7-Night Cruise With 3 Nights Madrid Pre-Cruise And 3 Nights Lisbon Post-Cruise
Cruise From: Vega de Terrón to Porto
Two iconic cities, Lisbon and Madrid, provide the perfect start and end to a grand journey through Portugal and Spain. Cosmopolitan Lisbon offers a treasure trove of Old World architecture and a wealth of stories about its famed explorers; and then there is the seaside town of Sintra, one of the loveliest mountain villages in Portugal and a favorite summer residence of the Portuguese royal family for more than 500 years.
