Barcelona, Spain 

Formerly a sleepy Spanish city, Barcelona has recently been reborn as an eclectic fusion of the modern and medieval. This coastal city exudes European charm and welcomes multitudes of travelers every year. It’s a major destination with must-see architectural gems that date back some 2,000 years. You’ll encounter fascinating examples from the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Modern masters like Gaudî, and many Cataluñian greats. Outstanding art museums can be found throughout the city, proudly displaying the works of world-renowned artists and countrymen, including Goya, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalî, and Joan Miró. For a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center, venture to the awaiting Mediterranean Sea and all the seaside has to offer. Maybe a brisk hike in the nearby forest covered Collserola Hills or the hilltop in Montjuïc with its botanical gardens is the perfect recharge for a rollicking evening in one of the premier party capitals of the world. Round out your cruise to Barcelona dining at a tapas bar and savor a variety of delicious small dishes to share—from traditional Spanish to the more innovative.
Travel Tips
1
Barcelona is a pedestrian-friendly city with plenty of public transportation options. From the Port Terminal, there is a shuttle bus service that will drop you off directly in Las Ramblas. There are hop-on, hop-off buses, bike rentals and plenty of cycle lanes, an efficient metro system, and abundant taxis and ride-hailing services. You can walk, too, but distances between neighborhoods are quite long in the heat. To visit Montjuic for the Miró Foundation and other attractions, take the scenic cable car from the port.
2
Souvenir stalls line Las Ramblas, but beware of fakes here. You’ll find much more authentic clothing and craft items in the Gothic Quarter, and quirky, boho fashions in El Born and El Raval. There’s mainstream and Spanish fashion galore around Plaça Catalunya and designer shops along chic Passeig de Gracia. Shop for food gifts in La Boqueria market, and for the best Gaudí-inspired souvenirs, the excellent gift shop at the Sagrada Familia basilica.
3
In Barcelona, the currency is the euro. You won’t have any trouble finding ATMs throughout the city. Exchange offices are typically open for later hours than banks, but you will receive a better exchange rate at most banks. There’s not a big tipping culture here, but 5% to 10% is a suitable token for good service in a restaurant. Round up the bill for taxis if paying in cash. There’s no need to tip bartenders.

Cartagena, Spain 

During the 16th and 17th centuries, when Spain held sway over the rest of Europe and the New World, much of its naval power was concentrated in the port of Cartagena. Many of the coastal fortifications from that era still exist, although instead of guarding the city, they provide splendid views of the harbor. Cartagena is one of the world’s great natural harbors and over the ages has known its fair share of conflict, conquest, and riches. Brimming with a fascinating history, this is the wharf where Phoenician traders unloaded exotic treasures and where Roman citizens crowded into a grand theatre. Explore the archeological ruins, castle battlements, artillery, museums, historic churches, and architectural wonders on your Cartagena cruise. For a casual stroll complete with a little sightseeing and a coffee, put on those comfortable shoes and head on a guided tour through the heart of the city. Or, visit a family-owned wine cellar that produces traditional wine. Cartagena is a cosmopolitan city filled with tapas bars, art galleries, fine restaurants and world-renowned shopping. It’s a charming coastal city that utterly captivates all visitors.
Travel Tips
1
Cartagena has a bus and train station within walking distance of the cruise port. If you are heading to the bus or train station from the city center and old quarter, it’s about a 10-minute walk. Taxis will wait just outside the cruise terminal. Rideshare services operate here, too. In reality, though, there’s so much to see in the city that you’re likely to spend your day exploring on foot.
2
Cartagena has plenty of shopping in the downtown area, where you’ll find big-name brands as well as Spanish fashions. Browse the colorful stands of Santa Florentina in the city center for piles of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, local hams and cheeses, wines, and olive oil. A great place to shop for souvenirs is Centro Regional de Artesania (located at 10 Calle Honda), which carries locally created ceramics, unique leatherwork and glasswork, rugs, clothing sewn by hand, and a variety of jewelry. Most shops close between 2 pm and 5 pm for siesta.
3
The currency in Spain is the Euro. Most establishments take credit or debit cards, but it’s always useful to carry a little cash, especially for shopping in markets. You will find plenty of ATMs in the city center. Spain does not have a big tipping culture, but you can add 10% to restaurant bills for good service and round up taxi fares. A good guide would be delighted with a tip of 5 to 10 euros after a tour.

