Ports
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, its magnificent harbor made it a logical trading port as far back as the Phoenicians, as well as a departure point for 15th-century voyages sponsored by Prince Henry the Navigator, patron of Portuguese explorers.This city is rich in architecture, from Romanesque and Gothic to Post Modern, and crisscrossed by monument-studded grand boulevards. In addition to its own active cultural calendar, it is seeking a place on the world stage by hosting film festivals, art, fashion, design shows, book fairs, marathons, and rock concerts.
SEVILLE, SPAIN
The adventure begins once the ship starts its journey upriver the Guadalquivir, through spectacular landscapes and wonderful views of the city, until reaching the port of Seville.
The passionate nature of Sevillanos is evident in their devotion to bullfighting, flamenco, and fiesta. As Seville is credited with the invention of tapas, join in with the locals as they graze from bar to bar, making an entire meal out of the experience.
The city also has a rich history evident in its old quarters and landmarks. The great cathedral is immense, lavishly ornamented with painting, sculpture, and copious quantities of gold. The Alcazar, the main palace, is exquisitely decorated in Moorish style, with themed gardens laid out in terraces. All in all, an abundance of riches for all those who come to call.
GIBRALTAR, UNITED KINGDOM
The towering Rock of Gibraltar is a sight to behold. Overlooking the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea from a height of 1,400 feet, it is a natural fortress in a strategic position to control all naval traffic between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
Only three miles long and a mile wide, this peninsula attached to the Spanish mainland juts out into the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates continental Europe from North Africa, within a distance of only 14 miles.
MALAGA, SPAIN
Malaga is the lively capital of the Costa del Sol, famed for its beaches and mild climate, and gateway to Andalusia, with its Moorish architectural heritage. The city’s Alcazaba is a fine example, an 11th century citadel sitting in majestic splendor overlooking the African coast. It contains three magnificent palaces and graceful gardens with ornate fountains.
In addition to their rich cultural heritage, Malagueños are also proud of their most famous citizens, such as Picasso, having a museum commemorating his birth here, and actor Antonio Banderas.
IBIZA, SPAIN
Mountainous Ibiza is known as Isla Blanca, the White Island, perhaps because of the white walls of the traditional houses and churches that make up the small villages, dotting its landscape. Its atmosphere is reminiscent of Greek islands, making it unique among the Balearic Isles, and its rustic beauty attracts artists, as well photo and film shoots.
Once you’ve explored the sights of the island, including its fabulous and exclusive beach clubs, be sure to take a nap and rest up for the evening’s festivities, since Ibiza’s nightlife is legendary within the jet set and its atmosphere is something not to be missed.
BARCELONA, SPAIN
Dynamic Barcelona is all about architecture, from the magnificent medieval buildings of the Gothic Quarter to the Modernist movement typified by the work of Antoni Gaudi. Though his materials were stone and metal, his forms were organic, awash in curves, swirls, and colors. His masterpiece is the amazing Church of the Sagrada Familia, colossal and as yet unfinished, though construction began in 1882.A contemporary contribution to the scene is Ricardo Bofill’s post-modernist National Theater of Catalonia, an imaginative combination of classical and modern design, with a greenhouse-like lobby.
The Cruise
Bliss Morocco Charter Cruise sails the sensational landscapes of Spain for an 8 day/7 night voyage that departs from Barcelona and includes several stops in Spain with a highlight port of call in Casablanca, Morocco. This Spain immersive itinerary will truly connect you to the countries' authentic heart of local life and culture while the days at sea will allow you to connect to other open-minded, adventurous couples.

Ports
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a cosmopolitan masterpiece. With a history rich in art and architecture, medieval, Gothic, and modern influences can be seen all over the city. You can marvel at Gaudi's Sagrada Familia or stroll up the shady, tree-lined Las Ramblas boulevard and discover some of the city's best shopping and bustling cafes.
Malaga, Spain
Málaga is like a beautiful work of art. And it’s no wonder considering, considering it was the birthplace of Picasso. You’ll find a museum commemorating his birth here, which is a must-visit destination for art fans. Elsewhere, be sure to spend some time in the city’s Alcazaba, a 11th-century citadel that is home to three palaces, beautiful gardens, and opulent fountains.
Cadiz, Spain
In Cadiz, cobblestone streets lead into café-filled squares, where you can sip while appreciating the Moorish architecture. Or visit Seville, where the locals are devoted to bullfighting, flamenco, and fiesta. The city also has a rich history evident in its old quarters and landmarks – an immense lavishly ornamented cathedral, and the Alcazar palace, exquisitely decorated in Moorish style.
