14 nights - Spain's South Coast and Mediterranean Island Worlds - from/to Palma

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Palma de Mallorca on March 21, 2027 and visits Cádiz, Tangier and Málaga, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Spain, Morocco, France and Italy, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Valencia tends to be the one people talk about: Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 4 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Palma de Mallorca before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
