Trip description:
Come aboard the Santa Maria Manuela in Barcelona and embark on a five-day Mediterranean voyage to the Balearic Islands.
Use the time before embarkation to explore the Gothic Quarter, discover Gaudí's architecture or enjoy the city's vibrant food scene.
Barcelona, the dynamic capital of Catalonia, is a city where Gothic history meets modernist flair.
Begin your journey at the stunning Sagrada Família – Antoni Gaudí's famous basilica, which captivates with its intricate towers and ethereal light.
Stroll through the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter and discover hidden squares, centuries-old buildings and the imposing Barcelona Cathedral.
To feel the city's creative energy, visit the bustling La Boqueria market; there the colourful stalls overflow with fresh seafood, jamón and artisan delicacies.
Escape the city bustle in Park Güell – another Gaudí masterpiece – where imaginative mosaics and lush gardens offer a panoramic view of Barcelona's skyline.
And of course, no journey would be complete without a relaxed afternoon at Barceloneta beach, where you can enjoy the Mediterranean breeze over a seafood paella.
We leave Barcelona behind and set course for Menorca – with plenty of time to settle into the rhythm of life at sea.

Participation is entirely voluntary, and our crew will be on hand to assist you at all times.
During the passage, the crew invites you to take an active part in sailing the ship: hoist and trim the sails, take the helm, attend knot-tying workshops or even climb the mast.
Whether you want to get hands-on or prefer to relax and watch the activity – there's room on board for active learning as well as quiet moments of reflection.
The approach to Mahón is an experience in itself: we enter the long natural harbour, lined with waterfront buildings and historic fortifications.
Our stop offers the opportunity to wander through the town's streets, linger in a café and enjoy the view over the harbour.
Back aboard we continue our course towards Mallorca, sharing stories over communal meals as the voyage unfolds. winding lanes of the old town.
Our voyage ends in Palma; a somewhat longer stay there gives you the opportunity to explore the seafront cathedral, the shady courtyards and the
Palma lies on a sweeping bay in southwest Mallorca and is a port city that has been shaped by Mediterranean trade and seafaring over the centuries.
The waterfront promenade runs along the harbour and offers views of sailing boats and the sea, as well as numerous opportunities to linger over a coffee.
Rising above the waterfront is La Seu, the Gothic cathedral and one of the city's most striking landmarks.
Behind it stretches the old town with its narrow streets, shady courtyards and small squares; the Almudaina Palace bears witness to the island's layered history.
Palma also has much to offer in culinary terms – from market stalls with regional produce to cosy restaurants serving Mallorcan specialities.
Try a piece of "coca" – a savoury flatbread – or treat yourself to an "ensaïmada", the island's traditional spiral pastry, at a bakery.
With nearby beaches and the villages and walking trails of the Serra de Tramuntana in the surrounding area, Palma is an ideal base for exploring Mallorca or simply enjoying a few hours ashore.
Back on board we set course for Barcelona and enjoy another leg of our Mediterranean voyage before reaching the Catalan capital.
