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

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 11 nights from Palma de Mallorca on May 21, 2027, visiting Málaga, Gibraltar and Cádiz, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Hamburg, so it's worth planning a night or two there. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 5 countries (Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal, France and Germany) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 1. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. 11 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
