Coastal Grandeur – Lisbon to Southampton

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Lisbon on April 26, 2026 through Leixões (Porto), A Coruña and Gijon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. Last stop: Southampton. 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: 7 countries, from Portugal to United Kingdom. Of the stops, Gijon tends to be the one people talk about: Asturian cider and Cantabrian waves. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Norwegian Star has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
