| Duration: | 23 nights |
This 23-night extended voyage sails roundtrip from Belfast, carrying you on a richly layered journey from northern Europe into the warmth, colour and history of the Mediterranean aboard Ambition. With generous sea days and a wide-ranging itinerary, the cruise is designed for travellers who enjoy settling into a longer adventure, where the journey itself becomes part of the pleasure.
After departing Belfast and Liverpool, the route turns south to Lisbon, where river views, historic quarters and creative energy offer a bright introduction to southern Europe. Spain’s Mediterranean coast follows with calls at Almería and Alicante, where sunlit promenades, historic streets and relaxed coastal living set the tone. In Sicily, discover contrasting perspectives of the island in Palermo and Messina, from lively markets and sweeping harbours to layers of ancient history woven into daily life.
Mainland Italy adds depth and scale, with Naples providing access to remarkable archaeological and cultural landmarks, Civitavecchia serving as the gateway to Rome, and Livorno opening the door to Tuscany’s elegant cities and rolling countryside. Valencia brings a balance of contemporary design and historic tradition, before Gibraltar marks a dramatic geographical pause at the meeting point of seas and continents. The homeward journey is softened by calls at Cádiz and Vigo, where Atlantic culture, maritime heritage and local character provide a warm farewell before returning to Belfast.
Generous in time and rich in variety, this Belfast roundtrip cruise offers an immersive exploration of southern Europe - blending culture, cuisine and coastline in a thoughtfully paced voyage designed to deepen with every destination.
Lisbon
Lisbon unfolds across seven hills, offering constant surprises of light, colour and movement. Ride a historic tram through narrow streets, pause at hilltop viewpoints overlooking the Tagus River, or glide above the waterfront on the cable car at Parque das Nações, where the city feels open, bright and full of life. Neighbourhoods hum with music and conversation, tiled façades catching the sun as locals greet one another with easy warmth. Visit Belém’s great monuments or simply wander, letting the city’s friendly, vibrant spirit lead the way. Lisbon is joyful, welcoming and alive.
Valencia
Bright, creative and effortlessly Mediterranean, Valencia balances old and new with ease. Medieval streets and grand plazas lead into futuristic architecture, while green gardens follow the curve of a former riverbed. Add golden beaches and a deep-rooted food culture, and Valencia becomes a city that rewards every kind of wanderer.
Gibraltar
Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, captivates with its iconic rock and maritime history as the gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Explore historic fortifications and keep an eye out for the iconic Barbary macaques that roam the streets.
