Palma, Majorca
Big, beautiful and Balearic – see why the popular Spanish island of Majorca is a holiday favourite.
If you’re on a 14 night cruise (or a 7 night cruise with a late flight) don’t miss the chance to explore pretty Palma, built by the Moors in the style of a casbah (or walled citadel). Take time out to explore the narrow alleys of the old town, spy on the super-sleek yachts in the busy harbour, tuck into some tapas or dash to the designer boutiques and stock up on something super-chic.

Almudaina Palace – Explore this stunning palace, once the home of the Majorcan monarchs, and see the amazing art, armour and tapestries.
Bellver Castle – From this unusual round hilltop fortress you can see across the island and the beautiful Bay of Palma.
La Seu – It’s big and Gothic and is Palma’s most famous building. The impressive cathedral is a must-see for visitors.
