Cruise · 17 nights · with Ambassador Cruise Line
Seventeen days aboard Ambassador’s Ambition, circling Iberia’s southern coasts from Bristol with calls at Spanish ports and stops in Gibraltar, Ceuta and Lisbon for a varied Mediterranean voyage.
Highlights
Fish market in Malaga
Valencia’s old town and City of Arts and Sciences
Palma de Mallorca and Port Mahon on Menorca
Spanish exclave of Ceuta on North African coast
The Rock of Gibraltar and its Barbary macaques
This seventeen-night cruise sets off from Bristol Royal Portbury to Malaga, Alicante and Valencia among others, all ports with their own character. Malaga’s busy fish market can be a lively way to glimpse local life, while Valencia’s old town and futuristic City of Arts and Sciences sit side by side, a neat contrast.
Journeys
The itinerary includes Palma de Mallorca and the smaller harbour of Port Mahon on Menorca, both of which have their own Mediterranean rhythms. Ceuta introduces North Africa with a chance to spot Spanish colonial-era architecture on this Spanish exclave. Gibraltar’s famous rock looms to the west, its wild Barbary macaques the only wild monkeys in Europe.
Ambassador’s Ambition is a passenger-friendly ship that fits comfortably into these varied harbours, making for a leisurely coastal passage with plenty of time ashore. The trip ends as it began, with a return to Bristol Royal Portbury after calls in Lisbon and along Iberia’s southern fringe.
