The experience
Old-world beauty.
A less ordinary way to see it.
This itinerary moves through places shaped by centuries of trade, art, architecture, and cultural exchange. Lisbon, Cádiz, Casablanca, Tenerife, and Madeira each bring a distinct mood to the week.
Between them, two sea days shift the focus inward. The ship becomes a private world for couples, with room to join the social energy, reconnect quietly, or move freely between both.
The route
Three countries.
One unforgettable crossing.
The published route leaves Lisbon for Cádiz and Casablanca, turns toward the Canary Islands and Madeira, then returns to Portugal after a final day at sea.

Between the ports
The crossing changes the rhythm.
Sea days create space for poolside energy, expert-led workshops, long meals, and quieter moments together. After dark, theme nights and the playroom reveal another side of the voyage.
Pool deck
Atlantic sun. Desire energy.
When the ship is clear of port restrictions, designated pool and sun-deck areas become clothing optional.
Theme nights
A different invitation every evening.
Immersive themes give couples a reason to dress boldly, step into character, and follow the night wherever it goes.
Workshops
Connection, curiosity, and no pressure.
Expert-led sessions create a comfortable setting to explore ideas, learn together, and choose your own level of participation.
The playroom
Private, discreet, and designed for couples.
The couples-only playroom is the designated public space where intimate activity is permitted, always grounded in privacy and consent.
