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

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Leixões (Porto) on August 20, 2026, visiting Tangier, Gibraltar, Cádiz and Lisbon. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Morocco, United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through Lisbon, which is known as Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. Roughly 13 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Mein Schiff 6 keeps you well fed. 11 places to eat, with 8 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Leixões (Porto) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
