Combine a pleasant walk in the fresh air with an exploration of some of Barcelona's most notable sights on an outing that begin with a short coach ride from the port. You'll then set off on a guided stroll, with the first landmark being the Columbus Monument at the lower end of La Rambla avenue. The 60 m/197 ft. monument was constructed in 1888 in honour of Columbus' first voyage to the New World. You'll then continue down La Rambla en route to Barcelona's Barri Gòtic and the Neoclassical town hall at Plaça Sant Jaume. Next up are outside views of the Gothic Cathedral of Santa Eulàlia - Barcelona Cathedral - and information on this key site. Last on your walking itinerary is Plaça de Catalunya in the middle of town, just the place to indulge in a little retail therapy. At this point, you can choose whether to remain in the city and make your own way back to the ship or to join your guide on the walk back down La Rambla to board the coach for the transfer back to the port.

Get up close and personal with the streets and iconic sights of Barcelona, from the saddle of a bike. As you follow your bike leader around the city's network of cycle paths, you'll find it's a really relaxed way of exploring. Enjoy great views of the harbour and have a glimpse of Montjuic castle from below, marvel at Antoni Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, the immense Sagrada Familia, and trundle past quirky boutiques, antique shops, and tiny tapas bars in the city's Gothic Quarter. Cycle to the Museum of Art, and past the Olympic Harbour, and see the Statue of Columbus, the Arc de Triumph and Gaudí's wave-shaped Casa Mila townhouse. You'll also visit Las Ramblas, the famous boulevard buzzing with flower sellers, street artists and buskers, and there'll be time for a refuelling stop at a tapas or seafood bar along the way too.

E stands for easy-going, entertaining, and electrically assisted - three terms that also describe the nature of this half-day tour, which sets out to present the very best of Barcelona from a variety of perspectives. The first of your electrically assisted exploration aids will come in the form of an eBike, which you will pick up and then use to ride through the city and up to the cable car station at the top of Montjuïc Hill, the best vantage point for views of the city. You will also get to have an outside look at the 17th-century Montjuïc Castle before heading back down the hill by cable car to reach the seaside to taste tapas with a drink. You will then pass through Ciutadella Park and the magnificent Arc de Triomf en route to one of Antoni Gaudí's most celebrated architectural designs: the Sagrada Família. You will have some free time to explore before moving on to the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona's most notable boulevards with external view of Casa Milà.

End your cruise on a high note by taking this opportunity to touch base with the fascinating city of Barcelona before you catch your flight at El Prat International Airport. You'll be able to relax on board a modern coach while the sights of Barcelona are paraded past your eyes. The route will take you past the Passeig de Gràcia boulevard, Gaudí's unfinished Sagrada Família and Plaça de Catalunya in the centre of town. Then, heading out of town, you'll reach Montjuïc Hill for a photo stop to enjoy incredible views of Barcelona. Returning to the city again, you'll then get to stretch your legs on a guided walk through the old Barri Gòtic and have some free time to spend on your own. The tour ultimately draws to a close with your transfer to El Prat International Airport.

An entertaining day of cultural sightseeing awaits you here, starting with a 1.5-hour coach ride to the historical city of Girona. You'll head for the excellently preserved Jewish quarter for an external look at the Isaac el Cec Jewish Centre, the site of 12th-century Romanesque baths, also called the Arab Baths due to their Moorish appearance. Moving on again, you'll then head for the town of Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí. Once in town, you'll first have time to get lunch on your own, after which you'll pay the fascinating Dalí Theatre and Museum a visit. The museum incorporates the building that housed the town's theatre during Dalí's childhood and is also the place where one of the young artist's first public exhibitions was staged. Apart from giving you a chance to view a huge collection of Dalí works, including 3D installations like the Rainy Taxi and the anamorphic room  the Sala Mae West  in which the face of Mae West is revealed when viewed from a certain angle, the museum is also Dalí's final resting place with the crypt located under the stage. The tour then wraps up with your return to Barcelona and your ship. Please note: this tour is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties or using a wheelchair.

