Atlantic Crossing – Lisbon from New York

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 10-night sailing from New York on April 19, 2026 visits Halifax, Ponta Delgada and Lisbon. Last stop: Lisbon. The sea days at each end give the whole trip a natural arc: build-up, exploration, cool-down. Old harbours, fresh lobster, and autumn leaves if you time it right. Classic New England stuff. Of the stops, Lisbon tends to be the one people talk about: Seven hills of fado, pastéis, and golden light. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Meraviglia has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
