Coastal & Atlantic – Cádiz, Lisbon & Funchal

About this cruise

A 11-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Barcelona on May 11, 2026 and visits Cádiz, Lisbon, Funchal, Tangier and Palma de Mallorca. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Crossing 3 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal and Morocco. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palma de Mallorca, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Xcel (2025) is one of the newer ships out there, with current design and recent tech throughout. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
