About the trip
This Mediterranean cruise from Dundee sets a measured pace, charting a course through Portugal, Spain and Gibraltar with a distinctive celestial event as a backdrop. The ship calls first in Leixões, close to the wine city of Oporto, where the Douro river is just wide enough to navigate but gives a decent excuse for a stroll through port cellars or across the metal arch of Dom Luís I bridge.
