Coastal Charmer – Vigo, Lisbon & Bilbao

About this cruise

You board in Southampton on July 23, 2026 for 9 nights visiting Vigo, Lisbon, Leixões (Porto), A Coruña, Bilbao and Le Havre (Paris), and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Spain to France. Of the stops, A Coruña tends to be the one people talk about: Galicia's glass-towered city on the Atlantic. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Apex has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
