 1444.

Today, take a guided tour of this historical coastal town known for its dramatic cliffs, stunning beaches and rich maritime heritage. You’ll see the statue of Infante Dom Henrique — a monument to Prince Henry the Navigator — and the intricately carved Church of San Antonio. Built in 1707 and rebuilt after an earthquake in 1755, the church is a fine example of baroque architecture. You will also learn about the history of slavery in Lagos during the 15th century and see the historical Mercado de Escravos building, the site of Europe’s first slave market, in 1444. (Mild)

Return to the ship to relax and refresh.

Meet and mingle with your fellow travelers at the Captain’s Welcome Reception this evening, followed by a dinner aboard the ship.
Spend a relaxing day cruising at sea and by river today as the ship cruises along the Algarve coast to the Guadalquivir River for Seville, Spain. Take advantage of the ship’s amenities and attend lectures offered on board today.

Be sure to spend some time on deck to witness the breathtaking coastal scenery and tranquil river landscapes as you cruise through Portugal and Spain. View stunning rock formations, hidden caves, and picturesque fishing villages on the Guadalquivir River. Pass by lush countryside, rolling vineyards and charming Andalusian villages dotted with olive groves, orange orchards and whitewashed towns.
Nestled along the banks of the Guadalquivir River in the heart of Andalusia, Seville is a city of vibrant culture, rich history and breathtaking architecture. Famous for its Moorish, Gothic and baroque influences, Seville’s streets are lined with orange trees, charming plazas and lively tapas bars. Andalusia is the birthplace of flamenco, and Seville’s atmospheric neighborhoods, like Triana and Santa Cruz, echo with the passionate rhythms of guitar and dance. By day, the city dazzles with its historical grandeur, and by night, it comes alive with bustling cafés, music and a warm Andalusian spirit.

In this culturally rich Andalusian city, stroll through the iconic Plaza de España, with its grand semi-circular design and colorful ceramic tiles that capture the essence of Spanish artistry. During your guided walk, you’ll see Seville’s top highlights, including the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage-listed Catedral de Sevilla, better known as the Seville Cathedral. The enormous Gothic cathedral was built on the site of a former Moorish mosque; its construction began in 1401 and took over a century to complete. It is home to Christopher Columbus’ tomb and famous for the Giralda, a former minaret converted into the cathedral’s bell tower. The cathedral’s blend of Moorish, Gothic, Renaissance and baroque influences reflects Seville’s diverse history and cultural heritage.

You’ll also see the UNESCO World Heritage-inscribed Alcázar of Seville, a stunning palace featuring intricate Mudejar designs and lush gardens. Originally built as a Moorish fortress in the 10th century, it was later expanded by Christian rulers, becoming one of the most stunning royal palaces in Europe. The enchanting gardens, filled with fountains, palm trees and fragrant orange blossoms, create a serene escape within the palace walls. The Alcázar, still a functioning royal residence, is a true masterpiece of Spanish history and culture, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of past civilizations. (Moderate)

You will have the option of returning to the ship for lunch or remaining in town for lunch on your own, giving you more time to explore Seville.
We will arrive in Gibraltar mid-morning today. After lunch on board, disembark the ship for your excursion to visit the legendary Rock of Gibraltar.

Take a scenic drive along the picturesque coast, admiring the panoramic views of the shimmering waters with glimpses of sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, as you head toward Gibraltar's southernmost point. You’ll arrive at the Trinity Run Lighthouse, located near the Gulf of Cadiz, and walk up a short, steep section of road to reach the summit of the Rock of Gibraltar, known as the “Top of the Rock.” From atop the towering limestone formation, you’ll witness stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area and also see the two Pillars of Hercules, two ancient landmarks that were once believed to mark the edge of the known world in classical antiquity. Together, these two pillars stood at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean.

Continue your drive, entering the upper rock nature reserve and passing the Queen's Balcony viewpoint to arrive at the nearby St. Michael's Cave. After walking about 100 yards up the road, you’ll enter this fascinating natural limestone cave to marvel at the dramatic display of stalactites and stalagmites. Next, as you head further along the upper rock, you will be delighted by the world-famous Barbary Apes, a species of Barbary macaques. Observe the playful, curious creatures who roam freely around the Rock of Gibraltar and are Europe’s only wild monkeys.

