Harmonious Iberian Coast – Lisbon to Barcelona

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Lisbon on May 17, 2026 visits Portimao, Cádiz and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Barcelona, so it's worth planning a night or two there. 7 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. 3 countries (Portugal, Spain and United Kingdom) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Portimao stands out. It's Algarve gold: sea caves, cliffs, and grilled fish. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Dawn. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 9 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May 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.
