Atlantic Crossing – Paris, Azores & Barbados

About this cruise

The kind of trip where you lose track of what day it is, and nobody cares. 13 nights from Southampton on November 6, 2027, visiting Le Havre (Paris), Ponta Delgada, St. John's, Saint Vincent Island and Bridgetown. You wind up in Bridgetown, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days add up to 8, but that's when you find the spa, catch the shows, or just read by the pool. 5 countries (France, Portugal, Antigua & Barbuda, St. Vincent & Grenadines and Barbados) across the Caribbean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Meraviglia. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
