About This Cruise
The 10 Night A Journey of Mediterranean Spirit & Cultural Exploration is a 10-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Barcelona, calling at 7 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Alicante), Portugal (Lisbon), Spain (Malaga), Morocco (Tangier, Tangier), Algeria (Algiers) and Spain (Palma De Mallorca, Barcelona).
Because it's round-trip from Barcelona, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
