Hesperides Crossing – Barcelona, Gibraltar & Tenerife

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from October 24, 2026. This one's 22 nights from Piraeus (Athens), and the route visits Bar, Corfu and Messina, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Disembarkation is in Fort Lauderdale. The final stretch is open ocean, which gives you time to process everything you've seen and use the ship one last time. The route threads through 6 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Montenegro, Greece, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Sun Princess joined the Princess Cruises's lineup in 2024. Still has that new-ship feel. 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. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Montenegro, Greece, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and United States.
