Gibraltar cruises

Delve into 300-year-old tunnels and meet cheeky monkeys in Gibraltar.

Where we sail in Gibraltar

Red post boxes, waterfront fish and chip shops and seaside hotels – Gibraltar’s a lot like a bite-sized version of Blighty. But thanks to its spot on Spain’s southern coast, the weather’s much more Mediterranean, with lows of around 15oC during winter. Our cruises to Gibraltar dock in the city’s biggest harbour. You’ll have easy access to a lot of the territory’s standout historical and natural sights, like the Rock of Gibraltar and its Napoleon-era underground tunnels. Our itineraries that tick off Gibraltar stop off in places like Malaga, Lisbon and Cadiz, too, so there’s no shortage of culture-filled cities for you to explore along the way.

War relics and walking routes

Throughout the centuries, Gibraltar’s been used as a defensive fort by the English and Spanish, so most of its sights are military-related. During a Spanish and French siege in the 18th century, British soldiers dug miles of maze-like, underground tunnels. These were later expanded during the Second World War, and are now one of Gibraltar’s must-see attractions. If you’re a photographer or hiker, meanwhile, the top of the Rock of Gibraltar’s the place to be. You can take in panoramic views of Spain and the Mediterranean from the top of the 400-metre-tall peak, as well as meet some barbary monkeys – the only wild primates in Europe.

Gibraltar

Affectionately known as Gib or The Rock, Gibraltar is a little slice of Britain in the Mediterranean. And, just like the motherland, it’s a small stretch of land with a lot to offer. The history here is largely military-related – you’ll find Nelson’s anchorage where the body of Nelson was brought back to land after the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Parson’s Lodge Battery that dates back to 1875.
