CORDOBA, SEVILLE AND RIVER CRUISING During your two-night stay in Seville, you will visit the Royal Palace Alcazar, the oldest residence of Spanish royalty that is still in use today and a building that amalgamates influences starting from the Arabic period, the late Middle Ages right through to the Renaissance, Baroque era and nineteenth century. The Cathedral of Seville is the third largest in Europe and its Gothic interior houses the tomb of Christopher Columbus – well worth a visit in your free time. Enjoy a full day sightseeing to Cordoba, which contains one of the wonders of the medieval world, the Great Mosque. Then set sail from Seville along the Guadalquivir River to the Atlantic Ocean. PORTUGAL: IDYLLIC SCENERY AND CAPTIVATING CITIES There has been a settlement on the site of Lisbon since Neolithic times and the city has played a central role in European history since Roman times. This rich past will become evident as your tour of the city includes Alfama – the oldest quarter, the monumental statue of Christ the King and the Church of Jeronimos. In Oporto, you can visit a wine estate to sample that most famous of fortified wines, port, or join a tour of this charming city. It is believed by the faithful that St James the Apostle preached in Galicia and that, after his death in the Holy Land, his body was brought back here. A church was built over his remains in the 11th century and ever since this has been a place of pilgrimage. Your tour of the magnificent Cathedral includes the crypt where St James is believed to be buried, the museum and medieval town.

18 DAYS FROM SEVILLE TO LONDON STATEROOM CATEGORY

Wine-tasting in Bordeaux

THE TASTE OF FRANCE & ENGLAND’S WEST COUNTRY Aegean Odyssey cruises up the River Gironde to berth in the heart of Bordeaux, described as having the most beautiful streets in France thanks to the magnificent 18th-century architecture. You will visit the highlights of the city including the Palais Rohan and the 13th-century Cathedral of St Andrew before venturing out of the city to one of the prestigious wine estates for a tasting. The West Country of England is a charming place, steeped in history from the founding of the Royal Navy to the D-Day landings. From Falmouth, drive through the lush green countryside to the world famous Eden Project. Along the coast is Dartmouth, home to Britannia Royal Naval College. FROM NORMANDY TO LONDON Honfleur offers visitors a unique heritage, which can be best appreciated by strolling its narrow streets. With its Grand Casino and sumptuous hotels, Deauville is regarded as the “Queen of Normandy beaches.” Founded in the 11th century, Caen was devastated in World War II and rebuilt in the 1950s. Here you will visit the moving museum of war and peace. A scenic guided tour of London takes in all the major historical and noted sites: from the majestic Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery to the venerable façade of Westminster Abbey and the fortifications of the Tower of London. There is plenty of free time to either continuing sightseeing or head for the shops and the theater.
