10 nights - Europe's West Coast - from Hamburg/to Palma

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 Hamburg on September 22, 2026 visits Southampton, A Coruña, Leixões (Porto), Lisbon, Tangier and Palma de Mallorca. Disembarkation is in Palma de Mallorca. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal and Morocco, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Leixões (Porto), Port wine cellars on the Douro's banks. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mein Schiff 2 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Hamburg before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
