12 Night Cruise from Barcelona

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from October 19, 2026 and let this sailing from Barcelona do its thing. The route covers Cádiz, Lisbon and Gibraltar, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 5 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom, France and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Lisbon: Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Diadema carries up to 3,724 guests over 14 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 12 nights well spent.
