    Day 1

    Malaga, Spain

    Welcome to Spain’s famous Costa del Sol and the ancient city of Malaga, where sunshine, history, and artistry intertwine. Málaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and the streets are filled with architectural delights, from colourful baroque designs to a historic Roman theatre. This afternoon, embark on a journey of unparalleled ultra-luxury on board Scenic Eclipse II, your 6-star Discovery Yacht. Relax in your elegant suite, sip a drink on your private verandah, and toast to the beginning of an extraordinary voyage.

    Day 2

    Tangier, Morocco

    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.

    Day 3

    Saville, Spain

    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.

    Day 4

    Seville, Spain

    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.

    Day 5

    Portimão, Portugal

    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.

    Day 6

    Lisbon, Portugal

    This morning, you’ll arrive in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon, the second-oldest city in Europe. This legendary harbour has been the starting point for seafaring expeditions for more than 500 years. Wander through the narrow streets of the Alfama district, where the sounds of Fado music drift from cosy taverns. Marvel at historic landmarks like the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, testament to the city’s rich maritime heritage. Indulge in local delicacies like pastéis de nata and fresh seafood at lively markets and quaint cafes. Embrace the city’s artistic spirit at museums and galleries, or simply soak up the sun along the scenic waterfront.

    Day 7

    Leixões, Portugal

    Spend the morning getting to know your 6-star Discovery Yacht before we arrive in port around midday. One of Portugal’s largest seaports, Leixões is just 8km from the heart of Porto. Located on the Douro River estuary, it’s the commercial centre of northern Portugal and a World Heritage-listed city of baroque splendour. It dates back to pre-Roman times and is the source of both the name Portugal and of the famed port wine. Stroll through the winding alleys, admire grand gothic and baroque architecture, see the public street art, greet the friendly locals, hear the rickety tram, and feel the breeze of the Atlantic.

    Day 8

    Ferrol, Spain

    Enjoy another slow start this morning, perhaps with a luxurious breakfast in bed or a morning yoga class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates studio. Scenic Eclipse II will arrive in Ferrol, on the northwestern tip of Spain, just after lunch. Part of the region of Galicia, it has a rich history as a fishing village and strategic naval port. Explore stylish boutiques and Galician-style houses in the Magdalena neighbourhood, then visit the 18th century San Felipe Castle, where bulwarks and cannons defended the city. Around an hour inland, you can visit the World Heritage-listed city of Santiago de Compostela.

    Day 9

    Avilé, Spain

    Embark on today’s journey to Avilés, nestled in the picturesque Asturias region of northern Spain. The historic town is something of a hidden gem, known for its cultural vibrancy and relaxed ambience. Explore the enchanting old town, with well-preserved medieval buildings and churches dating back to the 13th century, and locals enjoying a glass of cider in the leady squares. Then stroll through the vibrant Plaza del Carbayedo, which hosts a bustling weekly market filled with local delicacies and lively chatter.

    Day 10

    Bilbao, Spain

    Welcome to Bilbao, one of the world’s great foodie destinations. The largest city in the Basque Country, it’s renowned for its incredible cuisine as well as its striking modern architecture, epitomised by the iconic Guggenheim Museum standing on the waterfront. Delve into its rich cultural heritage, discovering landmarks like the majestic 16th century Basílica de Begoña and Casco Viejo, Bilbao’s compact and captivating old quarter. Indulge in the gastronomic delights and warm hospitality of pintxo bars and restaurants, showcasing traditional Basque fare. Bilbao offers a blend of contemporary allure and timeless charm, inviting you to immerse yourself in its vibrant atmosphere and cultural treasures.

    Day 11

    Bordeaux, France

    This morning, Scenic Eclipse II’s elegant and sleek design takes you where other ocean cruise ships are unable to reach. Sail inland along the Garonne River, surrounded by lush vineyards while the sun casts a golden glow upon Bordeaux’s elegant architecture. Look out for the spires of Saint-André Cathedral and the silhouette of the Grand Théâtre, icons of the city. The bustling quayside will be teeming with activity, from charming cafés and markets to street performers. The scent of freshly baked bread and aromatic coffee fills the air. An overnight stay means plenty of time to indulge in Bordeaux’s gourmet delights.

    Day 12

    Bordeaux

    Your voyage draws to a close this morning in Bordeaux, a city steeped in elegance and renowned for its world-class wine. Savour one last splendid breakfast on board, reminiscing on the unforgettable moments shared during your cruise. Bid farewell to your fellow guests and the Scenic Eclipse II crew, then disembark to continue your travels or begin your journey home. Please book your flight to depart out of Bordeaux after 12:00 PM.
