Grand European Passage – Barcelona to Copenhagen

About this cruise

A 37-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Southampton on April 30, 2027 and visits Cádiz, Barcelona and Toulon, with additional stops along the Baltic. You finish in Copenhagen. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 22 port calls start. Crossing 12 borders through the Baltic: Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Estonia and Finland. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Livorno (Florence/Pisa) alone is worth the trip, Tuscan art and the Leaning Tower await. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Regal Princess takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
