Cadiz
DAY 8
26 Jun 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Despite its impressive modernity as a major city, Cádiz is one of the oldest continually-inhabited cities in Western Europe and an urban centre dominated by well-preserved historical landmarks – most of which can be found in Casco Antiguo, the Old Town within the remnants of Cádiz’s city walls. That doesn’t mean you won’t find any modern comforts here, though; while you’re sightseeing, you can expect to enjoy flavourful food from fantastic restaurants, comfortable cafes, and more. Sitting on Spain’s southern coast, the Port of Cádiz is also a short trip from Seville – a stunning Spanish city boasting its own unique culture and unique historical landmarks. So, if a tour of Seville is on the agenda, you’ll have no trouble getting there and back when you disembark here.
Things to do in Cadiz:
Playa de La Victoria
Playa de la Victoria is a breathtaking stretch of sandy beach perfect for sun lounging and enjoying the glorious weather in southern Spain; with restaurants, bars, shops, and more all within close walking distance, you’ll never have to travel far to find what you need when enjoying a day here.
Castillo de San Sebastián
Located on a small island at the end of La Caleta beach, this remarkable historical site was once home to a Temple of Kronos – a Titan among the Greek gods, and father of Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera. The castle we see today was built circa 1706 in order to provide the northern flank of the city with defence, and the levee linking the island to the city was constructed in 1860. This castle was also the site of Spain’s second electric-powered lighthouse, which was added to the structures on this island in 1908.
Plaza de España
An impressive plaza in Parque de Maria Luisa in Seville, Plaza de España is a remarkable landmark example of Regionalism architecture – blending the Baroque Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Moorish Revival styles together. Completed in 1928, this stunning area was featured in exterior shots of the City of Theed on Naboo in Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones and scenes from Lawrence of Arabia, among other film and TV productions – something that only exemplifies its incredible beauty.
Royal Alcázar of Seville
A historic royal palace in the heart of Seville, which was once an Islamic-era citadel in the 10th century before eventually being expanded upon and rebuilt throughout the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, the Royal Alcázar of Seville is an impressive example of Mudejar-style architecture but draws on Gothic and Renaissance elements, giving it a unique character among other palaces in the region. When the royal family are visiting Seville, they still occupy the upper stories of the alcázar to this day – though, you can also explore this area when they’re not in town. A stunning palace with an impressive collection of elegant interiors, interesting artworks, and gardens, this is a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Seville.
Portimao
DAY 9
27 Jun 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Portimão is an idyllic destination on the sun-kissed Algarve coastline and a stunning holiday hotspot to visit when cruising southern Portugal. Boasting a bustling waterfront with a picturesque promenade and a charming city centre with vibrant parks and interesting attractions, there’s so much to enjoy when you arrive. The golden-sand beaches here, though, might just be some of the best in the country; bordering sparkling blue waters and surrounded by dramatic rock formations, they’re the perfect place to kick back and soak up the glorious sunshine when you disembark. Overlooking the Arade River, the Museu de Portimão is also worth visiting when exploring the city – it explores this city’s unique industrial history alongside artifacts from several land and underwater archeological sites. A stunningly beautiful part of the world, a port stop at Portimão promises to be one to remember.
Things to do in Portimao:
Praia dos Três Castelos
A stunning stretch of beach known for its unique rock formations, Praia dos Três Castelos is a stone’s throw from the city centre and the perfect place to spend a day sun-soaking in the Algarve. Both wide and long, you’ll have plenty of room to relax when you’re here, and you might come across some interesting rock pools when the tide is low.
Portimão Museum
Located in a former canning factory, this modern museum is home to several unique areas highlighting important aspects of Portimão’s heritage and culture; from a full recreation of one of the canning rooms in the factory to scale models of the Megalithic Monuments of Alcalar, there’s centuries of history to explore here.
Fort of Santa Catarina
Constructed circa 1621, the Fort of Santa Catarina is an impressive medieval fortification offering sweeping panoramic views of the stunning coastline and across the Arade River. Largely considered among the last Philippine military projects in the Algarve, you’ll find a cafeteria within, making this one of the most unique places in Portimão to enjoy a coffee. It’s also a stone’s throw from Praia da Rocha, a breathtaking wide beach.