Make a date with Barcelona to explore the beautiful cityscape, enjoy a taste of Iberian flavours and take a ride on the underground on this culture-centric outing. After meeting your guide, you'll first take a shuttle bus to reach the drop-off point in the city centre. Then you'll continue your journey by underground to take a look at the amazing Sagrada Família, masterminded by the visionary architect Antoni Gaudí and yet to be finished. You'll also have some time to spend as you please before continuing on by underground to Plaza Universidad, the perfect starting point for a stroll down the famous Las Ramblas avenue. Moving on again, you can then check out the bustling Boqueria Market on your own after a briefing by your guide. Next up is a real taste of Barcelona at Moniberic, an establishment founded to showcase delicious Iberian hams. Try three jamóns plus a drink before walking through the historical Barri Gòtic to El Born, where mouth-watering tapas await you. Finally, you'll catch a shuttle bus back to the ship.

This family-friendly tour offers half a day of seeing the best city sights, but without putting the usual strain on your feet since you will mostly be comfortably seated on a modern coach. The tour begins at Barcelona's Columbus monument, situated at one end of La Rambla Avenue. You'll then head down the equally magnificent Passeig de Gràcia boulevard before continuing your sightseeing with more attractions on the list including the Sagrada Família, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló, all designed by Antoni Gaudí: your guide will call attention to them as you pass by. After passing through the Olympic ring, splendid views of the city follow from Montjuïc hill, where a short photo stop is scheduled. You will then move on to the Port Vell district to visit Barcelona Aquarium, a huge facility that supports around 11.000 animals representing 450 species of marine wildlife. Be sure to check out the shark tunnel and tanks with rays and other large fish during your unguided visit, after which you'll still have time to do some shopping at the co-located Maremàgnum shopping mall. The tour then wraps up with your return to the ship.

Among the must-sees during your stay in North Africa is the historical coastal city of Rabat, which is not only the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco, but also the country's third-largest metropolis with a population of around 650.000 inhabitants. After boarding a coach at the port in Casablanca, a 1.5-hour drive will first take you north to reach your destination, the seat of the Moroccan government and the King's residence: the city of Rabat. Your guided tour of the capital's main highlights begins at Grand Mechouar Official Square and then moves on to Hassan Tower, the minaret of what was once intended to become the world's largest mosque when building began in 1195. Only four years later, construction work stopped when the sultan died and all that remains now of the ambitious building project are the beginnings of several walls and around 300 unfinished columns. A visit to the elegantly white Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which contains the tombs of the late Moroccan king along with his two sons, as well as the manicured gardens belonging to the Kasbah of the Udayas round out your guided tour before you head back to Casablanca and your ship.

Spend some time off the ship to experience a day of oriental splendour as you leave Casablanca to visit not one, but two nearby cities: Azemmour and El Jadida. Located on the banks of the River Oum Er-Rbia, Azemmour is about a 1-hour coach drive from Casablanca and your first stop. The old city looks back on centuries of history, including a period spent under Portuguese rule in the late 15th-century. A short walk through the town's historical medina will give you a chance to have a look at products made by gifted Berber craftsmen. Moving on again, the coach will whisk you off to your second port of call: the nearby city of El Jadida, which was once known as Mazagan. The winning blend of Moorish and Portuguese influences found in much abundance about town is due to a lengthy period under Portuguese rule, lasting from 1502 to 1769. Cited as an "outstanding example of the interchange of influences between European and Moroccan cultures", the city was placed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2004. Next up is a visit to the city's almost cathedral-like Portuguese Cistern, a water reservoir with internal arches built in 1514. The domed ceiling mirrored in the shallow layer of water on the floor creates a mesmerising  and memorable  effect. A walk through the city's historical medina will be followed by a typical Moroccan lunch, after which the tour draws to a close with your return to Casablanca and your ship.

Located in western Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean, the huge city of Casablanca is already a remarkable sight during the day, but at night, the place lights up in an array of different colours that will astound you. This coach-based sightseeing tour plus dinner will take you through the magical nighttime city, with a first stop made at Mohamed V square for you to take some photos. The route then flanks Arab League Park, continues down Moulay Youssef Avenue, one of Casablanca's largest thoroughfares, and noted for its elegant Art Deco- and Neo-Moorish-inspired architecture. A second photo stop is scheduled at the world-famous Hassan II Mosque, which is lit up at night for maximum effect. As one of the world's largest mosques, the immense building has room for up to 25.000 people inside and for another 80.000 in the courtyard. A drive down Casablanca's famous Corniche will then take you to the restaurant where dinner awaits. Look forward to an authentic Moroccan ambience, complete with candlelight and hand-painted decorations, while you enjoy the delicious food to the sight and sound of Arab Andalusian music and belly dancer. The tour then ends with your return to the port and your ship.

