16 nights - Time Out on the Atlantic - from Palma/to La Romana

About this cruise

16 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Palma de Mallorca on October 26, 2026 and the route takes you through Gibraltar, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Mindelo, with additional stops along the Caribbean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. Disembarkation is in La Romana. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The Caribbean route takes in United Kingdom, Spain, Cape Verde, Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sint Maarten and Dominican Republic, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Mein Schiff 5 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. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
