A Dutch-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Dutch interpreter). A limited number of Dutch guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; tours guided in English are available at www.hollandamerica.com.
Pass the American War Memorial and the headquarters of the remaining British Naval forces in Gibraltar as you head towards Europa Point. Snap some photos of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Bay of Gibraltar, the Spanish mainland and, on a clear day, the African continent.
Proceed to the Upper Rock area to visit the famous and infamous Barbary apes and St Michael's Cave. A technology-led installation creates an immersive experience inside this natural attraction, explaining how the geological formation came to be.
You will drive past the Moorish Castle and the Tower of Homage, which still bears the scars of battle, to enter the Upper Town area's narrow streets.
Guests wishing to stay in town for duty-free shopping or to explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, flagstones, inclines, gravel, and more than 75 steps to exit the cave. Scooters, wheelchairs, and walkers cannot be accommodated on tour. Participants can use a mobility aid to reach the transportation; then, it will be stored in the cruise terminal until the tour returns to the ship. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Your guide will speak English; commentary in Dutch is provided by audio recording. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day.
