Mit nicko cruises Hochseekreuzfahrt nach Italien Rom

Jewels along the Spanish and Italian coasts

11 days | Lisbon - Gibraltar - Melilla - Cartagena - Sardinia - Rome - Sorrento - Malta

Spanish temperament and Italian dolce vita: we think that's an excellent combination! Especially when you experience it not only at tourist hotspots, but at selected locations. On this
cruise with the VASCO DA GAMA, we will take you to cities in both countries that you may not have heard of so often before. Become an insider and discover tourist gems that many travelers to Spain and Italy
don't even know exist! Including: Melilla as a Spanish exclave on North African soil, Cartagena with its impressive forts and the Sardinian capital of Cagliari. You have the opportunity to explore Rome at your leisure before going into raptures in Sorrento, Italy.

On the route between these wonderful destinations in Spain, we make a stop in the United Kingdom. In Gibraltar, you can watch the Barbary macaques, enjoy fi sh & chips in a pub, or visit Gorham’s Cave.
Melilla is known to most – if at all – only as a Spanish exclave in North Africa. Hardly anyone knows that the most Art Nouveau buildings in Spain are to be found here – after Barcelona.
In Cartagena, you can experience the fi ery temperament of the Spanish up close during a fl amenco show. Olé!
Su Nuraxi is the name of the archaeological site in Sardinia that will take you back to the time far before Christ. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
