Our 18-night voyage around the Iberian Peninsula to the shores of Italy offers glimpses of the past and future in equal measure. We'll ease you in gently with time to bask on the beaches of Portimão before crossing the water to the north coast of Africa, visiting cosmopolitan Tangier in Morocco, followed by the Spanish enclave of Melilla, to explore the fort and secret tunnels, and, after a day at sea, La Goulette, Tunisia, close to the ruins of the ancient city of Carthage. Now we enter Italian waters at Cagliari, which introduces us to the scenic island of Sardinia, with its mix of medieval mystery and gorgeous beaches. Pretty Mahón on the Spanish island of Menorca beckons, then Valencia on the Spanish mainland, a city renowned for its futuristic architecture, followed by the lively Catalan port of Barcelona, and the fishing town of Palamós, famous for its juicy red prawns. A relaxing day at sea brings us to ritzy Cannes, to follow in the footsteps of movie stars along the promenade. The razzle of the Riviera continues in Monte Carlo, home to gleaming superyachts and that world-famous casino. Crossing into Italy, we visit La Spezia, gateway to the colorful seaside villages of the Cinque Terre. An overnight in the Tuscan port of Livorno puts trips to the world-leading museums and galleries of Florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the famous vineyards of Chianti all within grasp. We then make a quick hop to picturesque Calvi on Corsica’s northwest coast before sailing back to Civitavecchia, our journey’s end.

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.
