Asilah - The Artist's Town
Join us on this walking tour of Asilah, a town more than 3,600 years old. Set at the northwest tip of Morocco, between the east and west, it’s been occupied over the years by the Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs and Spanish. It went on to become a Medieval Portuguese trading post and even a base for piracy in the 19th and 20th centuries. The flawless appearance of the town led to it being dubbed a National Monument, and in 1989 it received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. It’s very much an artists’ town, and summer brings artists and performers from all over the world for the International Festival of Asilah. They leave behind brightly-painted murals on the whitewashed walls, turning the town into an astonishing open-air art gallery. As most of the town’s just for pedestrians, this walking tour is a real pleasure. You’ll start by visiting the well-preserved ramparts, which offer up great views of the sea and its waves which crash angrily on the rocks below you. Carry on through AsilahBab el Bahar, the Sea Gate, and take a look outside Raissouli Palace. Then it’s on to the blue Andalusian-style medina where you’ll get some time for a little retail therapy.

Lisbon Panoramic
If you want to enjoy Lisbon’s sights from the comfort of a coach, this is the trip for you. It’s a full sightseeing tour that doesn’t involve any legwork. First up is the Belem Tower, a Medieval turret that’s become a symbol of Portugal. Perched on the banks of the Tagus River, its fairytale looks disguise its original role as a fort. Moving on, you’ll stop for photos at the Discoveries Monument, created in 1960 to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Prince Henry the Navigator. Next, you’ll head for the spectacular Jeronimos Monastery, next, where you can capture its beautiful exteriors on camera. From here, your journey will take you past the manicured Edward VII Park and the tree-shaded Avenida da Liberdade, before you stop for a breather at the fountain-speckled Rossio Square. The final stop of the day is the enormous riverside plaza, Comercio Square. Check out its beautiful arcades, triumphal arch and statue of King Jose I before you head back to ship.

Rancho Texas Park
Like animals? Then you’ll love Rancho Texas, Lanzarote’s very own conservation centre and modern zoo. There are over 50 animal enclosures, so you’ll meet crocodiles, tortoises, sea lions and plenty more on this tour. And you can watch some of them in action in four different themed shows. Where else can you see giant majestic eagles swooping inches above your head, or spot a parrot on roller skates? Add that to a gold mine, and plenty of children’s play areas – and you’ve got a real something-for-everyone day out. Plus, bringing the American theme to the table, you’ll get a Texas burger and fries to tuck into for lunch. Perfect munchies when you’re on the go.

4x4 Adventure
Buckle up for this adrenaline-pumping tour. You’ll board a 4x4 and travel on and off-road, trundling by sleepy villages, idyllic beaches and rugged mountains. On the first leg of the journey you’ll pass through traditional villages, colourful fields and palm groves on route to Tindaya. This whitewashed village spreads beneath volcanic Mount Tindaya, which locals say attracts witches and strange phenomena. The mountain was once used for religious worship and footprints left by Fuerteventura’s original Guanche inhabitants have been discovered on its slopes. Next, you’ll rumble past remote beaches en route to El Cotillo, a rustic fishing village flanked by windswept coves and lagoons. This makes it the perfect stop and if there's time, why not take a quick dip? On the home straight, we’ll pass the island’s famous sand dunes. Their awe inspiring golden sands backed with the turquoise water is the perfect place to stop for a photo before we return to the ship.
