The Yachts of Seabourn

Sunny Spain and Moroco

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 - Lisbon, Portugal
Linger in the Alfama district's medieval lanes. Stroll along broad Parisian-style boulevards. And browse in modern shopping districts. A jeep safari excursion takes you to nearby Sintra. It's well worth extending your stay with Seabourn's Lisbon hotel program featuring the Ritz Four Seasons.

Day 2 - Cruising the Atlantic Ocean
A day at sea to enjoy the many pleasures of your Seabourn yacht. Check the daily Seabourn Herald for intriguing shipboard activities.

Day 3 - Funchal, Madiera, Portugal
Basking in eternal springtime, Madeira welcomes you to flower-covered hillsides and vineyards of sweet grapes. Descend the steep streets of the Portuguese-style town in a traditional sleigh made of wicker. Then sip the local wine in a sidewalk cafe.

Day 5 - Las Palmas, Canary Islands
Tour the beach resorts for which Gran Canaria is famous, or visit the sub-tropical paradise of the Angostura Valley and the amazing volcanic caldera of Bandama. The village of Teror holds a colonial basilica and an image of the island’s patron saint, Our Lady of the Pines.

Day 6 - La Gomera, Canary Islands
Although it is volcanic in origin like the other Canaries, La Gomera has been dormant for 2 million years. But the rugged peaks and steep valleys betray its origins. The island’s climate supports lush vegetation and abundant fruit production. Garajonay National Park protects much of the island’s natural beauty.

Day 7 - Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Lanzarote offers some of the most fantastic volcanic scenery found among the Canaries' lunar-like landscapes. Take a camel ride to fire mountain for a thrilling half-day excursion.

Exclusively Seabourne - Lanzarote is like no other place in the world. Craters and contorted lava flows thrown up during massive volcanic eruptions 250 years ago cover three quarters of the island's 324-square-mile surface. The area has been declared a national park and is a must for every visitor to Lanzarote.

Depart Arrecife from the "marble wharf" past numerous small bays and the fishing of Puerto del Carmen, a popular resort with three beautiful beaches. Then leave the high-rises behind to concentrate on one of nature's fascinating works - Montana de Fuego (Mountain of Fire) in the Timanfaya National Park. Ride a camel up the slopes of a volcano cone to see the tortured and beautiful lunar landscape spread out below. Continue to Islote de Hilario for a fascinating demonstration of how volcanic cinders just below the surface are hot enough to kindle wood and produce steam, proof of the violent forces beneath the earth's crust. Heat still rises through vents in the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions that occurred between 1730 and 1736.

Next, stop at Janubio for views of a salt pit crater whose natural lagoon receives its water supply from the sea. Since rain is rare, farmers have devised ingenious cultivation methods to grow vegetables in fields of black lava pellets watered only by sea mists. Grapes thrive in cinder pits called zocos, as porous lava granules allow dew to filter down to the roots. The result is a fresh, golden wine known as Malvasia.

Exclusively Seabourne - Sway to a colorful Moroccan evening of local music, sword and candle dances, gourmet specialists and belly dancers.

Exclusively Seabourne - Admire St. Michael's Cave, one of Europe's most spectacular natural grottos, during a private gala with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment Band.
