12days from
£1,699*per person

Overview

On selected ocean cruises from Ambassador Cruise Line and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, customers can claim a free case of Virgin Wines, exclusive to Newmarket Holidays.

Our Journey Planners have hand-crafted this cruise to showcase the rugged beauty of Iberia. Witness the striking sight of north Africa’s Rif Mountains; discover the Andalusian Ronda Mountains; and from Lisbon, explore the traditional town of Sintra, set amongst the towering pine trees of Serra da Sintra. Immerse yourself in the Iberian way of life by sampling the traditional Spanish dish of Gazpacho, authentic Andalusian tapas, accompanied by the warming taste of Jerez sherry; or the buttery, flaky pastry of a pastéis de nata, as you listen to the soulful notes of Fado music. Uncover rich Moorish history, evident in impressive architecture such as Málaga’s Alcazaba and Lisbon’s São Jorge Castle.

European Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) - EES is the new electronic entry/exit system for European countries which will replace the physical stamping of your passport. The expected date for its introduction is 10 November 2024. From this date, it means that when you go through passport control on arrival, you will need to produce your passport for checking as you do now, but also have your photograph taken and fingerprints scanned. The system will register your entry on arrival and your exit when departing. You will only need to do this on your first entry into Europe after the scheme starts.Please note: Irish passport holders or British Passport holders with an EU residency are currently excluded. For those travelling via Eurostar, there is a dual British and French/Belgian) border in operational at St Pancras International.
