Mediterranean Sea & Morocco with Costa Magica 2021

This is the time to personalize your cruise experience—you can participate in any or all the activities scheduled onboard or do nothing more strenuous than lift an umbrella drink while reading a book poolside.

 

Marvel at the collision of old-world charm and modern architectural genius in Valencia - Spain's gateway to the Mediterranean. Among the baroque cathedrals, bustling plazas and engineering masterpieces, you'll find friendly locals, inspired artists and a rich cultural heritage.

 

A bustling coastal city and the capital of Costa del Sol, Málaga is the second largest port in Spain. One of the most interesting places to explore is the old historic quarter, which dates back nearly 800 years. The birthplace of Pablo Picasso, Málaga boasts miles of beautiful beaches, picturesque gardens and fantastic weather.

 

Cádiz may be the oldest inhabited city in the western world, with more than 3,000 years of history. Located on the southern coast of Spain, it borders both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Christopher Columbus departed on two of his voyages to the New World from here. Cádiz quickly grew into a major city by importing gold and silver and exporting sherry and cork. By the 18th century, Cádiz had become the wealthiest port in Western Europe. This beautiful coastal city has been largely undiscovered by international tourists, but it is a popular destination for Spaniards in the summer and during Carnival in February and March.

 

Forever immortalized by the classic movie of the same name, Casablanca is Morocco's modern metropolis.
Casablanca grew rapidly from a small settlement into a sprawling city of three million and even though it is not one of the famous imperial cities, Casablanca offers visitors a rare experience.
Everything is bigger here: the streets, the hotels, the office blocks and the slums. The people themselves say that; "Casablanca has no memory and no past, only a future."
A rich heritage of Art Deco architecture fused with North African elements acts as a tangible reminder of the city’s French colonial past.

 

The city is currently undergoing rapid development and modernisation. Projects include new tourism projects along the bay, a modern business district called Tangier City Centre, a new airport terminal, and a new football stadium. Tangier’s town beach is very much designed for tourists, with a very long curve along the white Tangier houses that eventually bottoms out at the mountains. Everyone from Moroccan families to the Europeans who are there only for a few days come and visit this beach, which makes it crowded but certainly a pleasant social event. Tangier is the beach walk, where you can see the older colonial homes further from the beach before you see the much more modern houses. If you’re looking for a less tourist-based beach, then certainly consider looking at the myriad of Atlantic Morocco beaches in the area, framed by mountains.

France’s second largest city and the capital of the Provence- Côte d'Azur region, the cosmopolitan city of Marseille lies on the southeast coast of France .

Although Marseille is the economic and industrial capital of France , it manages to remain true to its own traditions and culture, reflected in the Marseille way of life and its numerous museums, theatres and opera houses
