Lisbon’s Moorish Glow & Basque Craft – Lisbon, Bilbao & Vigo

About this cruise

You board in Southampton on October 7, 2027 for 8 nights visiting Vigo, Lisbon, A Coruña and Bilbao, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. The shape of this trip works well: open water on either side with 4 port calls clustered in the middle. Warm plazas, gelato by the harbour, and old things everywhere you look. People come back from this cruise talking about Vigo: Galicia's vibrant port of seafood and rias. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. 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. Southampton itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. 4 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
