MSC Meraviglia

Hang out by the pool, experience illusions displayed on the promenade’s gigantic digital dome roof, visit the amusement park or see a dazzling Broadway number. During a cruise onboard MSC Meraviglia you can choose from a broad range of activities for the whole family.

Brest

Situated on Brittany’s rugged Atlantic coast, Brest is a vibrant French port city renowned for its rich maritime heritage, fascinating history and stunning coastal landscapes. Overlooking one of Europe’s finest natural harbours, Brest offers visitors a blend of historic attractions, scenic waterfronts and authentic Breton culture.

Explore the impressive National Maritime Museum, stroll along the bustling marina, or admire panoramic sea views from the city’s coastal promenades. With its unique character, fresh seafood and strong seafaring traditions, Brest is a captivating destination that showcases the very best of north-west France, making it a standout stop on any European cruise itinerary.

Lisbon

The capital of the country situated on the North bank of the River Tagus as it flows under the imposing Vasco Da Gama suspension bridge (the longest in Europe) before it reaches the ocean. Within walking distance of the cruise terminal is the area known as is Belem - with the largest number of heritage sites connected with Portuguese maritime history such as the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos from 1501, the Maritime Museum and the Museum of Archaeology.

The Torre de Belem is another marvellous monument and classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Parque das Nações is the site of the 1998 World Fair; and is a lively area where the locals have fun, enjoy shows, go for a walk, play sport and shop. Here you will also find the Oceanário de Lisboa which is one of the largest public aquaria in Europe to promote knowledge of the oceans.

Perhaps visit the Pavilion of Knowledge (Ciência Viva) which is an interactive science and technology museum. Mainly games-based, its exhibitions and activities allow children to explore a variety of themes in an interactive and fun way.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory on the south coast of Spain known for the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m limestone ridge at its centre. Gibraltar occupies 7 sq. km of a peninsula bordered to the north by the region of Andalusia. First settled by Moors in the Middle Ages and later ruled by Spain, the outpost was joined to Britain in 1713. Gibraltar has its own airport where the main road across the peninsula runs directly across the runaway.

Malaga

In Malaga you can visit nearby Grenada to see the world-famous Alhambra Palace, a masterpiece of Moorish art. Take an excursion to nearby Nerja to see the impressive prehistoric caves or take the kids on the wild rides at Tivoli World theme park.

Cadiz

Cadiz stands on a peninsula jutting out into a bay and is almost entirely surrounded by water. The Phoencians founded Cadiz as a trading post in 1100 BC and it became a thriving Roman port. It sank into oblivion under the Moors but attained great prominence in the early 16th century as a launching point for the journey to the new world in America. Cadiz was also raided by Sir Francis Drake and managed to withstand a siege by Napoleon's army. Cadiz is situated just 99km away from Seville which is the epicentre of Moorish architecture and history. With UNESCO classing a complex of three buildings in Seville as a World Heritage Site - namely the Cathedral, Alcazar Palace, and Archive of the Indies - it's no wonder that cruisers flock to Seville from Cadiz.

Disembark the ship after breakfast and make your way home.
