Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary

Portugal's hilly capital, spread across seven hills above the Tagus estuary. Yellow trams climb to the Alfama's tangled lanes and the Castle of São Jorge, while Belém's monastery and pastéis de nata anchor the riverside to the west.

Tangier
A Moroccan port at the mouth of the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and Europe lies in view across the water. Its walled medina and kasbah climb above the harbour, long a meeting point of African, Arab and European worlds.
