Golf pro on this cruise: Roland Becker - more about our pros

In terms of golf, this cruise truly has it all. From the south-east of Spain and a detour to the northern coast of Morocco, it’s back to mainland Europe in the south of Portugal. A golfing adventure that goes south, then north and back south again. In addition to the actual game of golf, the exciting flora and fauna are bound to leave lasting impressions.

  • Thu 22.05.2025 Malaga, Spain – Torrequebrada Golf Club
    This golfing challenge is located in the heart of the Costa del Sol. Eighteen impressive fairways present themselves with very sweeping fairways, which present their pitfalls due to the clearly modulated ground conditions dictated by nature. On the way to the generous greens, well-placed bunkers and lakes have to be avoided. Almost always past subtropical vegetation, which repeatedly accompanies the generously designed playing areas on both sides.

    Fri 23.05.2025 Tangier, Morocco – Al Houara Golf Club
    The sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean permanently blows over to this 27-hole course that promises Moroccan golf adventures. The Indian golf professional Vijay Singh and his Australian colleague Graham Marsh have transformed the existing dune landscape into a very special golfing paradise – 27 very different holes that are a mixture of links and parkland courses. The value of the fairway experiences increase significantly in proportion to the distance from the Atlantic Ocean. That is to say: the further inland you play, the more formative the visual impressions become, representing the original dune landscape with the view back towards the ocean. Just take a look around the grounds.

    Sat 24.05.2025 Portimao, Portugal – Amenodoeira Golf Resort Oceanico O’Connor Junior Course –additional course
    Christy O’Connor Junior has designed a championship course with plenty of water contact. On 14 of the 18 fairways alone, the game is influenced by eight artificial water hazards on the grounds. The Irishman O’Connor has designed the course in the American tradition – spacious, with very wide fairways, well-placed bunkers and large but very modulated greens. If you want to emerge victorious, you’ll need to play tactically – that’s the motto here.

    Sun 25.05.2025 Lisbon, Portugal – Belas Clube de Campo
    Nestled in the picturesque countryside, Belas Golf Club was designed by renowned architect Rocky Roquemore and is known for its strategically placed fairways and greens; experience an exciting round of golf while enjoying the fantastic flora and fauna of northern Lisbon.
