North Balearic Islands
Located off the east coast of Spain, the Balearic archipelago is a collection of verdant terraces, historical sites, hidden bays, breathtaking beaches and towns full of life and color.
The cruise winds around the largest island of the Archipelago - Mallorca. Its main city Palma, one of the most beautiful historical centers of the Mediterranean, rises in a spectacular bay that makes it even more fascinating and characteristic.
From here you can reach pristine beaches and quiet bays where you can enjoy the sea and the sun, until you reach the archipelago of Cabrera, today a maritime-terrestrial national park, habitat of large colonies of sea birds and also dolphins, turtles and morays.
The detailed route will be explained by the Captain upon embarkation. This can be changed at anytime due to safety reasons, weather conditions and logistics. The route may not follow the sequence of stops as described
1st day
Arrive early and visit the old city of Palma. Walk along its cobblestone streets. Visit one of the most famous gothic cathedrals in Europe: the Palma Cathedral, known as “La Seu,” which roughly translates as “the seat” and probably refers to the bishop’s seat. And take in Palma’s historic atmosphere and charm before boarding at 18:00 / 06:00 pm. Installation on board, security briefing. Set sails for a short navigation (1h30 max.) to Cala Portals Vells, a beautiful cove with pristine waters. Dinner and overnight on board.
2nd day
After breakfast, departure to Cala Pi. Its lovely beach and clear, calm turquoise waters are suitable for swimming and snorkeling and for children. Centuries ago, pirates were a problem in this area, and the remnants of a medieval watchtower still remain. Lunch on board in this popular anchorage. If wind or weather conditions are too rough, we will continue on to the port of Sa Rapita (approximately 3 nm to the east) where there is a marina. After lunch we set sail for Colonia Sant Jordi (15MN – 2h30). Colonia is known for its beautiful white-sand beaches, including Es Carbo, frequented by the Spanish royal family, and Es Trenc, a 2-mile-long (3.2 km) natural and more isolated beach with lovely golden sand and crystal clear waters. Swimming, beachcombing and snorkeling. In town, there are many popular restaurants and tapas bars along Avinguda de la Primavera (Primavera Avenue). We will anchor for the night between the islets of Gabina and Redona. Dinner and night on board.
3rd day
We will sail north after breakfast and enjoy the scenic coastline on the way to Cala Figuera. Known to the locals as “Little Venice,” Cala Figuera is a quaint and more secluded anchorage along the southeast coast of Majorca. The port is still primarily a traditional fishing community with picturesque whitewashed cottages and boathouses that stretch down to the water’s edge. After lunch on board, you will enjoy the quiet, natural setting. Then we will sail to Porto Petro, a former fishing port which became a very nice seaside resort with a beautiful sheltered bay. Dinner and night on board.
4th day
After breakfast, departure to Cala Santany It’s a nice cove with a fine white sandy beach and crystal clear waters, perfect to swin in. It’s surrounded by rocky cliffs and forests filled with pine trees.
Built on the headland and overlooking the bay, stand the Torre Nova de la Roca Fesa, a lookout tower that was built in 1663 to protect this part of the coast from pirates. After lunch, snorkeling or kayaking to the nearby gorgeous cave. Dinner and night on board.
5th day
In the morning we set sails to Cabrera National Park. The Cabrera Archipelago is a maritime-terrestrial national park which lies 10km off the south east coast of Mallorca. It consists of a main island (Cabrera), 6 smaller islands and a dozen of rocky islets. This archipelago is known for its birdlife and rich marine environment. You’ll enjoy a wonderful snorkeling within a pristine underwater world.
Later in the afternoon, take a walk to the castle which overlooks the harbour. It was built at the end of the 14th century in response to the number of pirate attacks that Majorca was suffering. From there, enjoy the beautiful sunset. Dinner and night on board.
6th day
After breakfast, departure to Es Trenc beach. This beautiful beach extends over two and a half kilometres along a protected, and therefore undeveloped dune landscape in the south of the island. The vast natural landscape, the soft white sand and the breathtaking clear blue of the water makes the hearts of nature lovers, photographers and snorkelers. The unique, turquoise shades of the sea give the beach a tropical flair.
There are a few "chiringuitos" (bars with small shops) that offer a wide range of meals, snacks, drinks and beach accessories, and play Latin American music from 6pm onwards.
You’ll spend a relaxing day there, snorkeling and beachcombing. Dinner and night on board.
