Travel Detail

8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

A beach resort town on the Mediterranean coast — that’s an instant “ahhh” from you, right? Alicante is just that kind of place, with options for getting you in touch with some white sand, chilling in the shade of palm trees or exploring old-world charm. The city’s own “old town” section is as good for strolling as it is shopping, while some of the best views are conveniently available at Castillo de Santa Barbara fortress, which visitors access through an underground tunnel. Spanish-style dining should be on your to-do list, so come hungry and set aside some time for a leisurely multi-course lunch, a meal at a seafront café or a visit to an Ayuntamiento neighborhood tapas bar. Nourishment for the soul is served up at Museo de Arte Siglo, which houses works by Dali, Miro and Picasso. While Alicante was founded by the Romans as Lucentum, even visitors of today will see why “city of lights” is still a fitting description for this vibrant Spanish spot.

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Cruise to Málaga and enjoy one of Spain’s oldest cities. First founded by the Phoenicians, the city of Málaga had hosted a number of civilizations over its 3,000 years. The end result is a city that’s a cornucopia of Roman and Moorish influences, among others. Travel to Málaga and enjoy the city’s many museums, especially Museo Picasso Málaga… after all, this is the city where the artist himself was born. Take a side-trip to nearby Granada, where visitors can explore the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s at once an imposing fortress, impressive palace and a small town.

• Discover one of Spain’s greatest traditions at its largest and oldest bullfighting arena.
• Visit the Alhambra and explore this 14th century palace.
• Take a guided tour of the Málaga Cathedral with its unique mix of styles.

7:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Best known as the gateway to the Mediterranean, Gibraltar is a port whose big features defy its reputation as a tiny British territory. For instance, the Rock of Gibraltar is more a mountain than a pebble — despite its understated name — and features limestone burrow tunnels that helped Gibraltar fend off invaders for over 200 years. The most scenic way up the rock is the Mediterranean Steps — imagine a staircase leading up the great rock towards even greater vistas. Down below in Gibraltar (and especially on Main Street) shopping is big… and perhaps more importantly, it’s duty-free.

• Traverse the elaborate network of World War II tunnels still in existence in Gibraltar.
• Pause for a photo op at Europa Point’s famous red and white lighthouse.
• Make St. Michael’s Cave your new top spot, with its stalagmites, stalactites, underground passageways and amphitheater.

No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
