21 Night Cruise from Barcelona

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from August 8, 2026. This one's 21 nights from Barcelona, and the route visits Gibraltar, Cartagena Spain and La Spezia, with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 6 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Greece, Türkiye and Montenegro. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 21-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
