Mediterranean
An enticing end-of-summer escape that blends the picturesque towns, historic streets and wine cellars of Portugal with glorious architecture in Spain and an exotic slice of Morocco.

anniversary of the Fred. Olsen family’s first venture in shipping. Join your
Captains, crew and fellow guests for what’s sure to be a memorable day. Casablanca Granada
Oporto
Cádiz
Enjoy three leisurely days at sea – with excitement for the main event building all the way – before Balmoral calls into Leixões. You’ll be well-placed for tours to Oporto, a city famous for having one of the most historic centres in Europe, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the centre is the Ribeira District, where narrow, cobbled lanes meander down to the Douro River. Opt for a relaxing cruise along the tranquil waters before stopping at one of the city’s cellars to taste locally produced Port Wine.
Next is Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso and the starting point for tours to uncover Granada and the striking architecture of the Alhambra Palace. Casablanca then offers to infuse your journey with an exotic flavour. An authentic way to experience this colourful Moroccan city is to make your way to the dramatic Hassan II Mosque – complete with the world’s tallest minaret – and visit the local souk.
You’ll then make your way to Cádiz. Your visit will be perfectly timed for a magnificent day of celebrations that will see the Fred. Olsen fleet reunited in the same port – for only the second time in history. To
commemorate 170 years of the company’s shipping heritage, special entertainment will take place on board and on the quayside. Savour unique menus and performances from the ships’ Show Teams and local entertainers, plus each of the ships will be open to all Fred. Olsen guests for visits too. Venturing into the city, you’ll have the chance to discover the Torre Tavira, Plaza de España, ancient centre and more.
Lisbon was named among Lonely Planet’s Top 10 cities to visit in 2017. Your call here brings more delights. Fascinating museums, captivating backstreets, architectural wonders and Art-Nouveau cafés all await. Be sure to visit Pasteis de Belém too, for a famous egg tart pastry, or venture further afield to the pretty towns of Óbidos or Sintra.
Two attractive Galician cities round off your two- week exploration. In Vigo you’ll find inspiring museums, charming plazas and a fascinating Old Town, while in El Ferrol compact, elegant streets, sandy beaches and historic maritime monuments make the city a great destination to discover before your return to Newcastle.
