Gilded Horizon – Azores, Seville & Corsica

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 17, 2027. This one's 28 nights from Fort Lauderdale, and the route visits Ponta Delgada, Vigo and Cherbourg, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. The trip wraps in Southampton, so you won't retrace your steps. 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 Western Mediterranean route takes in Portugal, Spain, France, United Kingdom and Italy, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. 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, Regal Princess keeps you well fed. 12 places to eat, with 6 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 28-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
