What to expect

The highlights of this cruise

Prepare to be spoilt by the charm of Spanish and Portuguese towns on this route along the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean.

Your 13-day dream cruise begins in the maritime city of Hamburg, the home port of the EUROPA 2, where the crew will warmly welcome you on board. After a relaxing day at sea, you will see Dover from afar early in the morning, the first destination of your cruise. Experience the famous white cliffs on a hike* or on an excursion to marvellous Canterbury* with its world-famous cathedral and pilgrimage site. The Isle of Wight off the south coast of Great Britain welcomes you with the enchanting Crab Cottage* – enjoy a typical English cream tea here. St Malo, the old town that was once home to the corsairs, still looks like a medieval sea fortress today. You will also fall in love with picturesque Dinan* featuring one of the most beautiful old towns in Brittany. With the Gothic Catedral de Santiago and outstanding art in the fantastic Guggenheim Museum*, Bilbao, the largest city of the Basque Country, is one of the highlights of your cruise. Those interested in culture will feel at home both in Leixoes, the port of Porto, and in Lisbon: the two cities boast magnificent buildings, lively old city centres and charming features such as historic trams. The old town* of Cadiz welcomes you with Andalusian flair and African charm. Ronda*, steeped in history with its magnificent buildings and monuments, is well worth a visit from Marbella. Mingle with high society in the luxury harbour of Puerto Banus on an extended active Segway tour*. The Andalusian city of Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, is the conclusion of your cruise, which ends here after a final overnight stay on board.

This route presents the whole range of European golfing opportunities – from the classic English golfing experience to French parkland settings before concluding in Spain on the Atlantic coast with a special Spanish experience. This championship course was refurbished in 2023, when the elite of female golf competed there for the Solheim Cup.

  • Thu,16.07.2026, Dover, England, Great Britain – Prince’s Golf Club
    East of London, directly on the coast, 27 holes are laid out in British links style. Nine holes are divided into Shore, Dunes and Himalayas courses. All fairways lie parallel to the beach, close together, interrupted only by a some heather and dune areas that pop up like small deserts next to the fairways and repeatedly create so-called “wasteland”. Otherwise, the course is very straightforward with the typical undulations.

    Sat, 18.07.2026, St Malo, France – Saint Malo Golf Club
    The spacious 18-hole parkland course is located in the heart of Brittany. The fairways have integrated the original terrain into their surfaces. The accompanying terrain alternates between granite rocks, lakes, trees and bunkers. Even though the width of the fairways is well above normal, you will still have to apply highly forward-looking course management on the round. Those who follow this will have a lot of fun on the course.

    Mon, 20.07.2026, Bilbao, Spain – Uraburu Golf
    The elongated course layout runs through a valley in the Basque Country and is surrounded by mountains. The 18 holes are repeatedly bordered by oak and conifer trees, some of which are 100 years old. But that’s not all; the course has numerous water holes and bunkers that need to be played around or over. Otherwise, if you don’t place your shots, you’ll need a “replenishment” from the bag. On the second tee, a par 3 with a length of 141 m (154 yd), a 125 m (137) long water hole spreads out behind the tee and creates a challenging play.

    Sun, 26.07.2026, Marbella – (Puerto Banus) – Club de Finca Cortesin
    This championship course is located just above Marbella and features an American-style resort feel. The venue for the Solheim Cup 2023 is embedded in the natural surroundings with wide fairways and over 100 bunkers. Accordingly, the fairways are all very clearly modelled and thus ensure constantly changing playing positions. In contrast to the ladies of the Solheim Cup, amateur players can also enjoy stunning views into the distance throughout the round.
