Begin in Barcelona and set out along Spain’s coast with an element of surprise, as each port of call is announced just 36 hours before arrival. The route favors smaller harbors and new-to-Windstar destinations, ending in Málaga after days shaped by shared discovery. From there, the journey stretches westward, stopping in Tangier, Casablanca and Madeira, before committing to the Atlantic.

Today is a surprise! Prepare to be captivated as anticipation builds with the unveiling of our mystery port, revealed only 36 hours before our ship arrives at its destination. Rest assured that you’ll still explore new places, meet amazing people and make unforgettable memories — because that’s what you do on a Windstar cruise.

Fortress, Tunnels & War History

Few places on Earth have been fought over like this one — and on this tour, its turbulent history comes vividly to life. With an expert guide, begin at a windswept southern viewpoint where a striped lighthouse dominates the horizon and two continents face each other across a famous strait. Meet the destination's oldest and most mischievous inhabitants before descending into an astonishing system of siege tunnels carved out of solid limestone by hand in the 1780s, a monument to military ingenuity that most visitors never see. Continue through the old town and venture along underground passages to one of the mightiest artillery pieces of its era. The tour concludes at the national museum, built over ancient baths and packed with artifacts spanning 200,000 years of history, before you choose between free time in the bustling town center or a ride straight back to the ship.

Roll with It: Sushi Workshop

Begin with a short panoramic drive that reveals your mystery port's dramatic setting — a place where cultures and continents have brushed shoulders for centuries — including a photo stop at a spectacular lighthouse viewpoint at the water's edge. Then trade the views for an apron: at a local venue, a professional sushi chef leads an interactive workshop that blends classic Japanese technique with the flavors of the surrounding coast. After a live demonstration covering the essentials — rice preparation, rolling, and balancing texture and flavor — it's your turn. Roll your own creations using freshly caught local fish and Mediterranean ingredients that reinterpret sushi in a creative, delicious way, then sit down to a tasting of everything you've made, along with local wine and beer throughout the experience.
