44 Night Cruise from New York

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from October 11, 2027. This one's 44 nights from New York, and the route visits Ponta Delgada, Lisbon and Cartagena Spain, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. 11 countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Türkiye, Malta, Tunisia and Morocco) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Volendam. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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 October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
