• Lisbon - Snapshots of Lisbon

  Description

  This unique overview of this UNESCO Awarded city is created for disembarking guests. This introduction provides a look at the highlights of Portugal’s charming capital. As you head to the oldest part of the city, your licensed guide will point out some of the major sights that can be enjoyed from the motor coach: The Alfama Quarter: The layout of this ancient quarter will intrigue you with its ambiance, maze of alleyways and narrow, cobbled streets lined by closely packed houses, many of Moorish design. Continue with your drive through the city center to Alto do Parque Belvedere for a photo stop and to enjoy the magnificent view over the city. 25 April Bridge and Christ the King Statue: From the viewpoint depart across the beautiful 25th April Bridge, twin of San Francisco’s Golden Gate, and constructed by the same company. Originally named the Ponte Salazar after the Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar, it was renamed in 1974 in honor of the date of the Carnation revolution. Once across the span, you will pause for photos at the base of the Monument Chris the King, a 361-foot high statue portraying the sacred heart. It was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Jeronimos Monastery: Crossing the bridge once again proceed to this 16th-century architectural masterpiece designed in Gothic Manueline style. The riches brought back by Portuguese explorers paid for this splendid religious monument. (Exterior view of the monastery’s church.) Belém Tower: Next, proceed to Lisbon’s prominent landmark dominating the bank of the Tagus River. From this lavishly decorated tower, Portuguese explorers were given a rousing send-off. (Photo stop) Monument to the Discoveries: Close by stands this monumental sculpture, built to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry, the mastermind navigator behind Portugal's voyages of exploration and subsequent fantastic wealth. (Photo stop) Leaving the Belém area, you will be taken back to the pier or to the Airport.

• Portimao, Algarve - Lagos, Sagres & Cape St. Vincent

  Description

  This SeaDream Land Adventure will combine the sights of Lagos with a trip to Europe’s most south westerly point! Begin your sightseeing adventure with a guided walking overview of Lagos. Enjoy some free time to wander along its quaint, narrow streets at your own pace. Lagos retains the atmosphere of its great cosmopolitan heritage in its wealth of architecture and monuments. Continue with a 45 minute drive to the small town of Sagres. Although debated, some consider Sagres to have been the headquarters of Prince Henry the Navigator’s, School of Navigation. The school may have been within the 17th-century fortress, which was defended from the shore by mighty ramparts and from the sea by towering cliffs. Prince Henry is also reputed to have created a shipbuilding yard in the small natural harbor below. Visit the fortress and the old Hermitage, which dates back to the 7th century. Here, you will view a giant pebble wind compass, known as the Rosa dos Ventos, before continuing your journey west to Cape St. Vincent. So named after the martyred St. Vincent, the cape is the site of numerous naval battles, such as that between Admiral Rodney and the Spanish in 1780 and Admiral Jervis and Admiral Nelson against the Spanish fleet in 1797. As you stand on Europe’s most south western point, admire a steadfast lighthouse whose guiding beam safely directs hundreds of ships passing the Cape every year. Having experienced the best of the Algarve, you will return with your fellow SeaDreamers to the yacht docked in Portimão.

• Portimao, Algarve - Village Views & Portuguese Wines

  Description

  Discover a charming Algarve fishing village and a modern Estate famous for its wine production. We start our Land Adventure driving by Praia da Rocha in direction to Alvor, a little fishing port with a history that extends back to the Classical Era. It is believed the Carthaginians founded the city and its importance is confirmed by the ruins of a wealthy Roman villa located slightly inland from the present village. In the time of the Moors, who first occupied the area in 716, the village was named Albur and it passed through Portuguese and Moorish hands several times. Alvor, as its known today, is a charming blend of popular modern-day resort and quaint old-world village. After spending some free time in this Alvor, we will make our way to Quinta dos Vales where we will have a guided visit of the property (Sculpture Garden, vineyards and to the wine lodge) followed by a wine tasting session of the produced wines accompanied by a splendid selection of Portuguese snacks. The wines produced by this estate have already received several awards in international wine contests. The wine tasting with the Portuguese snacks will take place in the well preserved tasting room of the manor house. After a refreshing experience we will re-board our coach and make our way back to the beautiful SeaDream yacht.

• Puerto Banus, Marbella - Ronda Wine Experience

  Description

  One of Spain’s oldest cities, located in the Andalusian mountains and 750 meters above sea level, Ronda stills displays aspects of its ancient Roman origins. This historical town has been a much loved destination for many painters, architects and creative artists; including Orson Welles and Ernest Hemingway. The best way to explore Ronda is on foot and throughout your guided walking tour you will pass several of the city’s highlights; including the ‘Puente Nuevo’ (New Bridge), which alongside the bull ring is said to symbolize the soul of the city. Having visited the city center, you will discover one unique wine cellar in the area. “Descalzos Viejos” (the aged barefoot monks), was founded in the year 2000 and specially restored for the purpose of wine-making by the architects Francisco Retamero and Flavio Salesi and their respective wives, Chelo Porras and Mariela Grana. It is situated in the chapel of a sixteenth century Trinitarian monastery. In this building, perched on the higher slopes of the impressive Tajo of Ronda (the famous Gorge), they make wine from the 5.5 hectares of vineyards that have been planted on this property, and other 5 hectares in ward. During the visit, you will taste three types of wines, accompanied with some snacks.

