The Mediterranean
A Journey of Iberian Scenery & Moorish Charm
A Journey of Iberian Scenery & Moorish Charm is a 9-day exploration aboard EXPLORA I, sailing from Barcelona and returning to the same port between April 3 and April 12, 2027. This journey weaves through the vibrant coasts of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, offering immersive encounters with Mediterranean rhythm and North African heritage. The itinerary begins in Barcelona, a city of art and architecture, before sailing to Palma de Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. From there, the journey continues to Málaga on Spain’s Costa del Sol, known for its lively atmosphere and historic citadel. The voyage then crosses to Tangier, Morocco—a gateway where Africa meets Europe, offering a distinctive blend of cultures and markets. A standout feature is the overnight stay in Lisbon, Portugal, allowing extended time to wander tiled streets, explore riverside neighborhoods, and enjoy golden beaches at leisure. The journey then heads to Alicante, where medieval villages and coastal cliffs frame dramatic views. Destinations are linked to broader regional identities: Palma de Mallorca reflects the Balearic Islands’ charm; Lisbon anchors the Portuguese Coast; and Tangier embodies the mystique of North Africa. While the Azores are listed as a tag, they are not visited on this itinerary. All ports are visited as intermediate stops, with no additional embarkation or disembarkation points. The journey is part of Explora Journeys’ Summer 2027 collection and is designed for travellers seeking cultural depth, coastal beauty, and unhurried exploration in the heart of the Mediterranean.
