Portugal & Spain Golf Cruise 2026
About
Welcome to the Iberian Peninsula. In October 2026, Voyages.golf sets sail on a Super Yacht named Sakara, departing Lisbon for a circumnavigation of the Iberian Peninsula. This golf cruise promises an eclectic mix of sightseeing, prestigious golf courses, and luxurious cabins on the Emerald Sakara between 08–18 October 2026. With Voyages.golf, this escorted experience offers a personal approach with a guest limit of 20 golfers on the 100-berth yacht. If you have dreamed of exploring Spain, Portugal, and the Mediterranean islands by super yacht, this is your chance. We play famous courses like Palmares in Portugal’s Algarve, as well as Finca Cortesín (host of the Solheim Cup 2023), and Golf Alcanada on Mallorca. One of the highlights of this trip is visiting Tangier in Morocco, as well as the city of Seville, which was the center of Moorish influence for hundreds of years. We cannot think of a better way to combine luxury cruising with the history of Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with the world-class golf courses that pepper their coastlines.
You have the option of extending your stay in Lisbon with a 4-night prologue from 04 October, as well as ending the cruise with a 3-night stay at Camiral Golf Resort near Barcelona (formerly PGA Catalunya). This small escorted tour is limited to 24 passengers, including your tour hosts. We cannot increase the size of this tour, so enjoy the all-inclusive experience onboard the Emerald Sakara and secure your place today for this immersive Spain & Portugal Golf Cruise.
