Cobblestone Horizon – Ponta Delgada, Cádiz & Barcelona

About this cruise

Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 16-night sailing leaves Miami on March 25, 2028 and visits Philipsburg, Ponta Delgada, Cádiz, Palma de Mallorca, Marseille and Barcelona. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. 4 countries (Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and France) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Cádiz stands out. It's Europe's oldest city, still dancing flamenco. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Seashore. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And March is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
