10 nights - Sunny Iberia and Morocco - from/to Palma

About this cruise

You board in Palma de Mallorca on May 11, 2027 for 10 nights visiting Gibraltar, Cádiz, Lisbon, Tangier, Málaga and Barcelona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Don't rush through Málaga, which is known as Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 11 restaurants on Mein Schiff 1, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 10 nights. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Palma de Mallorca itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 6 ports across 10 nights covers a lot.
