Strait of Gibraltar

To see discounted cruises that visit or depart from this port, use the Find a Bargain box on the left.

The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates Spain from Morocco in Northern Africa. With some of the highest concentrations of dolphins in the Mediterranean, the bay is a great area to watch for these adorable mammals. The sea around Gibraltar has a large number of shipwrecks providing good diving for experienced divers. In the city, there are many important buildings and churches that are interesting attractions and anyone with an academic interest in Gibraltar should take the time to visit the military and archaeological artifacts compiled at the Gibraltar Museum.
