Atlantic Crossing – Bermuda & Azores

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 15 nights from Fort Lauderdale on April 26, 2026, visiting Kings Wharf, Ponta Delgada, Lisbon, Cartagena Spain, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. You finish in Barcelona. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Bermuda, Portugal and Spain. 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, Celebrity Xcel launched in 2025, so everything on board is still new. You can tell. 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. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
