Cruise Description

Our Journey Planners have designed this cruise to offer you the opportunity to learn about the rich maritime history of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula and to experience local traditions and food and drink in their place of origin. You can learn about the Conquest of Ceuta, led by Henry the Navigator. Borealis will also sail past the Belém Tower in Lisbon, a monument that marked the start and end of many voyages during the Age of Discovery. You’ll also visit Casablanca, affording the chance to discover the ancient Moroccan storytelling art form of Halqa; Malaga – olive oil capital of the world; Lisbon, where you can bake authentic pastéis de nata with a local pastry chef; and Cádiz, the home of tapas and flamenco.
