The Route
St Martin
21 nights
Gibraltar / La Linea
How the route could go:
-
St Martin · Embarkation
St. Martin is the only island in the world divided between two nations - France (Saint-Martin in the north) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten in the south). French bakeries, Dutch casinos and 37 beaches on 87 km² - a Caribbean best-of in miniature format.
-
Gibraltar / La Linea · Disembarkation
At the Strait of Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar and Spanish La Linea sit directly side by side. The 426-metre Rock of Gibraltar with its Barbary macaques and St. Michael's Cave marks the boundary between Atlantic and Mediterranean, with views as far as Africa.
