Itinerary
- Day 1 – Southampton (for London), England (depart 04:00 PM):
The south of England boasts a dramatic coastline that encloses some of the most beautiful countryside in Britain. The landscape of hills and heaths, downs and forests, valleys and dales, is without rival. Southampton serves as your gateway to the countryside – and to a wide variety of historic sites, national landmarks and charming. And of course, London is a two-hour drive by modern highway. The United Kingdom’s premier passenger ship port, Southampton was home for many years to the great transatlantic liners of yesteryear. - Day 2 – Cherbourg, France (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
Perched at the crossroads of France and Great Britain, it’s no surprise that this piece of real estate was a prize among its many conquerors. Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans all fought over this strategic port on the English Channel. Cherbourg’s port was once again the center of conflict when German forces captured it during World War II. Liberated by American forces in 1944, Cherbourg serves as your gateway to the historic Normandy landings of D-Day. And there’s more to explore-medieval villages, a rugged countryside, charming city sights and castles and churches are all reminders that Cherbourg is a fascinating city worth discovering. - Day 3 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 4 – Bilbao, Spain (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
Bilbao used to be off the beaten track, but Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum literally put Bilbao on the map. The city offers impressive, 19th-century buildings and bridges and is the gateway to the Basque country.Perched on the hills above the rust-colored waters of the Nervion River, Bilbao is a thriving port and the commercial heart of Spain’s Basque country. The city dates back to the Middle Ages – it was granted city status by Don Diego Lopez de Haro, Lord of Biscay, in 1300 – but it was the 19th century and the Industrial Revolution that cemented Bilbao’s economic status. Among the city’s charms are the jumble of bars and restaurants found in Siete Calles, the city’s old quarter. The Gran Via and the Alameda Mazarredo are graceful, wide 19th-century boulevards. And while the port still bustles with maritime traffic, the undulating lines of Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum attest to Bilbao’s cultural vitality in the 21st century. - Day 5 – EC (arrive 06:00 PM, depart 10:00 PM)
- Day 6 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 7 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 8 – Malaga, Spain (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 06:00 PM):
One of Spain’s oldest cities, Malaga has been inhabited since the time of the Phoenicians, who called it Malaka. A city of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, churches and sunny plazas, Malaga offers an idealized image of Spain. Malaga was the chief port for the Kingdom of Granada, the last stronghold of Moorish Spain. The city fell to Ferdinand and Isabelle in 1487. The re-conquest of Spain ended with the fall of Grenada in 1492, the year Columbus discovered the New World. In addition to the fabled Alhambra, Granada boasts some significant landmarks such as the Old Quarter, the majestic Granada Cathedral, Alcazaba – an ancient Moorish fortress nestled above the city, and the Royal Chapel – the final resting place of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Andalusia’s main port is also your gateway to the resorts of the Costa del Sol. - Day 9 – CA (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 04:00 PM)
- Day 10 – Gibraltar (arrive 07:00 AM, depart 03:00 PM):
The Rock crouches over the sea like an ancient stone beast, looking Sphinx-like to Africa. Beneath the white cliffs of this natural fortress grows a profusion of palm, pine, and cypress. No fewer than 600 varieties of flowers thrive here, some not found anywhere else on Earth. Gibraltar’s stunning setting is matched by its history – five countries have battled for 13 centuries to control the passage between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The result made for a cultural melting pot. Veiled Moroccan women in caftans and vacationing Englishmen and Spaniards stroll along the narrow, steep lanes. The locals revert to a liquid Spanish when talking among themselves. And visitors to a 15th-century cathedral pass through a blue-tiled courtyard, once part of a 13th-century mosque.Helmeted bobbies, pillar-boxes and pubs make for a bit of Britain in the Mediterranean. Gibraltar is a fascinating place, from its caves and batteries to the Barbary apes gamboling on the slopes of the Rock. - Day 11 – Lisbon, Portugal (arrive 10:00 AM, depart 09:00 PM):
Draped across seven hills, Lisbon was once the center of a vast maritime empire that stretched from the west coast of Africa to the Spice Islands of the East Indies. Then, on November 1, 1755, a violent earthquake destroyed two-thirds of the city in the space of 10 minutes. Only the Alfama, the old Moorish quarter, survived. Today, Lisbon is a stately city of Neoclassical buildings and wide plazas. - Day 12 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 13 – La Coruna, Spain (for Santiagode Compostela) (arrive 08:00 AM, depart 05:00 PM)
- Day 14 – At Sea:
Enjoy a relaxing day at sea with all the experiences and amenities of your ship. - Day 15 – Southampton (for London), England (arrive 07:00 AM):
