26 Night Cruise from Fort Lauderdale

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. 26 nights from Fort Lauderdale on April 4, 2027, visiting Kings Wharf, Isle of Portland and Dover, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Dover. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The route threads through 6 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Bermuda, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Morocco, Spain and Portugal. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Nieuw Statendam has 12 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 26 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 spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Fort Lauderdale and come back with stories from Bermuda, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
