  1. Day 1

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Lisbon is a city best approached with time and comfortable shoes. Its seven hills rise above the Tagus, linking tiled lanes, grand squares and viewpoints with wide river views. In Alfama, narrow streets preserve the feel of old Lisbon. In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery and Tower recall Portugal’s age of discovery. Pause for coffee and a warm pastel de nata between sights.

  2. Day 3

    Funchal, Portugal

    Funchal sits in a broad, sunlit amphitheatre above Madeira’s deep Atlantic harbour. Its compact centre rewards exploration, from the Old Town’s painted doors to the cathedral’s carved cedar ceiling. Ride the cable car uphill to Monte for sweeping views, then descend through gardens or by traditional wicker toboggan. Madeira’s wines and market produce offer a taste of the island before your ship sails.

  3. Day 4

    Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

    Santa Cruz de Tenerife is more than an island gateway. This Atlantic capital rewards a closer look. Browse the stalls at Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, then follow the old streets towards Plaza de España. Its broad avenues, shaded plazas and market cafés make wandering pleasantly straightforward. Modern landmarks include the sculptural Auditorio de Tenerife, while palm-lined parks offer a welcome pause. Mount Teide rises inland; the golden sands of Las Teresitas lie within reach.

  4. Day 5

    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.

  5. Day 6

    Puerto del Rosario, Spain

    Puerto del Rosario is Fuerteventura’s capital, where ferries and fishing boats share a working harbour. The centre is an easy walk from the quay, with cafés and shops along its streets. Visit Casa Museo Unamuno, where the Spanish writer lived during his 1924 exile, then follow the waterfront’s open-air sculpture trail. Beyond town, volcanic landscapes and broad beaches reveal the island’s distinctive appeal.

  6. Day 7

    Agadir, Morocco

    Agadir faces the Atlantic beneath the foothills of the Anti-Atlas, with a broad crescent beach and year-round sunshine. The 1960 earthquake destroyed much of the old city; today’s Agadir is modern, spacious and easy to explore. At Souk El Had, browse stalls of spices, leather and ceramics. Then visit the Kasbah ruins for wide views across the harbor and coast. For a quieter glimpse of local life, explore the fishing port or settle at a beachfront café.

  7. Day 8

    Casablanca, Morocco

    Casablanca is Morocco’s commercial capital, where Atlantic breezes meet broad boulevards and a lively medina. Begin at the Hassan II Mosque, whose vast prayer hall and soaring minaret stand beside the ocean. Then explore the French-era Art Deco centre, or browse the lanes of the Habous quarter for pastries, crafts and bookshops. Casablanca rewards curiosity with a modern Morocco shaped by trade, architecture and daily life.

  8. Day 9

    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.

  9. Day 10

    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.

  10. Day 11

    Gibraltar

    Gibraltar stands at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, looking across the Strait towards Morocco. The Rock rises above a compact town shaped by British, Spanish and Mediterranean influences. A taxi tour of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve brings far-reaching views and close encounters with Barbary macaques. Below, explore the Great Siege Tunnels and Moorish Castle, then browse Main Street’s shops and cafés.

  11. Day 12

    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.

  12. Day 13

    Portimao, Portugal

    Portimão sits where the Arade River meets the Atlantic, in Portugal’s sunlit Algarve. From the quay, Praia da Rocha’s ochre cliffs and broad sands are close at hand. In the old town, tiled façades and cafés frame the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição. Choose fresh sardines at the waterfront, or cross the river to Ferragudo for a quieter village view. Portimão makes an easy base for exploring the Algarve’s coast without sacrificing a genuine working-town feel.

  13. Day 14

    Lisbon, Portugal

    Lisbon is a city best approached with time and comfortable shoes. Its seven hills rise above the Tagus, linking tiled lanes, grand squares and viewpoints with wide river views. In Alfama, narrow streets preserve the feel of old Lisbon. In Belém, the Jerónimos Monastery and Tower recall Portugal’s age of discovery. Pause for coffee and a warm pastel de nata between sights.
