Detailed answer
Grand Circle Cruise Line is one of three brands of Grand Circle Corporation, based at 347 Congress Street in Boston; the others are Grand Circle Travel and Overseas Adventure Travel. Grand Circle traces its history to 1958, when Ethel Andrus founded a travel company for members of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), and Alan and Harriet Lewis acquired it in 1985. The group runs river cruises and a small fleet of ocean ships, and it defines a small ship as one carrying 150 passengers or fewer. Clio, built in 1998 and in Grand Circle service since 2016, is a privately owned, 89-passenger ship. The group's ships are sold under more than one brand, and the same Iberian Voyage appears on both the Grand Circle and O.A.T. websites, on either Clio or Corinthian.

What should Grand Circle Cruise Line passengers know about Gibraltar?
The Grand Circle 2027 itinerary describes the ship anchoring at Gibraltar, followed by a guided tour that takes in Europa Point, the wartime tunnels in the Rock and Casemates Square. Gibraltar's currency is the pound sterling; euros are widely accepted in shops but often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. English is the official language, and Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
Can you sail with Grand Circle Cruise Line from near Gibraltar?
