Cruise Description

8 days | Lisbon • Porto • Cadiz • Gibraltar • Alicante • Valencia • Mallorca

On this cruise with the VASCO DA GAMA you will get a fascinating insight into life along the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula. And because enjoyment should be part of life, this aspect is not neglected: Port wine in Portuguese Porto, sherry in Spanish Jerez de la Frontera, fish & chips in British Gibraltar and paella in Valencia are on the program. But you will also experience pleasure for all your other senses: Hear, see and feel the history and stories of this region between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Visiting several UNESCO World Heritage Sites - including Seville - reminds us how extraordinary and worthy of protection this part of the European continent is.

Highlights:
- Porto is world famous for its sweet dessert wine.
- You also taste the other typical dishes and drinks of Portugal and Spain where they come from. Salud!
- Gibraltar will surprise you with its typical British charisma and inspire you at the same time. Barbary macaques, the Rock of Gibraltar and the Gorham Cave, where the Neanderthals already lived, come on top.
- In Valencia, take a look into the future of architecture. What has been created here in the past decades in the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciences is simply fabulous.
