Day 1 - Palma

Arrive: Tue 06 July 2021 / Depart: Tue 06 July 2021 at 22:00

Beaches or bargains, the sea or sights. Palma has it all, together with enough sunshine and souvenirs to keep anyone happy. If you like beaches, cafes or simply lazing around in the sunshine, you'll love Palma, together with the nearby resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf. Before you relax, though, make sure you visit Palma City itself to see the Moorish palace, the designer stores and the quaint shops and cobbled streets of the old city, behind the Gothic Cathedral. And for souvenirs, make a bee-line for Inca, the largest street market on the island which opens every Thursday.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Cadiz

Arrive: Thu 08 July 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 08 July 2021 at 18:00

From the splendour of its sheltered inner harbour to streets full of Moorish relics, Cadiz is the perfect introduction to the real beauty of Spain. Whether you want to see medieval walls built on Roman foundations or wander through designer stores filled with the latest European fashions, Cadiz is for you. Wander past churches built with the wealth Spanish conquistadors cnatched from the New World - including the cathedral where the treasury contains a monstrance said to be adorned with a million jewels. And when you finish looking for a Moorish treasure of your own, relax in true Spanish style in a traditional cafe. That's before you even start thinking of travelling further afield to see sights like the cathedral in Seville that houses the Chrispher Columbus Sepulchre or the city's picturesque Parque de Maria Luisa and Plaza de Espana.

Day 4 - Gibraltar

Arrive: Fri 09 July 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Fri 09 July 2021 at 22:00

Gibraltar is only two miles long. This, its duty-free shops and sunshine record make it the perfect place to shop, explore and meet the famous Gibraltan monkeys. Inside and outside, Gibraltar offers lots of opportunities to find out what makes it so appealing. On the rock itself are attractions like the Moorish Castle, the Gibraltar Museum and the cable car ride to Europa Point with its stop to visit the families of famous Gibraltan monkeys. Inside the rock, there are more miles of road than on the outside, including the Great Siege Tunnels and St Michael's Cave.

Day 5 - Malaga

Arrive: Sat 10 July 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 10 July 2021 at 17:00

Looking out across the Mediterranean, Malaga overflows with an assortment of architectural treasures and Spain's prized jewel, the Alhambra Palace, is within easy striking distance. Andalucia's second largest city, Malaga, is a bustling port on Spain's sunny Costa del Sol. Standing on a hillside overlooking the city is the 8th-century ‘Alcazaba', an impressive Moorish fortress. Malaga's cathedral is affectionately known as ‘La Manquita', meaning ‘the onearmed one' owing to its half-built tower, abandoned in the 1700s due to insufficient funds. During the Arab occupation of Spain, Malaga was the principle port of the Moorish kingdom of Granada. A short drive inland takes you to the heart of this wonderful city and its celebrated centrepiece, the breathtaking Alhambra Palace

Day 6 - Alicante

Arrive: Sun 11 July 2021 at 10:00 / Depart: Sun 11 July 2021 at 19:00

Once a haven for art and architecture, Alicante is today a welcoming and fascinating destination with something for everyone. With its 3rd century fortress perching 350 feet above the city and the flotilla of pleasure boats in the harbour, there is no mistaking the beautiful destination of Alicante. There is no excuse for not finding something of interest either because it is brimming with attractions. Sunlovers can flock to the long, golden Playa del Postiguet beach. Those seeking souvenirs will stroll along Rambla de Mendez Nuñez to the lively market. For marvellous panoramic views, visit the Castillo de Santa Barbara. And if you just want to relax, amble around the old quarter, the Baroque town hall, and the 18th century Gravina Palace.

Day 7 - Valencia

Arrive: Mon 12 July 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 12 July 2021 at 18:00

The birthplace of paella, Valencia is an enchanting city that offers visitors beautiful sights as well as unforgettable food. Outside the city of Valencia, orange groves stretch away into the distance across the irrigated lands of the coastal plain. Inside the city, its sights add to its appeal. The Ceramics Museum is one of Europe's finest and includes a gallery of ceramics made by Picasso. The Silk Exchange, Square Central Market and octagonal gothic cathedral with alabaster windows give you the opportunity to explore further. That's before you discover the rest of the old town or even travel out to Albufera, the largest freshwater lake in Spain.

Day 8 - Palma

Arrive: Tue 13 July 2021 / Depart: Tue 13 July 2021

Beaches or bargains, the sea or sights. Palma has it all, together with enough sunshine and souvenirs to keep anyone happy. If you like beaches, cafes or simply lazing around in the sunshine, you'll love Palma, together with the nearby resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf. Before you relax, though, make sure you visit Palma City itself to see the Moorish palace, the designer stores and the quaint shops and cobbled streets of the old city, behind the Gothic Cathedral.

Day 9 - At Sea

Day 10 - Trapani

Arrive: Thu 15 July 2021 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 15 July 2021 at 17:00

The Greeks, the Romans, the Saracens, the Normans – they all squabbled over the pretty hook-shaped harbour of Trapani. And no wonder. Packed with reminders of its long and colourful past, this place offers up great sights, waist-bustingly good seafood and bags of that irresistible Sicilian charm. It’s a west coast corner to fall head over heels for.......

Day 11 - Sorrento

Arrive: Fri 16 July 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Fri 16 July 2021 at 18:00

Day 12 - Rome

Arrive: Sat 17 July 2021 at 07:00 / Depart: Sat 17 July 2021 at 19:00

History doesn't come much better than the Eternal City. Neither does the opportunity to find exclusive designer shops. Discover the old and the new city in Rome. Whatever you're looking for in Rome, you'll find it. For a touch of the past, try the magnificent 50,000 seater Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Forum Romanum and the Spanish Steps. That's not forgetting the Vatican itself, with St Peter's Cathedral and the unrivalled Vatican Museum. Or the Trevi Fountain where you can throw a coin in the water for good luck. But not all Roman roads are lined with antiquities. Some boast the exclusive shops of Fendi, Valentino and Gucci, while others are lined with bustling cafes from the fancy to the casually friendly.

Day 13 - Ajaccio

Arrive: Sun 18 July 2021 at 09:00 / Depart: Sun 18 July 2021 at 16:00

Sitting amidst a varied landscape of mountains and beaches, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte on the west coast of Corsica is a wonderful destination to explore. The breathtaking sight when you sail into Ajaccio, with the crystal blue waters contrasting with the green of the beautiful countryside, is just the introduction to Ajaccio. Boasting Corsican architecture as well as a famous military leader, the town features a fascinating blend of French and Italian influences.

Day 14 - Palamos

Arrive: Mon 19 July 2021 at 09:00 / Depart: Mon 19 July 2021 at 18:00

Hundreds of years old, yet now a thriving and modern Spanish port, Palamos gives you a glimpse into the local culture – and the perfect opportunity to relax. On the east coast of Spain, north of Barcelona, Palamos was founded around a natural harbour in 1277. The legacy of fishing continues today and the day's catch is still auctioned on the busy quayside in the late afternoon, giving you the chance to see traditional fishing the Spanish way. That's if you can spare the time from relaxing on the superb beach or taking a tour to Figueres, the famous city where Dali was born and lived until his death in 1989.

Day 15 - Palma

Arrive: Tue 20 July 2021 at 06:00 / Depart: Tue 20 July 2021
