Andalusian Sun – Malaga, Cadiz & Gran Canaria

About this cruise

Short trips like this tend to hit differently because every day actually counts. You leave Barcelona on November 14, 2026 for 5 nights visiting Málaga, Cádiz and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. You wind up in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, so it's worth planning a night or two there. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. The Western Mediterranean does coastal beauty and good eating in equal measure. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Smeralda holds 5,224 guests across 20 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. 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. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
