Join us on a unique journey combining the stunning natural beauty of the Canary Islands and Madeira with the Moorish treasures of Morocco and the ancient bastion of Gibraltar. Board the deluxe, exclusively chartered m.s. Le Diamant in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, and commence your relaxing seven-night cruise to the Andalusian port of Malaga, Spain. Admire the Spanish colonial architecture and dramatic scenery of the islands of Tenerife and La Palma, formed millions of years ago through the activity of submarine volcanoes. On the verdant paradise of Madeira, taste the island’s full-bodied, namesake wine and view the stunning cliffs of Cabo Girao. Past and present blend in the Moroccan cities of Casablanca and Rabat, and the Rock of Gibraltar still stands as an outpost of the British Empire.  You may enhance your travel experience with an exclusive pre-program option to Madrid and Las Palmas and a post-program option featuring the Moorish monuments of Granada and Seville.  Complete Brochure.
