Iberian & Moorish Vignettes – Funchal, Casablanca & Seville

About this cruise

If you've got 13 nights to work with, this sailing from Lisbon on October 7, 2026 through Funchal, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 4 countries (Portugal, Spain, Morocco and United Kingdom) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Portimao: Algarve gold: sea caves, cliffs, and grilled fish. Around 12 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Star. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 13 nights well spent.
