About This Cruise
The 10 Night A Journey of Coastal Elegance & Cultural Contrasts is a 10-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Barcelona, calling at 7 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Alicante), Portugal (Lisbon), Morocco (Tangier) and Spain (Malaga, Valencia, Palma De Mallorca and 1 more).
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 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
