Immerse yourself in the rich history of Almería, where the majestic La Alcazaba fortress stands as a powerful symbol of Spain's Moorish heritage. Built in the mid-10th century, it was once one of the country's mightiest fortresses, second only to the iconic Alhambra.

With its perfect mix of culture, history, and stunning landscapes, Almería offers an unforgettable experience that will captivate you at every turn.  

Wake this morning in the city of Alicante, one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations and unofficial capital of the Costa Blanca (White Coast).  

Alicante is built around the base of the imposing Moorish fortress of Castillo de Santa Barbara, dating back to the 9th century; climb the hill or take the elevator to explore. In El Barrio, the Old Town, soak up the sun with a walk along the beautiful, palm-tree lined Explanada de España.  

Make your reservation for the Night Market @ Koko’s (available by on board reservation), where chefs prepare unique dishes inspired by the street markets of Asia while you watch.  

Discover the vibrant energy of Barcelona, a city where lively culture meets rich history and captivating outdoor spaces. Be inspired by Gaudí’s whimsical masterpieces and stroll along iconic boulevards like Las Ramblas, a mile-long, tree-lined promenade. From the enchanting city blocks to the awe-inspiring La Sagrada Família cathedral, Barcelona promises an unforgettable experience. 

On your second day in Barcelona, explore the picturesque medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter, the city's oldest district, where traces of the ancient Roman wall have been uncovered. Among its many treasures is the stunning neo-Gothic Barcelona Cathedral, a true masterpiece of architecture.

The oldest city in France, Marseille dates to 600BC. Today, it’s a fast-paced, modern city brimming with multicultural flavours, and flanked by breathtaking natural scenery and golden beaches. This is a place where grit and grandeur meet, offering a fascinating insight into contemporary French culture. Explore its ancient streets and diverse neighbourhoods, marvel at iconic landmarks such as the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde and treat yourself to the freshest seafood and traditional delicacies. Marseille is also the gateway to the region of Provence, famous for its wine and cuisine. 

Saint-Tropez, once a quiet fishing village, became a glamorous travel destination in the 1950s, thanks to Brigitte Bardot and the film And God Created Woman. Today, it still retains all the glitz and glamour, alongside glittering blue seas, stunning beaches and a bohemian art scene. Stroll along the cobblestone streets of the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, and revel in the abstract architecture and sunlit landscapes that inspired great artists and filmmakers. With a late departure, see Saint-Tropez come alive after dark.
