Iberian Ink & Iron – Lisbon, Vigo & Le Havre
About this cruise
This one leaves Southampton on September 20, 2027 and spends 8 nights visiting Vigo, Lisbon, A Coruña and Le Havre (Paris) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. The pace alternates neatly: port day, sea day, port day, sea day. 4 stops with a breather between each one. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, Portugal and France. Most ports give you about 12 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, There are 14 restaurants on Freedom Of The Seas, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 8 nights. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
