About This Cruise
<p>From the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, discover the striking contrasts of the Iberian shores. In the Algarve, ochre cliffs and secret beaches open onto an ocean of light, announcing Andalusia, nestled along the appropriately named Costa de la Luz. Here, flamenco bars, colourful little streets and medieval architecture all reveal the region’s lively soul. You will now sail along the Spanish coastlines, discovering remarkable lifestyle and heritage. From the province of Valencia to Catalonia, the architectural heritage, in turn Roman, medieval or modern, acts as a link between the ages. The Balearic Islands add another dimension to this Iberian escape, with their turquoise coves and relaxed way of life.</p>
