Arrecife, Canary Islands
 Arrecife is on the other-worldly volcanic island of Lanzarote. Arid and lava strewn Lanzarote offers guests both desert, volcanic and underwater adventures. Don’t miss Jameos Del Agua: the partially collapsed lava tube and cave system complete with concert hall, nightclubs underground pond, and unique albino crabs.
Bonifacio, Corsica
 Bonifacio's almost land-locked harbor is one of the most dramatic totally protected harbors, a bustling port with excellent seafood restaurants, and a modern marina. The ancient citadel town is perched high atop a seemingly impenetrable granite cliff.
Cadiz, Spain
 Cadiz called ‘‘the cup of silver’’ takes its name from the silvery harbor and sparkling atmosphere. It is almost African in appearance - its streets are lined with palm trees, its churches topped with dome-like cupolas and its white houses shaded by orange trees. Take advantage of our optional tours to Seville, the irresistible capital and cultural center of Andalusia with its colorful and festive lifestyle.
Cartagena, Spain
 Cartagena's naturally deep, sheltered harbor was developed into the nation's premier naval base, a position it still enjoys today. This refreshing town on Spain's Murcia coast is a living book of history with its displays of what remains of forts, naval walls, Moorish-influenced buildings.

Casablanca, Morocco
 Long before Ingrid Bergman and Bogie made Casablanca a symbol for romance, the city was famous for intrigue and mystery. Veiled by overlapping mantles of French, Arabian and African culture, Casablanca reveals new faces at every turn. The enormous Hassan II Mosque (holding 70,000 worshipers) is the new Morocco, while the fanciful Mauresque buildings in the Medina impart visions of pre-war Casablanca.
Essaouria, Morocco
The beaches around Essaouria are beautiful. The town itself is famous for its fresh seafood and now a popular place to take part in most forms of watersports.
Formentera, Spain
 The least developed of the Balearics, Formentera is an unhurried little island with a lot of charm. With hills blanketed in pines and sweet-smelling rosemary and hundreds of crescent-shaped beaches cradled between tall cliffs, it’s an idyllic place to relax for a day. The Faro de la Mola lighthouse near Es Pilar is where Jules Verne wrote Journey Round the Solar System.
Funchal, Madeira, Portugal
 The British have a soft spot in their hearts for Madeira. Since colonial times, the redolent wines of this spring-like island have been a favorite on English tables. And since before the Napoleonic Wars, Funchal has been a favorite R & R stop for British vacationers. Madeira's terrain is impossibly steep, interrupted frequently by cascading waterfalls, but every terraced inch is covered in lush greenery and flowers. And everyone who visits Madeira has to take the careening sled ride from Monte to Funchal.
