9 Nights / 5 Rounds
28 March - 7 April 2009

Spain and Morocco are known for their sensuous scenery, storied history, entrancing culture and increasingly, for their superlative golf courses. Join the exclusive community of golfers who have played these emerging centers and of non-golfers who have explored the luminous culture surrounding them. Let the games begin in the Southern Iberian Peninsula onboard the 34 guest Callisto. The list of courses is impressive with Valderrama, which in 1997 hosted golf’s pinnacle event, the Ryder Cup, Sotogrande, which is one of the finest venues on the Costa del Sol and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, a great design by Robert Trent Jones, Sr, on gently undulating terrain close to Marbella. In dreamlike Morocco, leave the crowds behind and be one of the few to experience such pristine courses as the El Jadida Royal Golf Course, whose flowering dunes are backdropped by the Atlas Mountains and Royal Dar Es Salam Golf Club, both regarded as the finest courses in Morocco.

Touring schedules throughout the voyage are highlighted by visits to sublime Granada, site of the celebrated Alhambra, the palace-fortress of the 13th-century Nasrid sultans, and Gibraltar, the famed Rock landmark and one of Britain’s few remaining colonies. While in Morocco explore the elegant capital of Rabat and fabled Marrakech, visiting the 12th-century Koutoubia Minaret and the Bahia Palace and El Jadida, whose old Medina has a distinct flavor of the Portuguese.
