Iberian Drift to Alagoas – Cadiz, Mindelo & Maceio
About this cruise
Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 16-night sailing from Barcelona on November 3, 2026 visits Málaga, Cádiz and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Maceio. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Diadema: 3,724 guests, 14 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Barcelona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
