Day 1 - Barcelona, Spain

Welcome to Spain and the vibrant city of Barcelona. Renowned for its stunning beaches, innovative cuisine, edgy art scene and buzzing nightlife, it attracts travellers from across the globe.    

Your journey begins here as soon as you step on board Scenic Eclipse II. Be warmly welcomed by the crew before your butler shows you to your luxurious verandah suite. As the sun sets over Barcelona, join your fellow guests on the Sky Deck for a pre-dinner cocktail with stunning city views. 

Please book your flight to arrive into Barcelona prior to 01:00 PM.

Day 2 - Palma de Mallorca, Spain

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. 

Day 3 - Ibiza, Spain

Whilst Ibiza is famous 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 known for its dazzling sunsets, so grab a seat and a drink at the Sky Bar or Yacht Club Terrace to watch the sky turn orange, red and pink as Scenic Eclipse II leaves port.

Day 4 - Cartagena, Spain

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. 

Enjoy your morning in this beautiful port before returning to Scenic Eclipse II after lunch. Perhaps relax with an indulgent treatment# at the expansive Senses Spa before meeting new friends for dinner in one of the up to 10 world-class culinary experiences on board. 

Day 5 - Malaga, Spain

Spend today exploring the city of Málaga on Spain’s Costa del Sol, a glamorous resort town with more than 3,000 years of history. A centre of trade in the 15th century, today this vibrant cosmopolitan city draws millions of visitors each year for its sunshine 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.

Scenic Eclipse II will be docked here overnight, so there’s time to sample gastronomic delights such as ‘tinto de verano’, a delicious, iced summer wine.

Day 6 - Puerto Banus, Spain

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.

Set against a backdrop of immense mountains, wind your way through the town’s narrow streets lined with flower boxes. Or experience one of the excellent golf courses that dot the hills behind the town. You may also wish to visit one of the many glitzy bars this evening before another late departure.

Day 7 - Gibraltar > transit Strait of Gibraltar

Perched on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a natural fortress and a little slice of Britain tucked within the borders of Spain. The skyline is dominated by the imposing Rock of Gibraltar, a 426-metre-high limestone promontory with curious troops of Barbary macaques living in its upper reaches. On the streets below, you can explore dozens of British stores and traditional pubs, and marvel that you’re a stone’s throw away from Spain.

This afternoon, you’ll sail through the Strait of Gibraltar. Stand on your private verandah or join fellow guests at the Observation Lounge to marvel at this legendary waterway that divides north from south. 

Day 8 - 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 9 - Seville, 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 10 - 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.

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

Day 11 - 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 12 - Lisbon, Portugal

Welcome to Lisbon, the colourful capital of Portugal and a city with a proud history of seafaring dating back more than 600 years. Your journey into wonder ends here after one last sumptuous breakfast on board the ultra-luxury Scenic Eclipse II. Farewell the crew and your new friends as you depart, taking with you memories of an unforgettable journey.      

Please book your flight to depart out of Lisbon after 12:00 PM.

+All drinks on board, including those stocked in your mini bar, are included, except for a very small number of rare, fine and vintage wines, Champagnes and spirits. #Spa treatments at additional cost.
