Spirit of Spain Cruise

Day 1 - Malaga

Arrive: Wed 23 June 2027 / Depart: Wed 23 June 2027 at 22:00

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 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - Mahon, Spain

Arrive: Fri 25 June 2027 at 09:00 / Depart: Fri 25 June 2027 at 18:00

Prepare yourself for the spectacular views as you enter the port, the glorious sunsets and a location surprisingly close to almost everything you'll want to see. Standing on deck as the ship slowly glides into the spectacular harbour of Mahon is a must. Not just for the views of the town itself, but for the sights of the traditional mussel farms in the water.

Day 4 - Ibiza

Arrive: Sat 26 June 2027 / Depart: Sat 26 June 2027

Nestled on the island's eastern coast, Ibiza Town offers cobbled streets brimming with whitewashed Spanish architecture, sublime views and an impressive Old Town. Ibiza is an island of contrasts. Warm, turquoise waters lap golden sands while inland the island is a rural patchwork of olive groves, almond trees, fig orchards and wooded hillsides. The capital, Ibiza Town, has retained its 1950's provincial charm and is home to a magnificent fortified old quarter, crowned by a glorious 13th century cathedral that can be seen for miles around.

Day 5 - Valencia

Arrive: Sun 27 June 2027 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 27 June 2027 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 6 - Alicante

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.
