Costa del Sol to the Canary Islands

Welcome to Spain’s famous Costa del Sol and the 3,000-year-old city of Malaga. A favourite among Europeans, this destination is renowned for its sunshine, rich history and vibrant artistic spirit. Savour local delights like tinto de verano, a refreshing chilled summer wine, and stroll through streets adorned with stunning architectural treasures.

This afternoon, you’ll board your 6-star, ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht for your Signature Yacht Cruise. After exploring your spacious suite, enjoy a drink on your private verandah and toast the start of this enriching journey.

Please book your flight to arrive into Malaga prior to 02:00 PM.

This morning, you’ll arrive in Gibraltar. Dominating the mouth of the Mediterranean, Gibraltar is a natural fortress. The skyline is dominated by the imposing Rock of Gibraltar, a 426-metre-high limestone promontory. On the streets below, explore dozens of British stores and traditional pubs, and marvel that you’re a stone’s throw from Spain.

During the late evening cruise through the Gibraltar Strait, witness the stunning view of Europe and Africa's lights twinkle on the horizon. This unique sight highlights the beauty of the historic passage and is a must-see experience.

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Known as the White City for its whitewashed houses lining winding streets, Tangier has been shaped by numerous cultures and civilisations over the centuries. The strong Spanish influence makes it a prime example of Spanish-Moorish architecture. Today, Tangier is a bustling modern port and the busiest in the Mediterranean.

At sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of life onboard. Guests can visit the gym for a workout, indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment, or simply find a comfortable spot on deck to watch for whales and admire the endless ocean views. They can also enjoy onboard entertainment, read a favorite book, or savor delicious meals at their own pace. With no rush to disembark, these tranquil blue sea days provide a refreshing break from the excitement of sightseeing. The balance between leisurely days at sea and adventurous days ashore creates a truly rewarding and memorable cruise experience.

Boasting one of Europe’s finest golden-sand beaches, Porto Santo is a serene escape of golden shores and blue waters, perfect for relaxation. The island’s renowned 9-kilometre beach is believed to have therapeutic qualities, with its sand and waters rich in iodine, calcium, and magnesium, making it ideal for soothing rheumatism and bone ailments.

By evening, Scenic Eclipse II glides into the enchanting harbour of Funchal, where the twinkling lights of Madeira’s capital city create a breathtaking welcome. With an overnight stay in port, you will have the opportunity to experience the island’s charm after dark.

Formed by a volcanic eruption, Madeira lies in the Gulf Stream, about 500 miles due west of Casablanca. Discovered by Portuguese explorer João Gonçalves Zarco in 1419, this beautiful island became part of Portugal’s vast empire and was named for the dense forest which cloaked it - 'Madeira' means 'wood' in Portuguese. Sugar plantations first brought wealth here, and when King Charles II of England granted an exclusive franchise to sell wine to England and its colonies, many British emigrants were drawn to the capital, Funchal. Today’s travellers come to Madeira for the varied and luxuriant scenery, from mountain slopes covered with vines to picturesque villages and a profusion of wild flowers. The natural beauty of the island has earned it many pseudonyms such as ‘The Floating Garden of the Atlantic’, 'The Island of Eternal Springtime' and ‘God’s Botanical Gardens’ and our selection of excursions aim to show you why.

Today, your journey concludes in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a vibrant island paradise. As you disembark from your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht and bid farewell to the crew and newfound friends, feel a deep sense of renewal and tranquillity.

Please book your flight to depart out of Tenerife after 01:00 PM.
