Itinerary

Your deluxe cruise begins in Barcelona, where you'll be transferred to your Emerald Cruises luxury yacht to begin your journey of the Spanish coastline.

Please book your flight to arrive into Barcelona prior to 02:00 PM. (D)

Castellón de la Plana is an eclectic city melding natural beauty with rich culture. It has beautiful beaches and inviting green spaces such as Columbretes Islands Natural Park, popular for hiking. The city is also home to Jaume I University, one of the most important universities in Spain, elevating Castellón de la Plana's already dynamic culture with a youthful energy. (B/L/D)

Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain's Balearic Islands, is a city steeped in history and adorned with remarkable architecture. One of Palma's most notable landmarks is the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with one of the largest rose windows — a decorated circular window with stained glass — in the world. (B/L/D)

Alicante has a lovely Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, making it a popular holiday destination year-round. It's known for beautiful beaches such as Playa de San Juan and Postiguet Beach, which entice travellers from around the world. In the heart of Alicante stands the Castle of Santa Barbara, dating back to the 9th century. (B/L/D)

As a major naval station on the Mediterranean coast, Cartagena has been greatly influenced by various cultures over the centuries. This historical crossroads of civilizations is evident in the city's diverse architectural styles from Roman to Art Nouveau. A must-see landmark is the ancient Roman Theatre, unearthed in 1987 and restored for public viewing. (B/L/D)

Almeria is tucked away on the southeast corner of Spain's Mediterranean coast. One of the most remarkable features of Almería is its diverse landscapes. It has the Tabernas Desert, the only desert in Europe, and it's also home to the Sierra de Alhamilla mountain range and captivating coastal areas. (B/L/D)

Immerse yourself in the territory of Gibraltar, notable for its incredible position on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, almost like a ‘guardian' to the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Did you know despite being surrounded by Spain; Gibraltar has been under British control since 1704. From traditional English pubs to Moroccan tea houses, Gibraltar offers a unique cultural fusion. (B/L/D)

Enjoy a morning sail to Tangier. Guarding the Strait of Gibraltar, it has for centuries been Europe's gateway to Africa. Its blend of cultures and influences is unique in Morocco. Look, listen and smell: the diversity of the bustling crowds, the heavy fragrances in the markets, the murmurs of the sea and city blending – a feast of sensations that stuns the senses. (B/L/D)

Your luxurious yacht cruise concludes in Malaga, where you'll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your holiday.
