Iberian Discovery – Cádiz, Lisbon & Palma

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on April 16, 2026 visits Cádiz, Lisbon, Leixões (Porto), Málaga and Palma de Mallorca and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Roman ruins at one stop, Renaissance piazzas at the next. Centuries of history at every quay. Leixões (Porto) alone is worth the trip, Port wine cellars on the Douro's banks. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Equinox keeps you well fed. 10 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Barcelona before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
