Departing from Liverpool Cruise Terminal
Princes Parade, Liverpool, Merseyside, L3 1DL
A sun-kissed journey through Spain and Portugal, enriched with culture, coastal beauty, and celestial wonders.
Sail aboard Bolette on a voyage that blends scenic beauty, rich traditions, and coastal charm, all at a time when warm weather lingers and the crowds have thinned, making for a truly immersive Spain and Portugal cruise experience.
Wander the elegant promenades of Cádiz and Málaga, where flamenco rhythms and lively tapas bars bring Andalusia’s vibrant culture to life. In Lisbon, set along the banks of the River Tagus, uncover the charm of its historic centre and waterfront districts, best enjoyed with a freshly baked pastel de nata in hand. Meanwhile, Porto’s Douro River offers a picturesque riverside setting, perfect for a leisurely afternoon of exploration. Over in Madeira, marvel at the dramatic cliffs of Cabo Girão, wander through fragrant botanical gardens, and savour a taste of the island’s world-famous Madeira wine.
Enhancing this journey, astronomers from Go Stargazing will join select legs of the cruise, offering insightful talks and hosting stargazing sessions on deck. As you explore these historic coastal cities by day and turn your gaze to the wonders of the night sky by evening, this voyage promises a perfect blend of cultural discovery and celestial marvels.
