14 nights - Summertime on the West Coast - from/to Leixoes (Porto)

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. 14 nights from Leixões (Porto) on July 16, 2026, visiting Le Verdon-sur-Mer, Bilbao and A Coruña, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. 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. The Western Mediterranean route takes in France, Spain, Morocco, United Kingdom and Portugal, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 13 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Mein Schiff 6 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. 14 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 proper voyage for people who like to take their time and hate rushing through destinations. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 14-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
