Le Champlain, 10 Night Secrets of the Iberian Peninsula ex Lisbon, Portugal to Barcelona, Spain

PONANT invites you to discover stunning scenery and exceptional cities on this 11-day cruise between Portugal and Spain, with a stop in Morocco. Fall under the spell of this unforgettable journey aboard Le Champlain, as you discover the major cities of the Iberian Peninsula.

Upon departing from the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, known as the city of the seven hills, you will sail southward to the beautiful Algarve region, where you will stop in Lagos. The appeal of this pretty coastal town with a quiet charm lies in its rich maritime heritage and spectacular coastline.

Your next destination will be Cadiz. Built on a rock and surrounded by sea on all sides, it is one of the oldest cities in Spain. You will then sail along the Strait of Gibraltar and immerse yourself in the multicultural charm of Tangier.

Le Champlain will now cruise towards Malaga, the lively cultural capital of the Costa del Sol. The buildings in the heart of the old town, and especially the 10th-century Moorish castle, reveal the city’s history.

After stopping in Valencia, a city with a remarkable architectural heritage, you will set a course for Palma de Mallorca, the jewel of the Balearic Islands, which are renowned for their contrasting islands bathing in the clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Finally, you will reach Barcelona, your disembarkation port.

Featuring innovative and environmentally-friendly equipment, elegantly designed cabins, spacious suites with large windows, and lounge areas that open onto the outside, this new limited-capacity yacht boasting just 92 cabins and suites will offer you a truly unique cruising experience.
