Cruise Description

Cruise the Atlantic Isles

Island hop around the Atlantic on this immersive Azamara voyage. Begin in idyllic Gran Canaria and go to the old city center of Vegueta to walk down the same streets as Columbus did 500 years ago. A notoriously festive destination, Tenerife is the biggest, most well-known of Spain's Canary Islands—and the nightlife is yours to discover on a late stay. Aptly nicknamed “pretty island,” La Palma promises beautiful beaches, volcanic backdrops, and some of the world’s best stargazing.

Your next stop is Madeira, Portugal, for an overnight stay. Take a high-tech cable car up to Monte, in the hills overlooking Funchal, and descend by traditional wicker basket sledge. Next, it’s over to Morocco to explore the secluded beaches of Agadir and the vintage romance of Casablanca. Next, the Mediterranean gateway of Gibraltar welcomes you with the iconic limestone “Rock of Gibraltar” rising out of the sea. Sample some local sherry in Cadiz, Spain, then conclude your voyage in lovely Lisbon. 

Cruise Highlights

In Tenerife, travel by cable car to the top of Spain’s highest peak, and explore the cultural capital of La Laguna.

Take in the many landscapes and attractions of Gran Canaria, where a third of the island is under protection as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. 

From Cadiz, visit Seville, where the locals are devoted to bullfighting, flamenco, and fiesta. 

Spend your days lingering in European style cafes along Agadir’s flower-lined streets, or immerse yourself in Berber culture at one of the many souks.

Walk cobbled streets to discover hand-crafted pottery, then insert yourself into the hustle and bustle of modern Casablanca with a picnic in sunny Octagon Square.

Make your way to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar (be it by cable car or foot) for stunning views, St. Michaels Cave, and Barbary macaques.
