1. 1

   Lisbon, Portugal

   Welcome to Portugal and its capital city, Lisbon. One of the oldest cities in the world and the second oldest capital in Europe, this is a vibrant, multicultural hub with fascinating history, glorious architecture and incredible food.

   Step on board and you will be warmly welcomed with champagne. Your personalised butler will then guide you to your luxurious suite and familiarise you with the amenities.

   With the Discovery Yacht staying overnight, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Lisbon and savour the evening at your leisure.

   Please book your flight to arrive into Lisbon prior to 02:00 PM.

   Cascais, Portugal

   Cascais is a chic and vibrant town, renowned for its rich cultural attractions and a wide array of enjoyable activities, all set against the backdrop of stunning sandy beaches. The picturesque Praia da Conceição, located in the heart of Cascais, offers golden sands and lively beach bars, making it the ideal destination for both relaxation and fun under the sun.

   Leixoes (Porto), Portugal

   Enjoy a slow start this morning, perhaps with a luxurious breakfast in bed or a morning yoga class in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio.

Located at the Douro River estuary, Porto is renowned for its baroque architecture, charming riverfront, and world-famous port wine cellars.

   As the sun sets, take advantage of your overnight stay with a relaxed evening in Porto—perhaps savouring a traditional Portuguese dinner at a riverside restaurant or sipping vintage port wine in an atmospheric cellar.

5. 5

   At Sea > Vigo, Spain

   After days of exploration, enjoy some relaxation today as you explore the ultra-luxury surroundings of your Discovery Yacht. Perhaps start your day slowly with breakfast in bed delivered by your butler, or a coffee on your private verandah as the coast slips by. Take a dip in the outdoor Vitality pool on Deck 10 or indulge in the tranquil Senses Spa with its steam rooms, saunas and KLAFS Salt Therapy Lounge. As night falls, enjoy dinner with friends at your choice from up to 10 world-class dining experiences.

6. 6

   Vigo, Spain

   Located in the north of Spain, the coastal city of Vigo is ideal for exploring on foot. The Old Town, known as Casco Vello, is in the heart of Vigo, with lively bars and local restaurants serving Galician dishes.

7. 7

   Ferrol, Spain

   Part of the region of Galicia, it has a rich history as a fishing village and strategic naval port.

Around an hour inland, you can visit the World Heritage-listed city of Santiago de Compostela.

   Begin your day with a refreshing session in the PURE: Yoga & Pilates Studio or energise yourself with a workout in the state-of-the-art gym. Today you’ll arrive at Avilés, a historic gem in Spain’s Asturias region. Wander through the well-preserved medieval streets of the Casco Antiguo, where centuries-old architecture tells the story of an affluent past. Discover the Plaza del Carbayedo, a picturesque square lined with traditional buildings and home to a vibrant weekly market.

   As the day winds down, reflect on your day with new friends over dinner on board your ultra-luxurious Discovery Yacht.