Casablanca, Morocco
Casablanca is a port city and commercial hub in western Morocco, fronting the Atlantic Ocean. The city's French colonial legacy is seen in its downtown Mauresque architecture, a blend of Moorish style and European art deco. Standing partly over the water, the enormous Hassan II Mosque, completed in 1993, has a 210m minaret topped with lasers directed toward Mecca.
Valencia, Spain
Marvel at the stunning mix of innovative architecture and gothic beauty when you visit Valencia. This Spanish city is home to many avant-garde buildings, including the breathtaking City of Arts and Sciences cultural complex. Elsewhere, palaces and mansions constructed in the 15th century dot the cityscape, while The Silk Exchange resembles a medieval fortress housing many mysterious carvings.

Ports
ATHENS (PIRAEUS), GREECE
Cradle of European Civilization
You could spend a lifetime in Europe’s oldest city and still not see everything it has to offer. Settled over 3,500 years ago, Athens is like a mythological crossroads of the past and present, where modern buildings share the skyline with spectacular ruins like the Parthenon.
For an archaeological walk, make your way to Vasilissis Amalias Street, winding through the heart of the ancient city. The route leads to landmarks like the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, Arch of Hadrian, and of course, the Acropolis.
After all that, you’re probably going to work up quite an appetite. So, head to the Central Market for fresh fruit and veggies, nuts, olives, and Grecian cheese like feta, graviera, or aged kefalotyri. Snacking is not a bad idea since Athenians usually don’t head out for dinner until at least 9 p.m.
And if you need a little extra pick-me-up to make it that late, have a frappe, a Greek creation of strong iced coffee with milk and sugar. Additionally, neighborhoods like Pangrati, Exarhia, and Petralona feature fantastic tavernas where you can rub elbows with the locals while dining on the sidewalk well into the wee hours of the night.
SANTORINI, GREECE
Gem of The Aegean
It’s been said the sunset from Oia, on the island of Santorini, is the most beautiful in the world, but you don’t have to wait until dusk to see your share of postcard-worthy views, Santorini is stunning any time of day.
The capital, Fira, clings to the rim of the caldera 900 feet above the sea. Take the cable car or, if you’re looking for a more authentic experience, giddy up on a donkey to climb the 588 zigzagging steps to the top. The white cobblestone streets bustle with shops, tavernas, and cafes, perfect for sampling the tomatoes and white eggplant for which Santorini is renowned.
If you’re feeling ambitious, hike to nearby Oia, a quintessential Greek village. Plan your day accordingly to enjoy a glass of Vinsanto (a sweet, strong dessert wine) as the sun sinks into the sea.
To end the day, drive by black, white, and red volcanic beaches and head south to the 3,500-year-old Minoan town Akrotiri. Often called Greece’s answer to Pompei, the well-preserved ruins provide a glimpse into Santorini’s storied (and explosive) past
RHODES GREECE
The island of Rhodes offers a stunning combination of sea, sand, and sights. With more than 300 days of sunshine per year, and over 10,000 years of history, you’ll find plenty to tickle your fancy here.First on your agenda should be the picture-perfect city of Rhodes, one of the best-preserved medieval cities in all of Europe. With its combination of sandstone buildings, the cobblestoned Street of the Knights, and charming turreted buildings, it’s no wonder this is such a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site.And speaking of wonders, next up on your magical history tour is the Rhodes waterfront, where once stood the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although the nearly 100-feet statue of Helios, the Greek god of sun, was destroyed in an earthquake around 250 BC, you can imagine what it must have been like to arrive in this harbor thousands of years ago.Just a short ride away, the medieval town of Lindos features ruins like the 4th-century BC temple of Athena Lindia, the castle of the Knights of Saint John, and stacked-like giant sugar cubes on a steep hill. Hitch a donkey ride to the acropolis for spectacular views of the town and Saint Paul’s Bay.
EPHESUS (KUSADASI), TURKEY
We could chat about the resort town of Kusadasi and its beaches and restaurants, or nearby places like Dilek Peninsula National Park, but let’s talk Ephesus, once the second largest city in the Roman Empire, eclipsed only by Rome.There’s the Library of Celsus –still magnificent almost 2,000 years later–, the Odeon, and the 24,000-capacity Great Theatre, where St. Paul used to preach. Stretching from this jaw-dropping amphitheater to the harbor is the marble-made Arcadian Street. Also, stroll past the marketplaces, colonnades, and the fields of wild fennel, and into bath complexes that once offered piped-in hot water and sauna.Surrounding Ephesus, the sites are equally spellbinding. Explore the ruins of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; the Basilica of St. John, which stands over the believed burial site of John the Apostle; and the House of Virgin Mary, where Mary is supposed to have spent her last days.
