The highlights of this cruise

Spain and Portugal at their best. While the EUROPA 2 offers you relaxing amenities, trendy cities on land have many special experiences in store for you.

From Bilbao in the Basque country, the EUROPA 2 sets sail for Gijon, an old seafaring city with a modern port district. In La Coruna, take the opportunity to hike along the Way of Saint James* and visit the famous place of pilgrimage Santiago de Compostela*. When the ship moors in Leixoes, the port of Porto, and immediately afterwards in Lisbon, lovers of culture and architecture will feel right at home. Both cities boast magnificent buildings, a lively old town and charming features such as a historic tram. Before the EUROPA 2 passes the Strait of Gibraltar, you will reach Cadiz, the oldest city in Europe. Stroll through the historic centre and look forward to an excursion to the Andalusian city of Seville* or to Jerez de la Frontera*, famous for its sherry. After a stay in fashionable Marbella (Puerto Banus), the EUROPA 2 sets course for the Balearic island of Ibiza. Here, varied nature as well as sun, beaches and a casual way of life combine to form the unique Ibiza lifestyle. Enriched with a wealth of unforgettable impressions, you will then reach your final destination: Barcelona. Your cruise on the EUROPA 2 ends here.
