This Royal Clipper voyage from Málaga to Nice sails the sunlit shores of southern and eastern Spain before reaching the glamour of the French Riviera. Departing historic Malaga, guests encounter Moorish masterpieces including the Alhambra near Motril, then continue to the Roman legacy of Cartagena and the medieval citadel crowning Peñíscola. The journey blends artistic brilliance in Barcelona and coastal charm in Roses before crossing into France, where the timeless allure of Saint-Tropez leads to an elegant finale in Nice.
Malaga's fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnificent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace.
Motril, on Spain's southern coast, is a vibrant port city steeped in history, culture and Mediterranean charm. It is a popular seaside destination offering a unique combination of beautiful beaches, historic monuments and culinary delights. Motril is an excellent base for exploring the city of Granada, the villages of the Alpujarras or the rum distillery and tropical fruit plantation.
Cartagena, a historic port city steeped in rich history and fascinating culture. Nestling between the hills and the Mediterranean Sea, the city offers an enchanting mix of historic sites, including the Roman Theatre, picturesque beaches and a lively atmosphere.
Rising dramatically from the sea, Peñíscola is one of Spain’s most striking coastal towns - a whitewashed maze of cobbled streets crowned by a medieval castle. Passengers can wander through the old quarter, where balconies overflow with flowers and the scent of the sea drifts through narrow alleys, or climb to the Castle of Papa Luna, once home to an exiled pope. Below, golden beaches stretch for miles, lined with cafés and terraces overlooking the bay. Whether exploring history or relaxing in the sun, Peñíscola offers a perfect balance of Spanish charm, coastal beauty, and timeless tranquility.
Vibrant, artistic, and endlessly captivating, Barcelona is a city that awakens every sense. Passengers can wander through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, where history whispers from every stone, or marvel at Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces - from the soaring Sagrada Família to the whimsical curves of Park Güell. Along the elegant boulevards and lively waterfront, cafés and tapas bars invite moments of indulgence beneath the Mediterranean sun. Whether exploring world-class museums, strolling the famous Las Ramblas, or simply watching the city’s rhythm unfold, Barcelona offers a unique blend of culture, creativity, and coastal charm.
Sheltered by the beautiful Gulf of Roses on Spain’s Costa Brava, Roses combines seaside charm with rich cultural heritage. Passengers can stroll along the palm-lined promenade, where restaurants offer the chance to taste Catalan specialties, explore the impressive Citadel and the picturesque ruins of the old village, relax on one of the town’s golden beaches, or explore the Cap de Creus promontory that stretches just behind the town. For those wishing to venture further, optional excursions (available at an additional cost) visit two remarkable sites: the hilltop Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, offering breathtaking coastal views, and the celebrated Dalí Museum in Figueres, created by the surrealist master. Whether exploring art, history, or simply the pleasures of the sea, Roses captures the spirit of the Mediterranean at its finest.
‘Saint-Trop’, is an iconic seaside resort renowned for its glamour, luxurious lifestyle, and rich historical heritage. This picturesque town, once a modest fishing village, has become a destination that attracts visitors from all over the world with its golden sandy beaches, picturesque alleyways, luxury boutiques and fashionable restaurants.
Nice seduces with its enchanting mix of Mediterranean glamour and sun-drenched beaches. Stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais, explore the historic charm of Vieux Nice with its colourful alleyways and bustling markets, and savour delicious cuisine. With its mild year-round climate, Nice offers the perfect escape where French elegance meets natural beauty.