PATMOS, GREECE
The tiny island of Patmos is a place of deep importance for Christianity. It’s where the last book of the New Testament was allegedly written, and where an air of mystery still hangs over the island, like the misty fog that seems to be ever-present just off the shore.Visit the ominous-sounding Cave of the Apocalypse, where John the Apostle stayed after Domitian exiled him in AD 95. Look up at the ceiling to see the crack where Jesus appeared to him and inspired him to write the Book of Revelations.Fast-forward to 993 years in history by visiting the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, found by Saint Christodoulou in honor of Saint John. The massive monastery still stands guard over Patmos town to this day.Then, make the pilgrimage back to Skala (where all roads on the island seemingly lead). Find a lush Tamarisk tree to lounge beneath and indulge on a picnic of local delicacies like fresh octopus and savory cheese pie. Be on the lookout for celebrities, too, since folks like Richard Gere and Bono have all been spotted here, perhaps in search of their own divine inspiration.
MYKONOS, GREECE (OVERNIGHT)
Mykonos looks like a scene straight from a postcard: whiter-than-white houses with brilliant blue shutters, vibrant bougainvillea, and a beautiful blue harbor drenched in warm sunlight. Iconic 16th century Venetian windmills stand in a row, their paddles spinning in the wind, and the district of Little Venice, which rises like a brightly colored wall coming out of the sea.But beneath the idyllic scenery, Mykonos is vibrant and cosmopolitan, with a penchant for all-night parties and hedonistic good times. By day, stroll along the maze-like cobblestone streets, exploring artists’ shops and enjoying a couple of glasses of ouzo.As soon as the sun goes down, it’s time to let loose. Known as “the Ibiza of Greece”, Mykonos has a serious party scene that’s not for the faint of heart.Mykonos is also a perfect jumping off point for Delos. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the uninhabited island is said to be the birthplace of the twin deities Apollo (god of the sun) and Artemis (goddess off the moon). So, it’s little wonder so many flock to worship the sun by day, and dance beneath the moon at night.

Ports
Oranjestad, Aruba
Located on the picturesque southern coast, Oranjestad is the historic Dutch capital of Aruba, where the traditional, tall, multicolored houses combine carved wooden doors and typical Dutch tiles with open-air patios. The charm of the city complements the beauty of this popular Caribbean island where the Dutch and indigenous cultures have merged to give Aruba its unique atmosphere. Today's visitors can enjoy this culture along with beautiful beaches, excellent snorkeling and exciting nightlife.
Willemstad, Curacao
Curacao is the largest of the six islands that comprise the Netherlands Antilles. It gained autonomy from the Netherlands in 1954, but the Dutch influence is still very visible in Willemstad's architecture and culture. With the growth of the oil industry in Curacao in the early 20th century, workers and their families came to the island from more than 50 countries, providing a varied and vibrant population. Everyone should experience the sights, sounds and energy of this unique destination. You'll feel as if you are in Amsterdam, not on a Caribbean island.

Ports
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
Samba on down to Rio, famous for its dramatic landscape and beach culture. It is usually quite easy going, except for the four days of its feather-festooned Carnival.
From the summits of Sugarloaf and Corcovado, take in breathtaking views of a magnificent bay set against a mountain backdrop. Check out the activity at one or two of the 23 beaches, crowded with sunbathers, swimmers, surfers, and bikers.
For lunch or dinner, pull up a chair at a churrascaria and dine on the delicious grilled meat of your choice, washed down with a caipirinha, the national cocktail.
No journey to Rio would be complete without a visit to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer). At the top of the Corcovado Mountain, towering high above the city below, this 125-foot tall statue of Jesus Christ spreads its arms over Rio and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Guanabara Bay.
COPACABANA BEACH, Brazil
Often referred to as “the world’s most famous beach”, Copacabana is a slice of Brazilian paradise. It extends along the residential area of Rio de Janeiro for almost three spectacular miles. And with its combination of lush jungle-clad mountains, historic buildings, lively restaurants and bars, and sun-tanned bodies as a beautiful backdrop, it’s like no other beach on earth.
New Year’s Eve at Copa is second only to the Carnival in the ranks of Rio’s highly developed party culture. Aboard the Desire Rio de Janeiro Cruise, we will welcome the New Year with explosions of color and light. Stunning fireworks will lighten up the sky at the stroke of midnight, as we celebrate the first day of 2021 in the most seductive way.
