Day 1: Casablanca (Hotel Night)
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by the cruise representative and driven on the group transfer to your hotel.
Day 2: Casablanca
This morning, you will take the group transfer from your hotel to the port and board your cruise.
Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, showcases a fusion of French, Moorish, and Art Deco styles in its downtown neo-Mauresque structures. The prominent Hassan II Mosque, finished in 1993, features a towering 210m minaret with laser projections, and the 18th-century medina's lively alleyways provide a glimpse into the city's historical charm. Place Mohammed V, with palm trees and an elaborate fountain, symbolises Casablanca's dynamism.
Day 3: Tangier
Tangier, Morocco's northern port city, has been a gateway to Africa for centuries. Founded by the Phoenicians 3,000 years ago, Tangier's long, complex history is reflected in its labyrinthine Medina, 15th-century Portuguese fortress and Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures with its mosaic of Venus. Today, Tangier is a contemporary Moroccan city with a buzzing café culture and modern port.
Day 4: Motril
Motril, nestled among the Sierra de Lújar and Sierra Nevada mountains, is the capital of the Tropical Coast. Its mild subtropical climate supports sugarcane cultivation. Known for this "sweet gold," its rich sugar history features a sugar museum, mills and rum distilleries. Motril also provides access to the whitewashed villages in Las Alpujarras valleys and gorges, and Granada, home to the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 5: Puerto Banus, Marbella
Puerto Banús, a luxury hotspot on the Costa del Sol, is famous for its upscale marina, lined with high-end boutiques, bars and restaurants, drawing the rich and famous. It's also a centre for activities like sailing and dolphin watching. Just 7 km away, Marbella's old town offers a contrast with its Renaissance-era whitewashed buildings, narrow streets and highlights like Plaza de los Naranjos and Salvador Dalí sculptures along Avenida del Mar.
Day 6: Chipiona, Donana National Park
With centuries of Moorish and Andalucian architecture, the peaceful coastal town of Chipiona is the gateway to Doñana National Park, a haven for biodiversity. Home to the elusive Iberian lynx, shifting sand dunes and corrales pine forests, Europe’s largest wetland marshes teem with bird species like flamingos and storks. Tours by 4x4 explore the dunes, marshes and riverbanks while boat tours on the Guadalquivir River offer a unique perspective.
Day 7 and 8: Seville
A city renowned for passion, culture and flamenco, Seville’s intoxicating atmosphere will infuse even the weariest traveller with a celebratory spirit. The capital of Andalusia is revered for the grandeur of its monuments as well as for exquisite tapas dishes. The magnificent Catedral de Sevilla lords over the historic centre a short distance from the Alcázar (palace), a royal complex of rooms and gardens hidden behind modest terracotta walls.
Day 9: Lagos - Lisbon
Lagos, on the Algarve coast surrounded by golf courses, is a small port famed for its walled old town and sandy Atlantic beaches. Praia do Camilo cove is accessed via wooden steps, and nearby Ponta de Piedade cliffs offer panoramic views with a lighthouse. The old town features charming shops and restaurants, with the 18th-century Igreja de Santo António church and the Castelo dos Governadores, a baroque castle known for its watchtowers.
Spread over seven hills with São Jorge Castle views, bustling Lisbon is one of the world's oldest cities. Elegant Baixa, hilltop Alfama with its yellow tram, and scenic Graça overviewing pastel buildings, are top areas. The Jerónimos Monastery in Belém is a World Heritage Gothic site. The classic Portuguese pastel de nata custard tarts are a local treat. Europe’s longest suspension bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, crosses the river Tagus.
This morning, you will disembark and take the group transfer from the ship to the Lisbon airport.

Price Assurance
At Eclipse Travel, our expert destination knowledge and decades of travel planning experience come at no extra cost to you. While many think booking through a tour operator is more expensive than planning a trip independently, that’s not the case. We’re paid by our travel partners—such as hotels, activity operators, and cruise providers—via commissions, not by our clients.
Our team negotiates the best rates for you and ensures you receive unbiased advice, with no preference for any particular supplier. In fact, where we secure higher commissions, we often pass the savings on to you, giving us a competitive price edge.
Additionally, we lock in exchange rates at the time of your deposit, ensuring no surprise costs when it’s time for final payment. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle the details with our suppliers. The only exceptions are national park fee increases or fuel surcharges imposed after your booking, though these are rare.
Take advantage of our team’s expertise and let us help you plan the perfect holiday—hassle-free!
