Gilded Meridian – Azores, Gibraltar & Kotor

About this cruise

Block out 19 nights from March 27, 2026 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Ponta Delgada, Gibraltar, Ajaccio, Civitavecchia (Rome), Kotor and Corfu and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You wind up in Civitavecchia (Rome), 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. The route threads through 6 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Portugal, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Montenegro and Greece. Gibraltar stands out. It's A British rock at the mouth of the Mediterranean. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Enchanted Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Fort Lauderdale itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. 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.
