From Volcanic Isles to Moorish Wonders
Welcome to the Canary Islands. Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, Tenerife is the largest of these Spanish islands that dot the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. The aroma of salty sea air is your constant companion as you bask in balmy breezes and take in the vibrant way of life that is imbued across culture and cuisine.
As you step on board your Discovery Yacht Scenic Eclipse this afternoon, you’ll be warmly welcomed by the Captain and crew. From the Sky Deck, raise a toast as you bid farewell to the shores of Santa Cruz de Tenerife as you embark on an unforgettable voyage.
Please book your flight to arrive into Tenerife prior to 02:00 PM.
Wake up refreshed and ease into the day. Indulge in a leisurely breakfast on your private verandah as you take in the vast expanse of the Atlantic.
As your Discovery Yacht makes her way toward the sun-drenched shores of Madeira, explore the exceptional experiences on board. Bask in the serenity of the expansive 550sqm Senses Spa# where you can unwind in thermal lounges or indulge in a signature treatment for complete rejuvenation.
This evening, Scenic Eclipse glides into the enchanting harbour of Madeira’s capital Funchal. With an overnight stay in port, take the opportunity to experience the island’s charm after dark.
Funchal became a popular holiday destination for the European aristocracy in the 19th century and the city still retains this air of busy prosperity. The grand boulevards and charming squares of West Funchal are home to boutique shops, excellent restaurants and interesting museums. Gritty East Funchal has been transformed into a hip neighbourhood packed with buzzing bars and trendy galleries. On its edge is the vibrant Mercado dos Lavradores market, bursting with local produce. The city is famous for its gardens, so plan a visit to the Madeira Botanical Garden, Monte Tropical Gardens and Santa Catarina Park.
Arrive at the secluded paradise of Porto Santo. Known for its pristine stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear waters, this idyllic island offers the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration.
Take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, where the gentle waves invite you for a refreshing swim. For those seeking exploration, discover the island’s rugged landscapes and scenic hiking trails with breathtaking ocean views. History enthusiasts can delve into Porto Santo’s rich past, visiting landmarks such as the house of Christopher Columbus, who once called the island home.
After days of exploration, take time to unwind and indulge in the ultra-luxury comforts of your Discovery Yacht.
Spend the afternoon at your own pace. Soak in the Vitality pool with a refreshing drink in hand, browse the curated selection of books in the Observation Lounge or indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment at the serene Senses Spa#.
As evening falls, enjoy a gourmet dining experience, sip a handcrafted cocktail at one of the elegant bars, or retreat to the privacy of your suite for an intimate nightcap, every moment on board is designed for pure indulgence.
At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known as the White City, for the whitewashed houses strewn along winding streets. Many cultures and civilisations have left their mark here over centuries. A strong Spanish influence makes it an excellent showcase for Spanish-Moorish architecture. Today, Tangier is a modern port and the busiest in the Mediterranean.
The so-called Pillars of Hercules overlook the dramatic meeting of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Keep an eye out for the northernmost pillar, the legendary Rock of Gibraltar, before sailing on to the luxurious marina of Puerto Banús.
This small town was developed in the 1970s as the perfect combination of Andalusian culture, reflecting the fishing villages of the area as well as sophistication and elegance.
Scenic Eclipse arrives this evening to the port of Málaga. Explore its atmospheric streets, savour world-class cuisine, and experience its lively ambiance. The night is yours to enjoy the town.
