L2638 - Update to Your Itinerary

Whilst your departure is still some time away, we wanted to let you know about a change to your itinerary and give you all the details as soon as possible.

Why are we making this change?
We know how much this cruise means to you, and we’re sorry if the changes feel disappointing.

We only make adjustments to our itineraries when necessary. These decisions are always guided by the latest local advice from our trusted partners on the ground, with one priority in mind, delivering the best possible experience for you.

What’s changed?
Our planned visits to Kalamata and Tangier will now be replaced with calls to:
Valletta
Cartagena      &
Gibraltar
These changes allow us to visit five different countries in just eleven nights, adding even more variety and opportunities for discovery.

Why have we chosen these destinations?
Valletta is Malta’s beautiful capital, rich in history, culture and character. This compact UNESCO World Heritage city is known for its striking architecture, grand fortifications and elegant streets, all set against the impressive backdrop of the Grand Harbour. From historic landmarks and museums to waterfront cafés, Valletta offers plenty to enjoy at a relaxed and rewarding pace.

Cartagena is a historic port city in southeastern Spain, renowned for its rich three‑thousand‑year history. With well‑preserved Roman ruins, ancient city walls and a lively maritime atmosphere, it offers a fascinating blend of heritage, culture and seaside charm.

Gibraltar is a truly distinctive destination, best known for the iconic Rock of Gibraltar rising dramatically above the coastline. With its mix of British and Mediterranean influences, centuries of history, impressive fortifications and sweeping sea views, it offers a memorable place to explore.
