About This Cruise
The 11 Night A Journey of Iberian Heart, Moroccan Adventure & Volcanic Isles is a 11-night round-trip itinerary aboard Explora I. You board and return in Barcelona, calling at 8 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Spain (Barcelona, Valencia), Morocco (Casablanca, Agadir), Canary Islands (Arrecife, Tenerife), Madeira (Funchal) and Spain (Cadiz, 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 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
