Day 1
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a Mediterranean port city built on Roman foundations, with Gothic lanes and striking modernist architecture. La Rambla runs from Plaça de Catalunya towards the waterfront and the old town. Gaudí’s Sagrada Família and Park Güell show the city at its most distinctive. Set aside time for a market lunch and a walk through El Born, where medieval streets meet lively cafés. Barcelona’s beaches offer a welcome pause between visits.
-
Day 2
Marseille, France
Marseille is France’s oldest city, founded by Greek settlers around 600 BC, and it still faces the Mediterranean with confidence. Begin at the Vieux-Port, where fishing boats share the waterfront with cafés and ferries bound for nearby islands. Climb to Notre-Dame de la Garde for sweeping views, or explore Le Panier’s narrow lanes and lively squares. The Calanques’ limestone coves lie beyond the city; local markets bring Provençal flavors closer.
-
Day 3
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Palma rewards an unhurried first walk. From the waterfront, the Gothic towers of La Seu rise above the old city, a landmark shaped over centuries. Inside, soaring columns and Antoni Gaudí’s modernist contributions add a striking note. Beyond the cathedral, lanes lead to shaded courtyards, shops and cafés serving local ensaimada. For a wider view, take a taxi to Bellver Castle, whose circular form overlooks the bay.
-
Day 4
Cartagena Spain, Spain
Cartagena rewards visitors who look beyond its busy harbor. Founded by the Carthaginians in 227 BC, this compact port city carries layers of Roman, military, and maritime history. Follow the waterfront to the Roman Theatre, uncovered in 1988 and now paired with a museum. Explore the old quarter’s elegant Modernista buildings and naval landmarks. Cartagena is easy to navigate, yet rich enough to hold your attention all day.
-
Day 5
Motril, Spain
Motril is a working port on Granada’s Mediterranean coast, backed by the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It puts the Alhambra and historic centre of Granada within reach, as well as the white villages of the Alpujarras. In town, explore Motril’s sugar-cane legacy, browse local produce, and sample seafood from the Costa Tropical. For a slower day, beaches and palm-lined promenades keep the coast close.
-
Day 6
Cadiz, Spain
Cádiz is one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, set on a narrow peninsula where Atlantic light reaches every street. Its compact old quarter is made for unhurried exploration, with watchtowers, shaded plazas and the cathedral’s golden dome. At the Mercado Central, fishmongers display the day’s catch; nearby taverns serve fino sherry and local seafood. Beyond the walls, La Caleta beach and the seafront promenade offer a bracing taste of Cádiz’s maritime life.
-
Day 7
Tangier, Morocco
Tangier faces Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Walk its medina’s steep lanes past whitewashed houses and shops selling leather, ceramics, and spices. At the Kasbah, find sea views and the former sultan’s palace, now a museum. Beyond the old walls, cafés and boulevards recall the city’s international past. Visit the American Legation, the first U.S. diplomatic property abroad. Or drive to Cap Spartel, where Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet.
-
Day 9
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria pairs a working Atlantic port with one of Spain’s finest urban beaches. Explore Vegueta’s cobbled lanes, cathedral and Casa de Colón, a museum linked to Columbus’s voyages. The seafront promenade invites an easy stroll beside Las Canteras’ broad sands and sheltered waters. Local seafood and Canarian wines reward a longer pause before you return to the ship.
-
Day 17
Port Canaveral, USA
Cape Canaveral pairs Florida’s Atlantic coast with the drama of American spaceflight. Visit Kennedy Space Center for rockets, launch pads and mission stories that bring exploration within reach. Closer to shore, Cocoa Beach offers miles of sand, surf shops and a relaxed Florida rhythm. Nature lovers can seek manatees, migratory birds and quiet beaches at nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Choose your day: a close encounter with the space age, or Atlantic air and open water.