This tour of two cities is a great way to see the key sights of Casablanca, the country's largest metropolis and main port, as well as Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Starting in Casablanca, a first stop will be made at Mohamed V Square and Hassan II Mosque, the third largest in the world with enough room to accommodate 25.000 worshippers inside and a further 80.000 in its capacious courtyard. Its dramatic appearance is further enhanced by its stunning location on a promontory jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Casablanca leg then continues with a drive through the fashionable oceanfront Corniche and Anfa areas to the Habbous quarter for a good look around a bazaar or at a local natural pharmacy. There will also be time for a delicious lunch on this all-day tour before you head to Rabat, about a 1.5-hour drive to the north, to enjoy this city's best sights. These include the beautiful Mausoleum of Mohamed V, an elegant building of dazzling white, as well as Hassan Tower, the incomplete minaret of an equally unfinished mosque that dates back to the early 12th-century. A number of half-finished walls and the beginnings of some 300 columns are all that remain of this grand design today. Stops will also be made at the beautiful Kasbah of the Udayas as well as at the Royal Palace for an outside peek at the impressive building. Return to the port.

Situated an approx. 3-hour coach drive from the port of Casablanca lies the vibrant city of Marrakech, also called the "Pearl of the South". Included in the tour itinerary are some of Marrakech's key sights, including the beautifully decorated Saadian tombs and the magnificent late 19th-century Bahia Palace and gardens. A stop will be made for you to enjoy a reviving lunch, after which the tour continues on to its final destination: Marrakech's bustling Jamaa el-Fna Square. This old marketplace in the city's medina quarter is teeming with life. Traders, snake charmers, acrobats, jugglers, storytellers, magicians, musicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines: this place has the lot. Before returning to Casablanca, you will break for a short visit to a Berber pharmacy.

Founded by the Carthaginian who called the city "Anfa", Casablanca as it is today is the result of rebuilding work carried out after a devastating earthquake in 1755. This city excursion will take you on a panoramic tour through the main streets and squares of Casablanca with a short stop at the Habous quarters and a local market to have a glimpse of everyday life in the city. We will visit the beautiful Cathedral of Notre Dame de Lourdes and the highlight of the excursion will be a visit to the magnificent Mosque of Hassan II, the largest mosque in the Islamic world after Mecca. Your tour ends with a shopping stop before returning to the port.

A day to spend in Casablanca, the ancient Carthaginian city and today a modern and dynamic metropolis, awaits you on this excursion that allows you to discover it in complete freedom. All you need is a map of the city and a clear idea of what you want to visit first. Casablanca offers its visitors a wide range of opportunities for culture, ancient history, and shopping. A coach will follow an itinerary with stops at three of Casablanca's main points: the Mosque of Hassan II, the Morocco Mall, and the Grand Bazaar. You can then start at the Mosque of Hassan II, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, and after your visit, take the bus again to go shopping at the Morocco Mall or the Grand Bazaar. A souvenir to take home is a must.

Joining this enjoyable half-day tour will see you leave the present-day capital of Tenerife and instead head for San Cristóbal de La Laguna, its former capital until 1723. You'll first spend about 30 minutes on a coach to reach the thriving town, which is inscribed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is Tenerife's main religious and academic hub. As you walk through the historical town centre, you'll pass the Church of the Convent of Santa Catalina, the marketplace, the Cathedral, and the Episcopal Palace. You'll then visit Casa Lercaro and the Museum of History and Anthropology of Tenerife. Apart from showcasing artefacts that chart the island's development from the 15th- to the 20th-century, the museum is also reputed to house an "exhibit" of the spine-tingling kind: a ghost! The spectre in question is alleged to be the spirit of Catalina Lercaro, whose forced marriage to a much older man in the 16th- century ended in her tragic suicide in the grounds of the villa on the day of the wedding. After the visit, 30 minutes free time will be yours to explore on your own before the coach returns you to Santa Cruz.

This full day tour begins with a scenic drive in a coach inland through the lushly forested area known as La Esperanza to reach El Portillo, the natural gateway to the circular Las Cañadas del Teide Natural Park where the volcanic Mount Teide, reaching 3.718 metres above sea level, is also located. After a stop to take picture, board the coach again and drive through the Park en route to Roque de García, a group of rock formations shaped by erosion within Las Cañadas caldera. You will stop to admire the incredible geolofical formation known as el Dedo de Dios, which translates as "The Finger of God", a good opportunity to enrich your photographic album of memories. Continue through the Orotava Valley to reach a restaurant near Puerto de la Cruz for an invigorating lunch. A veritable paradise of plant life then awaits you at Puerto de la Cruz: the wonderful botanical gardens and their profusion of tropical plants. Founded in 1788, it is one of the most beautiful gardens in Tenerife with a special collection of native plants, as well as tropical and subtropical plants that are perfectly adapted to the climate of the island. The garden keeps a herbarium of Canarian flora with more than 37.000 specimens and promotes research programmes on Canarian flora. The return to the port concludes your day among the natural beauties of Tenerife.