Conclude your enriching day with a visit to the Siege Tunnels, which were carved into the Rock during the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779-1783) to house artillery and protect the garrison from attacks. You’ll descend a long sloping walkway to explore the underground fortifications, view historic military artifacts, and learn about Gibraltar's strategic importance during the siege. On your return to the ship, you’ll drive past the walls of the city. (Active)

Relax after your exciting afternoon and enjoy dinner on board this evening.
This ship arrives in Málaga this morning. After an early breakfast, disembark the ship for your full-day excursion to Grenada.

Generalife Gardens at Alhambra Palace. Settle in for a panoramic drive by motor coach headed toward Granada and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Alhambra and gardens of the Generalife. Arrive in Granada and enjoy lunch together at the Parador de Granada. Then, take a short walk to the Nazari Palaces and begin your tour of the Generalife, a tranquil and beautiful part of the Alhambra complex known for its lush gardens, fountains and reflecting pools. The gardens are arranged in a series of terraces, featuring a mix of flowerbeds, cypress trees, and fruit orchards, creating a peaceful oasis. The Court of the Sultana and the Patio of the Irrigation Ditch are among the most notable areas, showcasing the harmony between architecture and nature.

Return to the ship later this afternoon and relish dinner this evening as we cruise for Tangier, Morocco.
Enjoy breakfast on board this morning as the ship arrives in the ancient port city of Tangier, where you will disembark the ship for a day of discovery. After its origins as a Phoenician trading post and five centuries under Roman rule, Tangier fell to the Vandals and ultimately became part of the Byzantine empire — origins that created a vibrant ancient metropolis at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The North African city was then conquered and claimed multiple times in the centuries that followed, by Spain, Portugal and Morocco. By the early 20th century, Tangier caught the attention of renowned artists like Matisse and Eugène Delacroix, establishing a new age of cosmopolitan creativity.

Today, a national guide will lead you on a discovery of Tangier’s labyrinthine old medina, its legendary souks and the fascinating history of this ancient walled city. You’ll interact with vendors and hear captivating stories as you marvel at the of local wares. See weavers and artisans creating their crafts by hand in the souks and learn more about the flavors of Moroccan cuisine. Walk through the narrow alleys of Petit Socco, where produce vendors, butchers and flower sellers set up stalls and pass by the historic American Legation, the official diplomatic mission of the United States in Morocco from 1821 to 1961. You’ll also visit the hidden gem, Niaba Gardens, a lush green space nestled within the vibrant bustling city. Meander along winding paths to appreciate this serene oasis of vibrant floral displays, towering palm and cypress trees, ornate fountains and views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea beyond.

Take a break to relax over lunch together at a local restaurant.

Make the most of time on your own after lunch. Head back to the souks to peruse, shop and immerse yourself in Tangier’s daily life and culture. Return to the ship later this afternoon.

Join your fellow passengers for a Captain’s Farewell Reception, followed by dinner aboard the ship tonight.
We arrive in Casablanca early this morning. After breakfast, disembark the ship and set out for Rabat and today’s excursions.

On your way to Rabat, you will visit Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque, dramatically situated on a promontory overlooking the ocean. Admire its intricate marble flooring and Moroccan details, including gilded cedar ceilings. One of the largest mosques in Africa, it is one of only two that is open to non-Muslim visitors. Conservative attire will be required, and you will be asked to remove your shoes upon entrance.

Continue driving to Rabat, where you’ll enjoy lunch at an authentic local restaurant upon arrival.

More reserved than bustling Marrakech and Casablanca, the ancient city of Rabat has been the capital since 1956 and is the official royal residence of King Mohammed VI. UNESCO inscribed “Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City: a Shared Heritage,” a World Heritage site in 2012. You’ll begin your Rabat tour with a panoramic drive past King Mohamed VI’s Royal Palace Grounds, the Parliament building in the heart of Rabat, the towering, Moorish-style Hechella ancient fortress and the contemporary architectural marvel that is the New Opera House.

Then, begin a walking tour to see the outside of the Hassan Tower, an iconic, unfinished minaret standing tall at 44 meters, originally part of a grand mosque built in the 12th century by Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour. Its red sandstone structure is an architectural marvel, with intricate carvings and a commanding view over the surrounding area. Next, enjoy an inside visit to the Mohamed V Mausoleum, a beautifully ornate site dedicated to Morocco's revered King Mohammed V and his two sons. The mausoleum’s striking white marble exterior, adorned with intricate Islamic designs, and the surrounding green gardens create a serene and respectful atmosphere, making it a significant symbol of Morocco’s royal heritage.

Return to the ship and enjoy your final dinner on board. The ship docks overnight in Casablanca.
Following breakfast, disembark and transfer to the airport for your return flight home.
