7 nights - Summertime on the West Coast with Bilbao - from/to Leixoes (Porto)

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Leixões (Porto) on July 30, 2026 and visits Le Verdon-sur-Mer, Bilbao, A Coruña and Vigo. The pace is well balanced: 2 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Mein Schiff 6 takes the food seriously, with 11 restaurants to choose from. 8 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Leixões (Porto) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
