Become immersed in the joys of Lisbon by visiting the capital city’s most well-known attractions and neighborhoods, watching a traditional Fado performance and exploring palaces in the nearby foothills.

Note: This program does include some walking at times over uneven ground or steps. It is not recommended for guests who require sole use of a wheelchair, walker or motorized scooter.

DAY 1

Following disembarkation from the ship in Lisbon you will pass through some of Portugal’s most inspiring countryside on the way to Mafra. Here, at the revered Palace of Mafra, which was constructed of local limestone and marble in the 18th Century, you will behold priceless art and period furnishings that were characteristic of the royal lifestyle. At one time, the palace also served as a Franciscan monastery.

After visiting the extraordinary palace, you will continue even deeper into the countryside to the winery “Adega Mãe”: a temple built to honour wine. During the visit, you will know the production process of both white and red wines and be able to take a peek into the greatness of the storage and fermentation vats, the lab and go through the Time Room, where wines rest, and aromas mix with the scent of the French oak barrels. At the end of the tour enjoy a tasting on the cellar’s noble room, with wide windows that provide an unforgettable view of the mountains of Socorro and Archeira.

Following lunch at the winery, you will travel to your hotel along a spectacularly scenic coastal route. Following check-in, the remainder of the day and dinner will be on your own to enjoy as you please.

Your hotel is a luxury boutique hotel born on the site of the former governor's house of the Tower of Belém. Enjoy two swimming pools, a restaurant beneath vaulted ceilings, and a modern spa. Located near the Tagus River and top museums, this refined retreat blends history, culture, and comfort for an unforgettable experience.

DAY 2

After departing from the hotel, meet your guide and begin the scenic drive towards the Belem Quarter, where you can admire the Monument of Discoveries, the Tower of Belém and Jeronimos Monastery. Continuing on to downtown Lisbon, you will pass lovely Liberdade Avenue, the elegant shopping area of Chiado and the heart of the commercial area, Praça do Comércio and Alfama. Stop to taste the traditional pastry - pastéis de nata.

Alfama takes its name from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning fountains or baths. It contains many important historical attractions and traditional Fado restaurants along its narrow and winding streets. The medieval Castle of São Jorge overlooks the Alfama and offers one of the best views of the city.

Also see Lisbon Cathedral, also known as the Sé. Although it looks like a medieval fortress, the interior is glorious and includes the font where St. Anthony of Padua was supposedly baptized in the 12th Century. Note: an interior visit is not made.

By midday, you will return to the hotel to relax and grab some lunch (on own).

Enjoy the amenities of your luxurious resort, which was once the private residence of the Count of Valencas. Lapa Palace Hotel is conveniently located within an easy drive to many of Lisbon’s attractions.

The entertainment for the evening will be at a typical Fado restaurant. Here, you will enjoy a traditional Portuguese dinner and watch a Fado show. Fado is Portuguese folk music that is melancholy by nature and usually played on guitars and mandolins. The lyrics tend to be poetic and involve themes such as love and sadness.

Following this authentic cultural experience, you will return to the hotel for the evening.

DAY 3

After departing from the hotel, you will drive to Sintra, a beautiful town nestled in the forested foothills of the Sintra mountains. Your experience here begins with free time to wander about the atmospheric streets, enjoy the sweeping views and thoroughly relax.

Not far away, you will find Pena Palace, a landmark that was built in the 19th century to be a royal summer home. Inside and out, it looks like an eccentric mix of different castle styles and features. Now hailed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Portugal’s Seven Wonders, the flamboyant palace exemplifies 19th-century Romantic architecture, inside and out.

Following your visit to Pena Palace, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Lunch and dinner are on your own. Note: Interior visit at the palace is self-guided.

DAY 4

Following breakfast and check-out you will be transferred to the Lisbon International Airport for your flight home. Transfers will be set up based on the flight details provided.

Experience Morocco at its most captivating on this immersive overnight journey from Agadir to Casablanca. From the palaces, souks, and World Heritage sites to a camel ride through peaceful palm groves and the grandeur of Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque, this program blends culture, cuisine, and timeless Moroccan charm into two unforgettable days ashore.

DAY 1

Disembark in Agadir, meet your guide and settle in for the three-hour journey to Marrakech.

In Marrakech, begin with a visit to the Koutoubia Mosque, admired for its majestic 12th-century minaret — the tallest structure in the city and one of the finest examples of Almohad architecture. Its design later inspired the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat.

Continue to the Bahia Palace, a magnificent 19th-century residence built for Grand Vizier Si Moussa and later expanded by his son Ba Ahmed. The palace’s name, meaning “Brilliance,” reflects its exquisite craftsmanship, with intricate stucco work, carved cedar ceilings, marble courtyards, and serene Andalusian gardens. Once intended to be the most beautiful palace of its time, it remains a remarkable testament to Moroccan artistry and refinement.

Next, visit the elegant Dar El Bacha Museum, a former palace of the powerful Pasha of Marrakech. Today, it showcases the refined art of Moroccan craftsmanship, with beautifully restored salons, zellige tilework, carved wood, and decorative stucco, offering insight into the city’s political and cultural history in the early 20th century.

In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the bustling Medina and traditional souks, where artisans continue centuries-old traditions in metalwork, leather, textiles, and spices. This vibrant maze of colors, sounds, and scents offers an authentic glimpse into daily Moroccan life.

Enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at the renowned Dar Essalam Restaurant, an iconic setting celebrated for its refined cuisine and cinematic heritage. The restaurant famously appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” adding a touch of timeless glamour to this cultural experience.

Continue to the legendary Jemaa El Fna Square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As evening falls, the square transforms into an open-air theatre filled with storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, and food stalls serving local specialties. Thereafter proceed to your hotel for check-in and some time to refresh before rejoining the group for a horse-drawn carriage ride through the illuminated streets. Enjoy dinner and soak in the city’s enchanting nightlife, before returning to your hotel.

DAY 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, settle any incidentals and check out before meeting your guide. The day begins with a visit to Palmeraie of Marrakech, a vast palm grove on the city’s outskirts offering a peaceful escape and a glimpse into Morocco’s traditional way of life. Upon arrival, meet your camel caravan and enjoy a relaxed ride through the palm groves, surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil scenery. The gentle pace of the camels and the calm of the oasis create a serene and authentic Moroccan experience.

After the ride, unwind in a local camp and enjoy a traditional Moroccan breakfast served with mint tea and fresh local treats before continuing your journey toward Casablanca, Morocco’s modern and cosmopolitan city. Drive time is approximately three-hours.

Upon arrival, enjoy a panoramic drive through Casablanca’s elegant boulevards, passing by the Corniche seafront, the Anfa residential area, and United Nations Square — symbols of the city’s contemporary spirit.

A highlight of the day is the visit to the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most impressive mosques in the world. Standing proudly on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it showcases Morocco’s architectural mastery and spiritual grace.

Conclude your day with a delicious Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant before transferring to the pier for re-embarkation on your ship, carrying unforgettable memories of Morocco — from the tranquil palm groves of Marrakech to the vibrant coastal charm of Casablanca.

•Modest dress is recommended, especially when visiting cultural or religious sites. While visiting Hassan II Mosque please make sure the knees and shoulders are covered.

•Tipping is customary and appreciated when good service is provided.
