Experience a fascinating journey through history and culture. Join MS Fram on this springtime voyage taking you through eight different ports of call, across five countries. Beginning our voyage along the beautiful coastline of Portugal, we will continue north through Spain, France and the Channel Islands before ending our journey in one of the largest ports in Europe – Hamburg in Germany.

Day 1 Lisbon, Portugal

One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon offers centuries of heritage and charm. Visit the city’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites; the Belem Tower and Jerónimos Monastery, or simply explore at your own pace, discovering the many hidden gems of Portugal’s capital before boarding MS Fram in the afternoon.

Day 3 La Coruña, Spain

Join an overland excursion to Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia. Here we find the magnificent Cathedral of Santiago which attracts thousands of
pilgrims every year. In the evening we call at La Coruña, where the harbour buildings with their glass and white frames have earned the town its nickname “The Crystal City”.