Leave the port and enjoy a scenic coach drive that takes you inland through the lushly forested area known as La Esperanza to reach El Portillo, the natural gateway to the circular Las Cañadas mountain range. Enjoy a stop for a coffee break while admiring the stunning scenery. This is also where the volcanic Mount Teide is located, whose summit reaches a dizzying height of 3.781 metres above sea level. Your tour then continues on to the rock of Mirador, known also as el Dedo de Dios, which translates as "The Finger of God". A brief photo stop will be made at this incredible geological formation. During your drive back to the port further breathtaking views of the lovely island of Tenerife to enjoy on the way.

Board a coach and enjoy a drive through the lush vegetation of Tenerife's beautiful and rugged landscape to the Loro Parque, or parrot park in English. Situated on the outskirts of Puerto de la Cruz, it counts as one of the most important wildlife parks in Europe. Originally opened in 1972 with the aim of being a parrot paradise, it has since grown not just in area, but also in the wide variety of species it supports. Apart from officially boasting "the most diverse collection of parrots in the world", the park is also home to primates, jaguars and tigers, reptiles, exotic fish, and sea horses as well as sea lions and dolphins, to name but a few. You will have sufficient time to explore the park on your own or with your family and enjoy its attractions, such as the popular sea lion and dolphin shows.

Tenerife is the largest of Spain's Canary Islands, off the Atlantic coast of West Africa. It's dominated by Mount Teide, a dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak. The island has many beaches with sands from yellow to black, resort areas and an incredible lush nature. After leaving the port, you will drive north to Anaga Mountains with some stops at two viewpoints, La Jardina and Cruz Del Carmen, giving you the chance to add more pictures to your memory book. Continue through Anaga Mountains and Las Mercedes forest en route to the Mirador Pico del Inglés at about 990 m/3250 ft. above mean sea level. Next, head for San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife's former capital until 1723, for a short walking tour and some free time to explore on your own. In a local bodega you will stop for a tasting session of local cheese, bread, and wine. The return to the port ends your excursion.

Spend half of your day in Tenerife for a thrilling exploration of marine wildlife on an enjoyable tour that will commence with a 1-hour coach drive to Puerto Colón. Located on the south of the island, Puerto Colón will be the starting point of your marine adventure; board a catamaran and reach an area inhabited by dolphins only 3 miles from the coast. The catamaran will drop the anchor and you will have the chance to observe these extraordinary creatures that, although belonging to a species that is normally migratory, have chosen this stretch of water between the lands of Tenerife and La Gomera as their "home" because of the calm waters and abundance of food. After this amazing experience you will move to "Cala Spaghetti", a protected bay where the catamaran will anchor and you will have some time to relax in the sun, sipping a refreshing drink, or to take a dive into the sea. You will finally sail along the coast to reach Puerto Colón and your coach that will take you back to your cruise ship.

Discover Tenerife's nature-given beauty on this exciting jeep adventure, which begins when you board a modern 4x4 vehicle at the pier and set off along a road noted for its hairpin bends. Look forward to spectacular views as you travel through the mountains en route to the village of San Andrés. A stop is scheduled at the Mirador Bailadero, a great place to take photos, followed by Taganana, a pretty hillside village with views of the sea and little white houses that cluster around the Church of Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, one of the oldest on the island. Moving on again, the next brief stop is scheduled at Playa de Almáciga, a volcanic black-sand beach, after which a scenic route will see you reach Roque Negro, the name of both a village and a large rock that dominates the landscape. As a final treat, you can then soak up incredible views of the entire island at the Mirador Pico del Inglés at about 990 m/3250 ft. above mean sea level. The return journey will then give you a chance to relax, enjoy more lovely views and briefly stop in La Laguna, the second important town of the island, before returning to the ship.

Join us on an excursion that promises to allow you close-ups with the enchanting nature of Tenerife. A scenic coach drive will take you to "El Teide National Park", named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
