10 days, one-way from Barcelona to Hamburg

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 10-night sailing from Barcelona on May 19, 2027 visits Málaga, Cádiz, Leixões (Porto), A Coruña, Cherbourg and Hamburg. The sailing ends in Hamburg. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. 4 countries (Spain, Portugal, France and Germany) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Leixões (Porto): Port wine cellars on the Douro's banks. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Favolosa carries up to 3,016 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 6 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
