On the western Algarve, Portimão is a small port with a bustling historic centre. Enjoy the day exploring this once well-known fishing port, now transformed into a breath-taking promenade with shops selling traditional lace, ceramics, and leather goods, and fantastic restaurants. Portimão is much loved for the steep limestone cliffs that surround its sandy beach of Praia da Rocha. Architectural masterpieces from the 19th and 20th century blend with colourful contemporary structures.

On the shores of the Guadalquivir River lies Seville, the elegant capital of Andalusia. Arrive in the afternoon to explore this historic city, an architect's dream with striking architectural styles, from the Gothic design of the Cathedral de Santa María de la Sede to the Baroque beauty of the Iglesia Colegial del Salvador.

Docking right in the heart of the city, simply step off your Discovery Yacht to begin your own discovery. The ship will be spending the night in Seville, giving you ample opportunity to sample the city’s famed culinary scene, small bars and flamenco dancing.

On your second day in Seville, take advantage of the scenic Freechoice options to explore the city's captivating views, charming streets, and hidden gems at your own pace, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the local culture and beauty.

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Known as the White City for its whitewashed houses lining winding streets, Tangier has been shaped by numerous cultures and civilisations over the centuries. The strong Spanish influence makes it a prime example of Spanish-Moorish architecture. Today, Tangier is a bustling modern port and the busiest in the Mediterranean. After departing from Tangier, enjoy the stunning passage through the Strait of Gibraltar and a view of the iconic Rock of Gibraltar.

Renowned for its luxury cars, high-end boutiques, and impressive yachts, Puerto Banús embodies exclusivity—making it the perfect match for your journey aboard Scenic Eclipse II. Designed in the 1970s, this charming coastal enclave seamlessly blends Andalusian heritage with the elegance of a sophisticated port town, capturing the essence of both traditional fishing villages and modern luxury.

Set against a backdrop of immense mountains, wind your way through the town’s narrow streets lined with flower boxes. Experience one of the many glitzy bars this evening before another late departure.
