Journeys
Cruise · 15 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
A 15-night cruise on Ambassador’s Ambience from London Tilbury to the Atlantic coasts of Portugal, Morocco and Spain, calling at historic ports such as Oporto, Casablanca and Santiago de Compostela along the way.
Lisbon follows, with its mosaic pavements and late-19th-century trams climbing steep streets, before the crossing to Morocco’s Agadir and Casablanca. In Casablanca, the sprawling Hassan II Mosque stands close to the Atlantic, impressive enough that you might wonder if the mosques of Europe’s past had such confidence in their position. Tangier balances between its Mediterranean and Atlantic influences, with twists of markets and seaside promenade.
Spain brings the final shore calls: Vigo, a port with a working fish market a short walk from the ship, and Santiago de Compostela, whose cathedral draws pilgrims down the centuries. The pace of this cruise allows time to take in both city life and the Atlantic’s changing moods. There is a quietness aboard Ambience that suits the explorations well.
