88 days, one-way from Barcelona to Hong Kong

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 27, 2026. This one's 88 nights from Barcelona, and the route visits Lisbon, Ponta Delgada and Praia da Vitoria, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The trip wraps in Hong Kong, so you won't retrace your steps. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. Crossing 16 borders through the Australia & New Zealand: Portugal, United States, Bahamas, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, French Polynesia, Fiji, New Caledonia, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. 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, Costa Deliziosa carries 2,260 guests across 12 decks, with the usual resort-style amenities. 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. Suits retirees, remote workers, or anyone who doesn't need to be anywhere else for a while. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 88-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
