Our ocean-crossing adventure departs from Barcelona, calling first at pretty Mahón on the Spanish island of Menorca, then entering French waters at Ajaccio in Corsica, Napoleon’s birthplace. Italy is up next: discover the beautiful beaches of Cagliari in Sardinia and the cultural gems of Palermo in Sicily. Across to North Africa now to explore the ruins of Carthage near La Goulette in Tunisia, discover the secret caves and tunnels of the Spanish enclave of Melilla, and stroll the bustling streets of Tangier. Then comes Portugal, where we enjoy the glorious beaches of Portimão, explore Lisbon one pastel de nata at a time, and bask in the natural beauty of Ponta Delgada and Horta in the Azores. Spend time at sea indulging in Crystal Grace’s all-suite accommodation, first-rate entertainment, and world-class dining, before we reach Halifax, Nova Scotia, for a fascinating glimpse into its maritime heritage. Our journey ends in New York City, where we have two days to soak up its infectious energy.
Itinerary
Past, present, and future converge in the Catalan capital – a place steeped in centuries of history but with a palpably youthful spirit. From the Roman ruins and maze-like medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter to the wonderfully whimsical architecture of Antoni Gaudí, and the Modernist masterpieces of the Picasso Museum and Fundació Joan Miró, there are treasures old and new at every turn. The city's dining scene is an attraction unto itself: keep it low key with plates of paella and jugs of sangria by the seafront, snack on jamón ibérico and fried seafood in the street markets, or indulge in Michelin-starred tasting menus.

Cagliari, capital of Sardinia, sprawls across the hills promising awe-inspiring views for those who venture to Monte Urpinu Park. At its heart lies the historic Castello district, where a Roman amphitheater, medieval towers built by the Pisans, and a 13th-century cathedral with an intricately carved crypt sit beside the monolithic architecture of the Mussolini era. Down by the harbor, the eateries and bars in the Marina buzz with life. In Via Sardegna and Via Cavour taste local flavors such as the peppery salami mustela, salty pecorino cheese, and carta musica, a wafer-thin flatbread said to sound like music when it snaps. They all go well with a glass of cannonau or vernaccia, the island's robust wines.

Anchor
10 EXCURSIONS
The white contour of a church on a hilltop, the narrow streets of the old fishermen and tradesmen quarter, the presence of the sea and the immense beach known as Praia da Rocha identify the character of Portimao. The old town is dominated by the architecture of the late 19th and 20th centuries: houses boasting wrought-iron balconies, ornate stonework around the windows and doors, balustrades of stone and tile-covered ceramics and walls. This southern Portuguese port is the gateway to many historic towns of the Algarve region. The town offers a rich heritage of historical monuments and the eternal natural beauty of the Ria de Alvor. Portimao is also known for its extraordinary Portuguese cuisine. To savour the spirit of Portimao, there is nothing better than to sit in the shade of the trees in the gardens of Manuel Bivar, to watch the fishing boats sail by and to walk through streets and squares that exude the ambience of an active, hard-working town.
