Hapag-Lloyd Cruises

Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Santa Cruz de Tenerife

   Depart 22:00

   Spain

   

   Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the cosmopolitan capital of the Canary Islands, balances volcanic grandeur with refined urban pleasures — from the Santiago Calatrava–designed Auditorio rising beside the Atlantic to the ancient dragon tree at Icod de los Vinos and the World Heritage Teide volcano looming above the island. The city's Carnival, second in scale only to Rio de Janeiro's, erupts each February in spectacular costumes and street revelry. Local wines from the volcanic slopes, wrinkled potatoes with mojo verde, and fresh Atlantic fish define the island's culinary character. November through April offers reliably warm, sun-drenched conditions.

2. Day 2

   San Sebastian de la Gomera

   Arrive 08:00Depart 19:30

   Spain

   

   San Sebastian de la Gomera is the Canarian port from which Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492, gateway to the UNESCO-listed Garajonay laurel cloud forest and the whistled language of Silbo Gomero. Must-dos include hiking through the primeval Garajonay forest, hearing a Silbo Gomero demonstration, and tasting almogrote cheese spread with palm honey. Visit March through May for ideal hiking conditions and wildflowers.

3. Day 3

   Santa Cruz de la Palma

   Arrive 06:00Depart 19:00

   Spain

   

   Santa Cruz de la Palma is the charming capital of La Palma, known for its colonial architecture and rich maritime history. Must-do experiences include savoring local dishes like "papas arrugadas" and exploring the stunning landscapes of Taburiente National Park. The best time to visit is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor adventures.

4. Day 4

   At Sea

   

5. Day 5

   Portimao

   Arrive 13:00Depart 22:00

   Portugal

   

   Portimão is the Algarve's most storied port city, where Phoenician trading heritage meets golden-cliff beaches and Portugal's finest grilled sardine tradition along the Arade River. Visitors should not miss the charcoal-grilled sardines at the riverside churrasqueiras and the dramatic sandstone formations of Praia da Rocha. The port is at its luminous best from May through October, when long Atlantic days bathe the coastline in honeyed light and the August Sardine Festival electrifies the waterfront.

6. Day 6

   Cadiz

   Arrive 08:00Depart 19:30

   Spain

   

   Cádiz, founded by Phoenician traders around 1100 BC and a strong contender for the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe, juts into the Atlantic on a narrow peninsula where honey-colored ramparts frame improbable views of open ocean and the sun sets directly into the sea. The old quarter is an intoxicating labyrinth of baroque churches, hidden plazas, and carnival spirit — Cádiz's annual February carnival is the wildest and most satirically sharp in Spain — while the tapas culture here, centered on fresh Atlantic seafood cooked with Andalusian simplicity, represents Spanish cuisine at its most elemental and joyful. Visit February for carnival or spring for gentle Atlantic breezes. Seville is ninety minutes inland by bus or rail.

7. Day 7

   Malaga

   Arrive 08:00

   Spain

   

   Málaga distils three thousand years of Mediterranean civilisation into one of Andalusia's most compelling port cities, where the Moorish Alcazaba fortress surveys a modern waterfront of elegant promenades and sun-drenched café terraces. Do not leave without visiting the Museo Picasso — the artist was born here in 1881 — and ascending to the ruined Castillo de Gibralfaro for panoramic views stretching to the Rif Mountains of Morocco on clear days. Malagueta anchovies fried in olive oil and the sweet Pedro Ximénez-laced dessert wine are the city's defining pleasures. The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer perfect Mediterranean warmth.

8. Day 8

   Depart 13:00

   Spain

The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer perfect Mediterranean warmth.

9. Day 9

   Ibiza

   Arrive 14:00Depart 23:59

   Spain

   

   Beneath Ibiza's sun-drenched reputation as the world's clubbing capital lies a layered history stretching back to Phoenician traders who settled this Balearic island in 654 BC. The UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila — the walled hilltop citadel above Eivissa town — rewards exploration with Carthaginian burial grounds, Renaissance ramparts, and sweeping Mediterranean panoramas. For quieter pleasures, the crystalline coves of the island's north, such as Cala d'en Serra and Es Portitxol, rival any beach in Europe. The Phoenician necropolis of Puig des Molins is unmissable for history devotees. The season runs May through October, with June and September offering ideal weather without peak-summer crowds.

10. Day 10

    Palma de Mallorca

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    Spain

    

    Palma de Mallorca announces itself with one of the most spectacular Gothic cathedrals in the world — La Seu, its honey-coloured sandstone buttresses rising directly from the bay, its interior modified by Antoni Gaudí and illuminated by the world's largest Gothic rose window. The old town behind it is a quarter of Arab baths, Renaissance palaces converted into boutique hotels, and the Passeig del Born — a plane-tree-shaded promenade where Balearic life conducts itself with unhurried grace. The local ensaïmada pastry and fresh sobrasada sausage from the island's black pigs are essential breakfast rituals. Visit May, June, or September: warm, brilliant, and measurably calmer than the July–August peak.

11. Day 11

    Alghero

    Arrive 13:00Depart 22:00

    Italy

    

    Alghero is Sardinia's Catalan jewel, a medieval walled town where bilingual street signs, fourteenth-century Aragonese fortifications, and the spectacular Neptune's Grotto sea cave create the island's most culturally distinctive coastal experience. Visit May through October via Silversea or Explora Journeys for sunset wall walks, the 656-step cliff descent to Neptune's Grotto, and lobster alla catalana served within the honey-colored ramparts of a city that bridges Barcelona and Sardinia.

12. Day 12

    Sardinia

    Arrive 08:00

    Italy

    

    Sardinia is a rugged, history-rich island in the western Mediterranean renowned for its luminous turquoise waters, bronze-age nuraghi towers, and a fiercely independent culinary tradition anchored by porceddu roast suckling pig and hand-pinched culurgiones pasta. Visitors should explore the Costa Smeralda's granite coves by boat and venture inland to taste Cannonau wines in centuries-old vineyards. The ideal season stretches from May through October, with late September offering warm seas, golden light, and blissful absence of peak-summer crowds.

13. Day 13

    Bonifacio

    Depart 05:00

    France

    

    Bonifacio is a dramatically cliff-perched medieval citadel at Corsica's southern tip, where Genoese ramparts tower above a fjord-like natural harbour in the turquoise Strait of Bonifacio. Visitors should descend the vertiginous Escalier du Roi d'Aragon carved into the limestone cliffs and take a boat excursion to the pristine Lavezzi archipelago nature reserve for world-class snorkelling among sculpted granite formations. The ideal window is June or September, when the Mediterranean light is at its most luminous and the narrow streets of the haute ville remain blissfully uncrowded.

14. Day 13

    Bonifacio

    Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00

    France

15. Day 14

    Civitavecchia, Rome

    Arrive 05:00

    Italy

    

    Rome's ancient maritime gateway since the Emperor Trajan commissioned its harbour in 106 AD, Civitavecchia is the natural prologue to the Eternal City — just seventy minutes southeast by express rail. The port's Renaissance fortress, designed in part by Michelangelo, anchors a working waterfront that has welcomed travellers for millennia. Beyond Rome's unmissable monuments, consider an afternoon in the Civitavecchia thermal baths, drawing on mineral waters prized since antiquity. Spring and autumn offer the ideal balance of mild weather and manageable crowds for exploring the capital's layered history.
