Inside Magic Johnson’s lavish summer getaway around Europe

Magic Johnson and Samuel L Jackson have been spotted on a big European vacation on board a superyacht.

Johnson has been known to take trips around the Mediterranean in the past and he made sure to bring along his wife Cookie and some close friends, including Jackson.

They began their trip in Barcelona at the Boca Grande restaurant, according to The Sun.

‘We are officially on vacation!!,’ the Los Angeles Lakers icon posted. ‘Hanging out with our great friends John and Vicki Palmer and Sam and LaTanya Jackson at Boca Grande in Barcelona, Spain! The food was *chef’s kiss*.’

The group then hit up Ibiza – where they were joined by comedian Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna. 

The yacht has also made stops in France and in Monte Carlo in recent days. 

Whilst overseas for the Fourth of July holiday, they made sure to celebrate with plenty of red, white, and blue balloons as well as American flags.

During the trip, Johnson has made sure that he’s been able to stay in shape amidst all the cruising and sightseeing by hitting the gym at multiple stops. 

One highlight of the trip was a 1980s-themed bash where Johnson and his guests dressed up in bright neon track suits and danced the night away. 

There was even an appearance by Jimmy Kimmel in the form of a cardboard cutout of the late night host. That stemmed from an appearance Johnson made on Kimmel’s show in which the comedian mentioned that he wanted to join the NBA star on the summer trip.

Johnson and his guests are traveling aboard the Phoenix 2 – an art deco-inspired superyacht that has been billed as ‘the height of on-the-water opulence’.

The $1.3million vessel boasts seven cabins and 29 staff as well as indoor and outdoor cinemas, three pools, a wellness center, and ‘an eye-watering array of toys’.
