Depart home on your flight to Malaga, Spain.

Welcome to Spain’s famous Costa del Sol and the ancient city of Malaga, where sunshine, history, and artistry intertwine.

After a restorative night of rest in your ultra-luxury suite, wake on your own time. The day is yours to spend exactly as you wish.

Pay a visit to the luxurious Senses Spa for a treatment# that will reinvigorate your mind, body and soul. Tonight, enjoy an evening in the state-of-the-art on-board theatre with Scenic’s world-class entertainers as you sit back and relax, sipping your favorite cocktail. Meals: B. L. D.

The historic city of Seville is around 100 kilometers from the coast, yet its position on the banks of the Guadalquivir River means Scenic Eclipse can sail inland and dock right in its heart. Dating back to the days of the Roman Empire, the elegant capital of Andalusia is an architect’s dream with striking styles ranging from the Gothic design of the Cathedral de Santa María de la Sede to the Baroque style of the Iglesia Colegial del Salvador and strong Moorish influences.

Scenic Eclipse will be spending the night in Seville, giving you ample opportunity to sample the city’s famed culinary scene, small bars and flamenco dancing. Meals: B. L. D.

On your second day in Seville, seize the opportunity to explore beyond the city limits.

Whichever experience you select, your day promises unforgettable experiences and lasting memories in southern Spain.

Settle in at the spacious Scenic Lounge Bar tonight to enjoy your beverage of choice, reflecting on the day’s discoveries. Meals: B. L. D.

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Tangier’s allure is timeless, inviting visitors to explore its rich history and vibrant present.

It’s known as the White City, for the whitewashed houses strewn along winding streets, and many cultures and civilizations have left their mark here over the centuries. A strong Spanish influence makes it an excellent showcase for Spanish-Moorish architecture, and its celebrated café culture boasts over 1,000 establishments. Modernization is in full swing, and Tangier is the busiest port in the Mediterranean. Meals: B. L. D.

Whilst Ibiza is known for its thriving party scene, there is more to this island than meets the eye.

From Santa Maria Cathedral, a Gothic landmark, to La Almudaina, the Moorish-style Arab fortress converted into a royal residence, and the unique circular design of Bellver Castle, a medieval fortress, Palma reveals a new chapter of history at every corner. Meals: B. L. D.

At the heart of the Costa de Azahar (meaning the ‘orange blossom coast’), on Spain’s eastern edge, is Castellon De La Plana. Smaller and more peaceful than many of the coastal resorts you’ll visit, this is an authentic taste of Spanish life, complete with historic sites, bustling markets, and scenic landscapes. Stroll through the lively Plaça Major and savor the vibrant atmosphere of Mercado Central, then visit the Gothic-style Concatedral de Santa Maria and its octagonal bell tower, El Fadri. Meals: B. L.
