Your cruise at a glance

Hand-crafted highlights

Our team has designed this cruise to not only showcase the grand, ornate landmarks of Turkey, but also the scenic mountain landscapes of Iberia. In Istanbul, marvel at the elaborate mosaics of Hagia Sophia, the imperial treasures of Topkapi Palace and the Ottoman architecture of the Blue Mosque, while St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta will enchant you with its intricate Baroque detailing. The towering limestone formations of the Ronda Valley cliffs in Spain, Gibraltar’s iconic Rock and the natural beauty of Sintra Hills will captivate you, and are ripe for exploration. Do make time to explore Turkish traditions such as the rituals of tea culture, savour flavoursome meze, rejuvenate in the soothing hammams, and wander through the bustling Grand Bazaar, while in Málaga, enjoy vibrant flamenco performances and traditional Andalusian gazpacho, and in Lisbon, sample fresh sardines, delicious pastéis de nata and listen to the soulful melodies of fado music. Historic sites such as Lindos Acropolis and Ephesus showcase the legacy of the region’s rulers, while maritime influences are evident at the Rock of Gibraltar and in Lisbon, with landmarks such as the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery.
