✨ And so I packed my bags… and took off on this incredible adventure! ✨
Who will be next to live the dream... maybe you?
🌍 14 days | Valletta to Barcelona | Oceania Allura
This is exactly the kind of journey I love — one that feels less like a traditional cruise and more like an incredible exploration of Europe, North Africa and the Atlantic Islands.
And this time, I’m not just recommending it… I’m experiencing it myself! 🛳️❤️
We’re talking Malta, Tunisia, Spain, Madeira, the Canary Islands and Morocco — all in one beautifully curated itinerary.
I invite you to scrooll down my page as I am sharing the experience along the way, from the destinations and excursions to the food, the ship and all those little details you really want to know before booking a cruise.
And the ship? Oceania Allura, the newest addition to Oceania Cruises’ fleet. Think intimate, refined luxury rather than a mega-ship: spacious all-veranda accommodations, beautiful residential-style spaces and exceptional personalized service.
But here’s what makes this particular sailing even more special… 🍷🍽️
It’s a Food & W**e Best New Chefs Cruise, hosted by celebrated chef Katie Button, a five-time James Beard Award nominee.
Oceania is already famous for The Finest Cuisine at Sea®, but on this voyage, food and w**e become part of the journey itself — with culinary demonstrations, exclusive menu creations, tastings and pairings inspired by the destinations we visit.
And those destinations… 🤩
🇲🇹 Valletta, Malta – Baroque architecture, ancient history and one of the Mediterranean’s most spectacular harbours.
🇹🇳 Tunis, Tunisia – The medina and souks, ancient history and the gorgeous blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Saïd.
🇪🇸 Cartagena & Málaga – Roman history, Andalusian culture, the Alcazaba and the opportunity to discover Granada and the Alhambra.
🇵🇹 Madeira – Dramatic cliffs, lush landscapes and spectacular Atlantic views.
🌋 Canary Islands – La Palma, Tenerife and Lanzarote, with volcanic landscapes that almost look like another planet.
🇲🇦 Agadir & Casablanca – Souks, kasbahs, Berber culture, Atlantic scenery and the magnificent Hassan II Mosque.
🇪🇸 Seville/Cádiz – Andalusia at its best: architecture, tapas, w**e, flamenco and centuries of history.
And finally… Barcelona. ❤️
What attracted me to this itinerary was the contrast. One day I’ll be walking through a centuries-old Mediterranean city, the next exploring Morocco, then sipping w**e overlooking the Atlantic or discovering the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands.
Add the incredible cuisine and intimate luxury of Oceania Allura, and this becomes so much more than simply a cruise.
So yes… I packed the bags and left. 😉
Now I’m inviting you to come along virtually, see what this experience is really like — and maybe start thinking about where your next adventure could take you.
And if something you see makes you think “I need to do this!”… you know who to message. 😉✈️🌍🛳️
