Detailed answer
Vidanta Cruises, which trades as VidantaWorld Voyages, is the cruise arm of the Mexican resort group Grupo Vidanta and was announced as Mexico's first luxury cruise line. Its one ship, VidantaWorld's Elegant, was launched in 1990 and last sailed as Voyager for Voyages of Discovery. Grupo Vidanta bought it after All Leisure Group's bankruptcy in 2017 and rebuilt it to carry 216 guests in 108 cabins, with a near one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, three restaurants and no traditional main dining room. The ship began its first Mediterranean season in April 2026, sailing from Funchal, Madeira.
Which of its ships call at Gibraltar?
In the Port of Gibraltar schedule checked on Sunday 25 October 2026, one Vidanta ship is due. Vidanta World's Elegant, as the Port lists it, calls on Sunday 26 September 2027, 07:00 to 20:00. The Port expects about 540 passengers, mainly British, well above the 216 guests the line now carries. The list on this page updates as the schedule changes.
What should Vidanta Cruises passengers know about Gibraltar?
English is Gibraltar's official language and the currency is the pound sterling; euros are widely accepted in shops, often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain (Central European Time). With a 13-hour call there is time for the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, as well as Main Street and the town. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild and is expected to reopen in 2027, so for now the Upper Rock is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
