Welcome to Lisbon, the colourful capital of Portugal and a city with a proud history of seafaring. Lose yourself in its cobbled alleyways, ancient ruins and white-domed cathedrals.

Board Scenic Eclipse II this afternoon and be warmly welcomed by the Captain and the crew. Enjoy a glass of champagne, meet your butler and settle into your spacious suite. Then join your fellow guests on the Sky Deck as you sail south along the wild and windswept coastline to the Algarve.

Please book your flight to arrive into Lisbon prior to 02:00 PM.

On the western Algarve, Portimão is a small port with a bustling historic centre. Spend the day exploring this former fishing town, where architectural masterpieces from the 19th and 20th century seamlessly blend with colourful contemporary structures, fronted by a breathtaking promenade. Visit the shops selling traditional lace, ceramics and leather goods, and dine in one of the many fantastic restaurants. Admire the steep limestone cliffs that surround its sandy beach of Praia da Rocha and swim in its turquoise waters.

The historic city of Seville is around 100 kilometres from the coast, yet its position on the banks of the Guadalquivir River means Scenic Eclipse II can sail inland and dock right in its heart. Dating back to the days of the Roman Empire, the elegant capital of Andalusia is an architect's dream with striking styles ranging from the Gothic design of Cathedral de Santa María de la Sede to the Baroque style Iglesia Colegial del Salvador and strong Moorish influences.

Your Discovery Yacht 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, seize the opportunity to explore beyond the city limits. Choose from a day trip to Cordoba, where you can marvel at the Mezquita-Catedral, or visit Jerez to sample its renowned sherry and witness equestrian traditions. Whichever experience you select, your day promises unforgettable experiences and lasting memories in southern Spain. 

Settle in at the spacious Scenic Lounge Bar tonight to enjoy your beverage of choice, reflecting on the day's discoveries.

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Tangier's allure is timeless, inviting visitors to explore its rich history and vibrant present.  

It’s known as the White City for the whitewashed houses strewn along winding streets, and many cultures and civilisations have left their mark here over centuries. A strong Spanish influence makes it an excellent showcase for Spanish-Moorish architecture and its celebrated café culture boasts over 1,000 establishments. Today, modernisation is in full swing and Tangier is the busiest port in the Mediterranean.

Known for luxury cars, expensive shops and impressive yachts, Puerto Banús sets the standard in exclusivity – so you'll feel right at home on board Scenic Eclipse II. This small town was developed in the 1970s to be the perfect combination of Andalusian culture, reflecting the fishing villages of the area as well as a stylish port town with sophistication and elegance.  

You’ll sail this afternoon for the ancient city of Málaga on the famous Costa del Sol. Go ashore this evening to uncover local gastronomic delights such as ‘tinto de verano’, a delicious iced summer wine.

Spend today exploring the city of Málaga, where sunshine, history, and artistry intertwine to create an unforgettable experience. This glamorous resort town has more than 3,000 years of history. It was a centre of trade in the 15th century and is now a vibrant cosmopolitan city that draws millions of visitors each year for its gorgeous weather and artistic roots. Málaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and proudly pays homage to the virtuoso with a dedicated museum. Wander the streets filled with architectural delights from colourful baroque designs to a historic Roman theatre.

A prized location with one of the world’s greatest natural harbours at its doorstep and surrounded by rich mineral deposits, Cartagena surprises and delights. Once inhabited by the Romans, Cartagena is recognised for the wealth of ancient sites in and around the city. Roman murals and mosaics adorn historical villas while late 19th century architecture complements the picturesque Mediterranean coast.

Whilst Ibiza is known for its thriving party scene, there is more to this island than meets the eye. Home to beautiful nature and superb beaches, you will also discover archaeological sites and small villages almost untouched by modern life. Inland, the island is all limestone hills and lush pine forest, home to artisan producers who are creating one-of-a-kind local delights. 

The island is famous for its dazzling sunsets, so make the most of a late departure and watch the sky turn a blaze of orange and red from a stylish waterfront bar.

Palma, a popular resort city and capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca, is a place where history comes alive. Its rich cultural heritage has been inherited from the Romans, Moors and Catholics who lived here successively since 123BC. Wander the narrow, cobbled streets of Palma’s Casco Antiguo (Old Town) and admire its elegant archways, grand historic palacios, medieval churches and charming squares.

From Santa Maria Cathedral, a Gothic landmark, to La Almudaina, the Moorish-style Arab fortress converted into a royal residence, and Bellver Castle, a medieval fortress with a distinctive circular shape, Palma reveals a new chapter of history at every corner.

Your journey finishes this morning in the vibrant Barcelona, capital of the region of Catalonia. This spectacular city is known for its stunning beaches, culinary delights, thriving art scene and lively nightlife.