Malaga, Spain 

Malaga is the gateway to the Andalusian countryside and the Costa del Sol, some of the region's most impressive beaches. It also is home to a number of magnificent palaces, including the Moorish Alcabaza and Gibralfaro.
Travel Tips
1
It’s easy to traipse around Malaga without a car, and many cruise ships visiting Malaga recommend that passengers walk around the city. There’s also a bike rental service and taxis available from the cruise port. A hop-on/hop-off bus for tourists runs frequently, too.
2
Malaga’s best shopping is found in the center of the city, specifically along Calle Marques de Larios. There are many shopping centers located throughout the city for those looking for department store finds, designer goods, and other wares at varying price points. Souvenirs are available for purchase at the terminal where Malaga cruises stop, which many people pick up before heading back to their ship.
3
The euro is the official currency of Spain. Passengers on cruise ships visiting Malaga will find plenty of currency exchanges and ATMs in the city. Tipping is considered unusual in Spain for the most part, but rounding up to the nearest euro for your cab driver or giving 5% to 10% at a restaurant is considered more than polite in most circumstances.

MISSING PORT CONTENT 

Set on the sweeping Bay of Gibraltar, Algeciras is Andalusia’s southern gateway, with views across the Strait toward the mountains of Morocco. While the city itself is a working harbor with a relaxed, local feel, its location puts some of southern Spain’s most memorable destinations within reach.

Wander the Plaza Alta and the tiled Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Palma, or step into Parque María Cristina for a quiet moment under palm trees. Beyond the city, the possibilities open up: ride up the Rock of Gibraltar and meet its famous Barbary macaques, discover the dramatic gorge and old bullring of Ronda, or follow the coast to windswept Tarifa and the glamorous marinas of Marbella and Sotogrande.

Seville (Cadiz), Spain 

From Cádiz you can easily get to Seville, exploring the old town with its quaint Moorish feel as well as its impressive monuments, pretty parks and lovely architecture. Along the way, restore your energy at any of the mouth-watering tapas bars offering some of the country’s finest seafood and typical Andalusian cuisine.
Travel Tips
1
Seville has excellent public transportation, although many of the main sights are walkable if you pace yourself in the heat. There’s one tram line, Metrocentro, which connects Plaza Nueva and the San Bernardo train station via four stops, including the Cathedral and the Alcázar Palace. You’ll also find an efficient bus network and a small metro system, used mainly by commuters. Taxis are widely available, as are rideshare services. One of the best ways to get around is on two wheels; Seville has miles of safe cycle paths and an easy-to-use bike rental program called Sevici. The city is flat, so you shouldn’t get too tired, and there are plenty of e-bikes available.
2
Seville has excellent shopping, from high-end designers to chic Spanish department stores such as El Corte Ingles on Plaza del Duque, as well as boho markets and independent boutiques. Calle Sierpes is the place to head for designer fashion, while Calle Tetuan, which runs parallel, is another option for shoes, souvenirs, and clothing. Cross over the Guadalquivir River to the indoor Triana Market, and browse the Triana neighborhood for beautiful ceramics. Other souvenirs to look out for include painted tiles, frilly aprons, pretty folding fans, and flamenco dresses.
3
The currency in Spain is the Euro. There are ATMs all over Seville, although most places accept contactless cards and cash transactions are increasingly rare. Spain does not have a strong tipping culture; if you’ve received good service in a restaurant or tapas bar, it’s customary to leave 10 percent. A good tour guide would appreciate €5 to €10 in cash, but it’s not necessary to offer any more.

Tangier, Morocco 

From tea and spice markets to Moroccan haute cuisine, caves, museums, and preserved fortresses from centuries past, Tangiers has a great deal to offer. A cruise to Tangier is a great way to discover a cultural history unique to Morocco and much of the region. It’s a place where 20th-century artists once flocked to in droves to create some of their most iconic works. This majestic city is known as “The Door of Africa”, and the beating heart connecting two worlds. This is a can’t-miss destination, and one that will show you its bustling, cultural, and cosmopolitan sides all in one stop.
Travel Tips
1
Though public transportation is abundant in the form of buses, traveling by foot, private shuttle, or licensed taxi is best. Tangier can get crowded with visitors, particularly in the Medina and other central areas. This means walking is often the quickest way to get around. Private shuttles and licensed taxis are air-conditioned for comfort, and many services come with English-speaking drivers, too. Always negotiate a price before setting off.
2
For the best shopping in Tangier, you don’t have to go far. Head to the Fondouk Chejra weavers’ market for authentic hand-made woven rugs, robes, scarves, and clothes. Browse exquisite antiques at the Galerie Tindouf, and while there, head for some more local fare at the Tindouf Bazar next door. You will also find lots of great authentic souvenirs at small shops spread all over the Medina during your cruise to Tangier.
3
The local currency in Morocco is the dirham. There are ATMs in the city, but many are unavailable after banks close for the day. You can withdraw cash at the ATM located adjacent to the cruise terminal, or exchange currency once inside the old city walls. Cards are accepted in many places, as are Euros, but many smaller vendors prefer cash, so bring plenty with you on these cruises to Tangier. Tipping is common, but usually done by rounding up in small amounts, or leaving 5-10% for good service at a restaurant or following a tour.

