Your first port of call is Arrecife, capital of Lanzarote and a beautiful port city situated on the island’s eastern coastline. Sharing prominence in its urban layout are the streets of the historic centre and the vibrant neighbourhoods. You can also discover Arrecifes's many museums and historic buildings as well as attractive beaches and excellent nautical facilities or play golf while taking in the stunning views of the Atlantic.

Enjoy the lavish comforts of your stylish yacht – slide into the infinity-style pool where the azure water seems to blur with the horizon; ascend to the Sky Deck to drink in panoramic views, or simply relax in the Observation Lounge.
Morocco’s chief port and a thriving metropolis, Casablanca presents a city of contrasts: high-rise office buildings blending with striking palm trees lining the streets and the Atlantic Ocean visible in the horizon. And amid atmospheric neighbourhoods, modern infrastructure rubs shoulders with Arab-Muslim heritage and elegant colonial legacies. Take a stroll in the atmospheric Medina, roam through the city centre to discover art-deco buildings and admire the grand Hassan II Mosque, built over the water.
Today, you’ll make a stop at the Andalusian coastal town of Cádiz, famed for its beautiful Atlantic beaches, festive carnivals and delicious local seafood dishes.
While here, be sure to sample ‘pescaíto frito’ (fried fish) or ‘tortillitas de camarones’ (shrimp fritters). For an enjoyable dose of sun and sand, visit La Caleta, a pristine beach nestled between two castles.
Nestled in the beautiful southern region of Andalusia, Málaga was founded by the Phoenicians and has been under the rule of various civilisations, including the Romans and Moors, each leaving their legacies on the city's culture and architecture. Several historical sites and landmarks can be found in this popular port city and holiday hotspot, including the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress overlooking the city, and nearby Roman Theatre.
As a major naval station on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, Cartagena has been greatly influenced by various cultures over the centuries. This historical crossroads of civilisations is evident in the city's diverse architectural styles, from the Roman era to Art Nouveau. A must-see landmark is the ancient Roman Theatre, unearthed in 1987 and beautifully restored for public viewing.
Ibiza's party scene is legendary worldwide, attracting thousands of revellers each year. This gorgeous Balearic Island, lying just off the coast of Spain, has become synonymous with electronic dance music, jetsetters lifestyle and late-night revelry. Despite its hedonistic reputation however, Ibiza also promotes responsible tourism, with initiatives to ensure the island's natural beauty, extending to beautiful sandy coves backed by pine-clad hills, is preserved for future generations.
On neighbouring Majorca, the capital of Spain's Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, presents a city steeped in history brimming with striking architecture. One of Palma's most notable landmarks is the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture dating back to the 13th century, boasting one of the largest rose windows — a decorated circular window with stained glass — in the world.
Your luxurious yacht cruise concludes in Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital city of Catalonia, where you’ll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your holiday.
