Coastal Escape – Lisbon & Palma

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Lisbon on June 28, 2026 visits Portimao, Cádiz and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Disembarkation is in Barcelona. 7 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Palma de Mallorca, A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Dawn keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Lisbon before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
