24Portugal and Spain City ExplorerDelve into the culture, history and traditions of Portugal and Spain on this cruise to the Iberian Peninsula at the ideal time for sightseeing, without the summer crowds and heat. Set at the mouth of the Douro River, Leixoes is a great starting place from which to visit nearby Oporto where the cobbled streets of the old town are brimming with historic buildings. Continue south to visit the capital Lisbon, a vibrant city that is easily explored on foot, by vintage tram or by Tuk Tuk. Begin your Spanish exploration in Malaga, whose wealth of historical sights include the Moorish citadels of Alcazaba, the ruins of Gibralfaro Castle and a Roman amphitheatre. The iconic work of one of the city%u2019s most famous sons, Picasso, can be seen at the Museu de Picasso in the artists%u2019 quarter. Further Roman influences are revealed in Cartagena, whose harbour is protected by an 18th-century sea wall. While Palma, Majorca%u2019s elegant capital city, features Moorish architecture among its attractive maze of streets. Uncover the awe-inspiring designs of Gaudi%u2019s Barcelona and visit Gibraltar with its monolithic limestone mountain.SHIP: Spirit of AdventureINCLUDED EXCURSION IN EVERY PORTSAILING: March 5, 2026CRUISE CODE: SU158Sailing from Portsmouth %u2022 Leixoes (for Oporto), Portugal %u2022 Lisbon, Portugal %u2022 Malaga, Spain %u2022 Cartagena, Spain %u2022 Palma, Majorca %u2022 Barcelona, Spain %u2022 Gibraltar. Returning to Portsmouth.Captain Franko%u2019s Homecoming Cruise%u201cI cannot wait to welcome you on board this cruise to my homeland, Croatia. I am delighted to have been involved in the development of this itinerary which begins by visiting a new port of call for both me and Saga%u2019s Spirit ships, Melilla, a Spanish enclave on Morocco%u2019s north African coast. Next, I plan to cruise into Valletta at sunrise for you to witness the changing colours of the city. Then, we cruise into the Adriatic Sea to visit Split, with its UNESCO-listed centre and Diocletian%u2019s Palace. Our next port of call is new to Saga Cruises, Opatija, which I refer to as the Monte Carlo of Croatia. It is an elegant town with grand hotels, well-maintained public gardens and a long coastal promenade. Next, we continue along the coast for an extended visit to Rijeka, close to the bay where I live. Rijeka, has a mix of old and new architecture and o\lakes and Croatia%u2019s capital Zagreb. Our next stop is at the island of Krk and its medieval capital, before we continue to Dubrovnik. March is the ideal time to explore this white stone city, away from the crowds of summer. Highlights include St Blaise%u2019s Church and Sponza Palace. Bidding farewell to my homeland, we cruise into the Bay of Kotor to explore the medieval town of the same name. On our return journey we call at Corfu, Sicily and Majorca, and enjoy a day in Gibraltar.%u201dCaptain Franko PapicSHIP: Spirit of DiscoveryINCLUDED EXCURSION IN EVERY PORTSAILING: March 10, 2026CRUISE CODE: SD179Sailing from Portsmouth %u2022 Melilla, Spain %u2022 Valletta, Malta %u2022 Split, Croatia %u2022 Opatija , Croatia %u2022 Rijeka, Croatia %u2022 Krk , Croatia %u2022 Dubrovnik, Croatia %u2022 Kotor, Montenegro %u2022 Corfu, Greece %u2022 Palermo, Sicily %u2022 Palma, Majorca %u2022 Gibraltar.
