Arriving in Marrakech, your first experience is a memorable lunch at the elegant Selman Marrakech. Renowned for its refined atmosphere and Arabian horse heritage, the hotel offers a unique setting where a spectacular equestrian show accompanies your meal, showcasing the grace and beauty of Morocco's prized horses.

After lunch, venture into the heart of the city and discover the legendary Medina of Marrakech. Wander through its maze of narrow alleyways and bustling souks, where artisans craft traditional goods, merchants display colorful wares, and the scent of spices fills the air. Accompanied by your knowledgeable guide, gain insight into centuries of history, culture, and daily life within this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As the afternoon draws to a close, transfer to your luxury hotel and enjoy time to relax and refresh.

Set within an opulent 19th century historical palace, the evening combines exquisite Moroccan cuisine with live music, traditional performances, and folkloric entertainment, creating an unforgettable introduction to Morocco's rich cultural heritage.

Following dinner, return to your hotel for an overnight stay at La Mamounia, where the elegance and charm of Marrakech continue long after the day's discoveries have ended.

After breakfast at your hotel, meet your guide and set out to explore one of Marrakech's most celebrated cultural landmarks: the enchanting Majorelle Gardens. Created by French artist Jacques Majorelle and later restored by fashion icon Yves Saint Laurent, this botanical oasis is renowned for its exotic plant collections, tranquil pathways, and the striking cobalt-blue architecture that has become synonymous with the gardens.

Continue with a visit to the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and the Berber Museum, where fascinating collections highlight Morocco's artistic traditions, indigenous heritage, and the lasting influence the country had on one of fashion's most legendary designers.

Following your morning discoveries, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before departing Marrakech and heading toward Casablanca, Morocco's vibrant economic capital.

Upon arrival, enjoy an exclusive after-hours visit to the Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation Museum.

Afterward, transfer to your hotel and settle into the elegant Royal Mansour Casablanca. Dinner will be served at the hotel, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and reflect on the remarkable experiences of the day.

Following breakfast, check out and depart Casablanca and travel to Morocco's elegant capital city, Rabat. Your first stop is the exterior of the Royal Palace, the official residence of the Moroccan monarchy and an important symbol of the nation's history and governance.

Continue to the remarkable Chellah Necropolis, one of Morocco's most fascinating archaeological treasures. Here, ancient Roman ruins blend seamlessly with medieval Islamic monuments, creating a peaceful and atmospheric site steeped in history. As you stroll through the gardens and stone pathways, discover the stories of the civilizations that have shaped Morocco over the centuries.

After lunch at a local restaurant, continue your journey north to the train station and board Morocco's modern high-speed train. Sit back and enjoy the comfortable ride to Tangier, traveling through some of the country's diverse landscapes.

Upon arrival in Tangier, transfer directly to the port to rejoin your ship.
