I'll be traveling with you on this bucket-list trip! I've spent the last ten years extensively traveling around Europe as a group trip leader and two of my very favorites are Spain & Portugal! I'm certainly looking forward to being your on-trip host and sharing lots of great memories with you along the way. If we have less than 5 cabins sailing, you'll still receive ALL the same benefits in this package, I just will not be personally joining you on the trip. Last year's trip was awesome, and I'm quite sure this year's trip will be NO different!
