Eastbound Meridian – Madeira & Gibraltar

About this cruise

A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 13 nights from Port Canaveral on April 25, 2027, visiting Funchal, Gibraltar, Cartagena Spain and Barcelona. Last stop: Barcelona. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Portugal, United Kingdom and Spain. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Disney Wish has 2,508 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
