Great Meridian – New York, Panama & Cabo

About this cruise

37 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Barcelona on November 27, 2026 and the route takes you through Lisbon, Ponta Delgada and Praia da Vitoria, with additional stops along the Mexican Riviera & Central America at a pace where there's never any need to rush. Disembarkation is in San Francisco. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. The Mexican Riviera & Central America route takes in Portugal, United States, Bahamas, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be New York, The skyline that never stops inspiring. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Costa Deliziosa has 2,260 guests. Big enough for variety, not so big it feels anonymous. 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. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
