Cider & Salted Cliffs – Vigo, Lisbon & Bilbao
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Southampton on September 28, 2027 visits Vigo, Lisbon, A Coruña, Gijon and Bilbao. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, and everywhere in between. Probably the most popular Med route for a reason. People come back from this cruise talking about Vigo: Galicia's vibrant port of seafood and rias. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Freedom Of The Seas. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