• Puerto Banus, Marbella - Mijas & Modern Masterpieces

  Description

  Take a look behind the scenes at Spanish country life. Leaving the vibrant port of Puerto Banus, wander through the narrow, cobble-stoned streets of this pretty village and you will see why artists are attracted to this place, with its wonderful panoramic views over the Mediterranean Sea. Continue the guided walking tour towards the bullring. The Mijas bullring is quirky because of its unusual shape. It was built near the castle in 1900 due to high demand from the people of the area. However, because of the irregular shape and lie of the land where it was to be situated, it meant that they had to build an oval shape rather than the usual circle - making it unique in Spain. Our next stop will be the Contemporary Art Center of Mijas, a venue that can brag about having something in common with the great cities of Paris, New York, Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga. Pablo Picasso’s works are showcased in the CAC Mijas Contemporary Art Musem, in the center of Mijas village. The route takes you to the inside of the Art Museum, where a private collection that holds 400 original masterpieces, some of Picasso’s great works and the World’s second largest Picasso ceramics will be displayed alongside world renown artists and friends such as cubist George Braque, japanese Fouijita, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró.

• Malaga - The Magnificent Alhambra

  Description

  Discover the Alhambra - dramatic highlight of historic Granada on this unforgettable land adventure. The city is beautiful in its own right, but nothing in all of Spain compares to the wealth of architectural art to be found in the city's Muslim - Hispano complex - the 14th-century Alhambra. This breathtaking example of Moslem architecture is completely encircled by walls and towers - palaces, military buildings, a fortress and the administrative centers of a bygone era all lie protected within. Explore this remarkable structure on foot and marvel at the detailed mosaics, prism-style cupolas, and stone-cast latticework that speak to a surprising grace and sophistication. The nearby Generalife, surrounded by water gardens, was the residence of Kings in need of refuge, and in direct contrast, the stunning El Vino Gate commissioned by Carlos V is built in the purest Renaissance style of the 16th-century. By special SeaDream arrangement, a typical Spanish tapas meal with wine, bottled water and dessert is provided after your walk at the Ruta del Vileta restaurant at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The restaurant is a favorite of King Juan Carlos I during the skiing holidays of the Spanish Royal Family.

  Notes

  The Alhambra is one of the most visited monuments in Europe and only allows a limited amount of visitors per day. We hold a limited amount of entrance tickets and as this program is booked onboard only, please make your reservations as soon as possible after boarding to avoid disappointment. Once requested, this land adventure is non-refundable and only valid for the day issued. A minimum number of participants is required to operate this land adventure. The journey to Granada requires two hours. But do not be discouraged; the guides are very good and will keep you entertained as well as informed as you cross the Spanish countryside. Once in Granada there will be ample opportunity to walk as the gardens and the palace are explored on foot. The return journey is usually relaxed and quiet helped along by the Spanish wine served during your tapas break.

• Gibraltar - Highlights of Gibraltar

  Description

  There is an enormous advantage to be gained by exploring with an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Explore the natural wonders, local flora and fauna, splendid views and military fortification that Gibraltar has to offer. In order to make this visit even more enjoyable, we will provide one guide for no more than 16 guests per each vehicle. Modern technology does all the hard work once the mini coach drops you at the Cable Car Bottom Station. It’s only a short ride but the panorama opening out before you is incredibly breathtaking to make you forget you are actually suspended in midair. Once up, take a look at the Rock for a view of the huge catchments area and Catalan Bay, before striding along a wooded path to St. Michael’s Cave to admire what was a source of wonderment even in ancient times. To save time, you will board a mini-coach and travel north to your next stop. Monkies spring to mind when one mentions the Rock of Gibraltar and that is your next stop. These tail-less monkeys (macaca sylvanus) are roaming free. Keep your possessions close! You will then move on to Princess Caroline’s Battery and the entrance to the Upper Galleries. This labyrinth of tunnels inside the Rock includes the great Siege Tunnels. They represent arguably the most impressive defensive system devised by man. Excavated during the Great Siege of 1779-83, they allowed the mounting of gun emplacements along the north face of the rock towards enemy positions. En route back to the yacht, your transport will pass the Tower of the Moorish Castle before entering the heart of the duty-free shopping area and Main Street, where you may choose between being dropped off (and making your own way back to the yacht later) or returning directly to your SeaDream yacht.

  Your Land Adventure will start with an amazing visit to the General Archive of the Indies, that is housed in one of the most emblematic buildings of Seville and represents a fundamental part of Spanish history. Here, all of the important documents regarding the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus and the subsequent Spanish colonization are stored. Additionally, the building and its contents have been declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

• Cadiz - Jerez and Sherry with views of Cadiz

  Description

  Relax for a panoramic drive past the most important highlights of Cádiz; Spain Square, San Carlos Walls, Alameda Apodaca, Carmen's Church, Genoves Park, Santa Catalina and San Sebastian Castle, La Caleta Beach and its fantastic scenery, the Roman Theatre, the old Royal Prision, and the Puertas de Tierra walls that separate the new city from the Old Town. Continue through "new" Cádiz to glimpse the lollipop-shaped telecom building, Victoria Beach and the hotel district of Cádiz. Watch for the all-important football (soccer) stadium as you head 30 miles out of town on the road to Jerez. Jerez de la Frontera is famous for its strong Moorish influence and is widely known as the sherry capital of the world. In fact, it was the town's Moorish name, Scheris, which gave sherry wine its name. Tucked into the fertile hinterland of Cádiz, Jerez de la Frontera enjoys its own microclimate, which enables the grapes to grow ripe and sweet. Here, you will visit the cellars, or bodegas as they are called in Spain, to learn about the process of making sherry, from grape cultivation to bottling. You will enjoy a tasting of the wines before re-boarding your coach for the return ride to Cadiz.
