About This Trip
Retrace ancient trade routes across two continents and four countries on an eight-night cruise from Casablanca, Morocco, to Porto, Portugal, aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe World Voyager small ship. Visit spectacular port cities along the northeast African coast and the Iberian Peninsula — Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, Morocco; Málaga and Seville, Spain; Gibraltar, United Kingdom; and Portimão, Lagos and Setúbal, Portugal. Visit Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque, dramatically situated on a promontory overlooking the ocean, to admire its intricate Moroccan details.
Stroll through Tangier’s sensorial-rich, exotic souks, explore the narrow alleyways
of the Petit Socco and visit the Niaba Gardens. Stand on the legendary Rock of
Gibraltar, referred to by ancient Greeks and Romans as the Pillars of Hercules,
step inside stalactite-filled St. Michael’s Cave and marvel at the world-famous
Barbary Apes. Savor a wine-tasting and farm-to-table lunch in Setúbal, Portugal’s
wine country, explore the Royal Alcázar of Seville and discover Lagos's ancient,
walled maritime port city. Enhance your adventure with the Marrakech Pre-Tour Extension
and/or the Lisbon Post-Tour Extension.
