Our journey planners have designed this cruise to offer you an insight into some of the cultures that have existed throughout the region, as well as visits to places noted for their spectacular fortifications and defensive harbours, such as Valletta and Gibraltar. For those guests who are hoping to get closer to nature, in Gibraltar you'll have the chance to enjoy watching birds migrate south or visit the famous Barbary macaques, the only wild monkey population in Europe. Many of them have made their home near the peak of the Rock, where you'll also have panoramic views across the Straits of Gibraltar and across to the town of La Linea de la Concepcion in Spain. Your journey will conclude in Dubrovnik and it's remarkable ancient walled city.
