11 Night Cruise from Barcelona

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Barcelona on September 28, 2026 and the route takes you through Cádiz, Lisbon and Gibraltar, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 5 countries (Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Lisbon, which is known as Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 132,500 gross tons, Costa Diadema is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All told, 7 ports across 11 nights covers a lot.
