Sail the western coast of Europe aboard the World Voyager, a deluxe small ship exclusively chartered for this cultural and culinary journey. Travel from Lisbon to London and immerse yourself in the rich heritage — and flavorful traditions — of Portugal, Spain, and France. Explore the UNESCO-listed old towns of Porto and Santiago de Compostela, and stand in awe of Mont-Saint-Michel, the iconic medieval abbey and World Heritage site.
Gain deeper insight into history with presentations by guest speaker Dwight David Eisenhower II, historian and grandson of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, as he brings added meaning to your exploration of Normandy’s D-Day landmarks. Personalize your experience with Traveler’s Choice excursions designed to suit your interests. In Porto, opt for a guided tour of medieval landmarks or enjoy a tasting of the city’s renowned port wine and cheeses. In Bilbao, choose between exploring the renowned Guggenheim Museum or attending a hands-on Basque cooking demonstration highlighting the bold, fresh flavors of northern Spain.