The wearing of auspicious colors is also a New Year’s local custom: white for luck, green for good health, yellow and gold for prosperity, and blue for peace. So, color coordinate accordingly for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve with us.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not be disembarking at this port, we will be enjoying the festivities, fireworks, special New Year’s Eve dinner, show, and performances from the ship. We will be navigating at 2:00 a.m. on January 1st, 2023.
PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay
Fashionable Punta del Este is one of the world’s most appealing seaside resorts. Fashionable cafes and shops line the streets, and an evening harbor-front stroll will no doubt include a serenade by street musicians and entertainers. Gorlero Street is the main street, where you will find a bulk of Punta del Este’s prime attractions, it is about 10 blocks long and easily walkable. Be sure and keep your eyes peeled as you never know who you might see stroll by, it is a popular hotspot for the famous during this time of year.
The town projects an artsy vibe, with a contemporary museum and the Brava Beach open-air sculpture park displaying large works in steel, concrete, wood, iron, and marble. Don’t miss out on the photo opportunity with The Hand, a sculpture depicting five gigantic fingers coming out of the sand. Then, visit the fascinating Casa Pueblo, home of artist Carlos Paez Vilaros, a dazzling white fantasy on a hillside overlooking the town.
After a day out, it’s time to get the party started. Punta del Este is best enjoyed for its nightlife. Day parties start around 5:00 p.m., long dinners with cocktails flowing around start at 10:00 p.m., and the clubs and bars last long past sunrise.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay
Montevideo exudes European charm and elegance, with broad boulevards, fountains, stately squares, and irresistible sidewalk cafes.
The city maintains a low-key atmosphere despite its position as Uruguay’s commercial and political hub, and there are few skyscrapers on the horizon, though there are some surprising contrasts such as an Art Nouveau pedestrian mall, an Art Deco Centenary Stadium, and an American Embassy designed by IM Pei. Most of the nation’s countryside is farm or ranchland, and the life of the cowboy, or gaucho is part of the local lore.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Welcome to elegant, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, with its European colonial architecture and colorful mix of cultures. Each district has its own style: enjoy Palermo, with its mansions and parks; shop in the chic boutiques of Soho and Hollywood; and soak up the Italian flavor of La Boca, where tango dancers and artists display their talents for passersby.
A visit to Buenos Aires is not complete without a visit to the National Museum of Fine Arts. It is not only a unique experience, but one of the oldest and most respected attractions in the city. From classic to controversial, you will find works from extraordinary artists such as Van Gogh, Degas, Monet, and Picasso.
Be sure to squeeze in a visit to Colon Theater, one of the most important opera houses in the world. Performances on this stage have shaped its world-renowned prestige. The exceptional acoustic and architectural conditions of this building place it withing the top 10 theaters worldwide.
The spectacular Puente de la Mujer (Spanish for Woman’s Bridge), inspired by tango, is a rotating footbridge that was designed by Santiago Calatrava. The white mast symbolizing the man, and the curve of the bridge, the woman. This footbridge is one of the most famous landmarks in the neighborhood of Puerto Madero.
You and your partner can witness much of the city’s history from the balconies of Casa Rosada, from which Juan and “Evita” Perón addressed the masses during the late 40s and early 50s. Dominating Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada (the Pink House) is the seat of the Argentine national government and houses the president’s office.Finally, top off the perfect day with an Argentine steak, perfectly grilled over a fire of glowing coals, and wash it down with an excellent glass of Malbec.

Pre-Cruise
Stay tuned for information on hotels and activities the night before the cruise.
Ports
Georgetown, Grand Cayman
George Town cruise port is located on the island of Grand Cayman, which is the largest of the Cayman Islands. Grand Cayman has the glitz and glam you might expect from a city known for its finance district, but the island is also home to tropical Caribbean attractions such as caves, forests, pristine white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue ocean waters. These two sides of the island: the finance and the beach - give Georgetown a beautifully vibrant atmosphere unlike any other Caribbean cruise island. Enjoy swimming and feeding wild stingrays! These beautiful creatures are harmless, making them the most loved tourist attractions on the Grand Cayman.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Ocho Rios is a port town on the north coast of Jamaica. A former fishing village, it's now a resort with a cruise ship harbor and a busy bay beach that's lined with hotels. The surrounding parish of Saint Ann is home to rainforest, rivers and waterfalls. Dunn's River Falls is a terraced, 180m mountain waterfall with lagoon pools, surrounded by trees. Many visitors to Ocho Rios enjoy a hike up Dunn's River Falls where you'll pass through a series of limestone steps hidden beneath the rushing water. Stop along the way for a dip in one of the falls' clear, terraced pools.