Day at Sea Highlights

Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda 

Royal Naval Dockyard has something for everyone. Taste local flavors and stroll through the shops and museums. Or have a close encounter at Dolphin Quest, where you can see, pet and swim with these magnificent marine mammals.
Travel Tips
1
There are multiple ways to get around Royal Naval Dockyard and beyond. Under your own steam, you could rent a scooter or bicycle. Otherwise, there are minibusses offering shared rides, taxis, local buses, and ferries to Hamilton, the capital, and St. George’s, which are all clearly signposted. If you just want to stay within the Dockyard area, there’s a free tourist “train” connecting the main sights.
2
During your time in Bermuda, you can shop for local souvenirs like rum, rum cake, spicy pepper sauces, ceramics, linen, locally made fragrance, cedarwood items, and glassware. Royal Naval Dockyard has an impressive selection of shops where you can find all of these. Try the Crown & Anchor and Island Outfitters if you want to take home a pair of famous Bermuda shorts. You can buy hand-blown glass at Bermuda Glassworks, and rum-laced cake at Bermuda Rum Cakes. The Bermuda Arts Centre is also part of the Dockyard and features the work of local artists. You’ll find more local crafts in the Bermuda Craft Market in the historic Cooperage, the same building as the lively Frog & Onion Pub. The Dockyard Pharmacy goes beyond being a regular pharmacy and also sells flip flops, beach gear, and food. The Clocktower Mall, meanwhile, has more than 20 shops selling clothing, souvenirs, and crafts.
3
Bermuda’s currency is the Bermuda Dollar, which has the same value as the U.S. Dollar. Visitors may use USD to purchase just about anything around the island as it is widely accepted, though change may be given in Bermuda Dollars. Credit cards are accepted in most places. Tipping is welcome in Bermuda and is customary for a job well done. In restaurants, a tip of 15% to 17% is often already included in the bill, in which case it’s up to you whether you want to add more. Tip taxi drivers up to 15% on top of the fare, and good tour guides 10% of the cost of the tour.

Day at Sea Highlights

Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida 

When you sail to the Caribbean from Cape Canaveral, it’s worth arriving a day or two earlier to experience everything there is to see and do. Check out the charming lifestyle of nearby Cocoa Beach. Work on your tan before your cruise at one of the oceanfront resorts. Enjoy local seafood at the numerous rustic restaurants located on the water. Climb the four-story Exploration Tower at the Port for one of the best views of the ocean. Plus, no stay in Cape Canaveral is complete without visiting the area’s main attraction, the Kennedy Space Center, where you can meet an astronaut or even watch a rocket launch. Or since you’re less than an hour away from Orlando, you can visit the nearby theme parks to add even more wonder to your unforgettable Caribbean vacation.
Travel Tips
1
A rental car gives you the freedom to explore as you please and is a good idea if you’re staying in the area before or after your cruise. All the major companies operate here. In downtown Orlando, the I-Ride Trolley runs back and forth along International Drive, giving access to multiple restaurants, shops, hotels, and other attractions. In Port Canaveral itself, there’s a shuttle service to Cocoa Beach and Merritt Island. You’ll also find rideshare service here.
2
You’ll find an abundance of shopping opportunities in Orlando, specifically on International Drive, at Disney Springs, and in the outlet malls. You’ll find everything from designer labels to factory outlet bargains. Nearer Port Canaveral, visit Cocoa Village for local art and bright, whimsical tropical clothing and homeware. Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach sells all you need for surfing. The gift shop at the Kennedy Space Center is a fantastic place for quirky gift ideas, from freeze-dried ice cream to model rocket kits. Around 30 minutes from the port, The Avenue Viera is an open-air retail center with some big names, while Merritt Square Mall, just 15 minutes away, is great for big department stores and specialty shopping.
3
The currency in Florida is the U.S. Dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted. Tipping here is customary, as it is all over the United States. Leave 15-20% in restaurants for good service and tip taxi drivers and tour guides, too.
