14 Night Cruise from Valencia

About this cruise

14 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Valencia on November 8, 2027 and the route takes you through Lisbon, Funchal, Salvador, Ilheus and Rio de Janeiro at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The sailing ends in Rio de Janeiro. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 5 port calls clustered in the middle. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. People come back from this cruise talking about Ilheus: Jorge Amado's land of cacao and literature. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Musica has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Valencia itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
