23 nights - Time Out on the Atlantic and Caribbean - from Palma/to La Romana

About this cruise

Block out 23 nights from October 26, 2026 and let this sailing from Palma de Mallorca do its thing. The route covers Gibraltar, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Mindelo, with additional stops along the Caribbean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Disembarkation is in La Romana. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 11 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 9 borders through the Caribbean: United Kingdom, Spain, Cape Verde, Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sint Maarten, Dominican Republic, British Virgin Islands and Antigua & Barbuda. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be St. John's, Antigua's harbour of three hundred sixty-five beaches. Roughly 12 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mein Schiff 5 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
