Gateway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Strait of Gibraltar has a storied past. The ancients saw this passage as the edge of the world; no one dared pass through. The strait’s most defining landmark is its enormous namesake rock, towering almost 1,400 feet above the waters. The soaring Rock of Gibraltar was one of the Pillars of Hercules of ancient myth. The strait’s short span between continents has played a major historic role. Making the crossing is a dramatic experience, a passage between two great bodies of water. As you sail today, savor a range of international cuisine on board.
