French & Spanish Escape – La Rochelle & Bilbao
About this cruise
There's a reason 6-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Southampton on July 4, 2027 and visits La Rochelle, Bilbao and A Coruña. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Meraviglia has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
