Cider & Tapas Run – Paris, Bilbao & Vigo

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Southampton on May 30, 2027 and visits Le Havre (Paris), Bilbao, A Coruña and Vigo. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. 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, Freedom Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A May departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
