Gibraltar
Gibraltar is a vibrant slice of Britain at the heart of the sunny Mediterranean. From its helmet-wearing policemen and fish and chips to familiar stores such as Marks & Spencer, this place truly feels like home. Take a cable car up to Europa Point to meet the famous Barbary macaque tailless monkeys and admire all of Gibraltar. Explore the labyrinth of the Great Siege Tunnels and St Michael's Cave inside The Rock. Enjoy a stroll to the Moorish Castle or discover the 100 Ton Gun at the Napier Magdala Battery beside Rosia Bay. Indulge in VAT-free shopping on Main Street and uncover local artisan shops and Gibraltar Crystal Factory on Casemates Square.

Lanzarote (Canary Islands), Spain
The ship drops anchor today on the easternmost Canary Island of Lanzarote; famous for its year-round warm weather, stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and amazing volcanic landscapes. Admire Castillo San Gabriel and Castillo San Jose which form the backdrop to Arrecife harbour. The beautiful golden sand of Arrecife’s Playa del Reducto is ideal for a morning's sunbathing, or take a stroll along the seafront promenade to the peaceful Playa del Cable. White-washed villas, beaches, and dive centres await discovery in Puerto del Carmen; the resort also hosts the Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen during the first two weeks of August. Witness Cesar Manrique's unique Jardin de Cactus, Jameos del Agua, and Mirador del Rio. Explore the atmospheric seven-kilometre-long Cueva de Los Verdes that arose from the eruption of Volcán de la Corona 4,000+ years ago. Venture inland to explore the unique landscape of Timanfaya National Park's fire mountains.
5
Gran Canaria (Canary Islands), Spain
The Canary island of Gran Canaria is famous for its black lava and white sand beaches; from bustling Playa del Ingles and Puerto Rico to quieter San Augustin and Puerto de Mogan. Surfing fans can make a beeline for Pozo Izquierdo for some great waves and adventurers can hike at the Jurassic-like Caldera de Bandama or climb up to Roque Nublo for 360-degree island vistas. The capital of La Palmas is a Mecca for duty-free shopping, its historic Vegueta old town, Las Canteras urban beach, and marine life at Poema del Mar; while the nearby Jardin Botanico Canario Viera y Clavijo is the perfect escape. The awe-inspiring Dunas de Maspalomas are a must-see sight or step back to pre-Hispanic times at Cueva Pintada Museum. Get up close to wildlife and see dolphins, turtles, seals, toucans, and orchids at Palmitos Park – the biggest zoological park in the Canary Islands - or swap seals for slides at Aqualand Maspalomas Water Park, a ten-minute ride away.
