Atlantic Crossing – A Coruña & Funchal

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from May 2, 2027. This one's 15 nights from Southampton, and the route visits A Coruña, Vigo, Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Grand Turk Island and Port Canaveral. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The sailing ends in Port Canaveral. You start at sea, hit the ports, then finish at sea. The ports feel like the centrepiece, framed by lazy ocean days. The route threads through 4 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Portugal, Turks & Caicos Islands and United States. 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, Carnival Festivale joined the Carnival Cruise Line's lineup in 2027. Still has that new-ship feel. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 15-night sailing is a strong place to start.
