Mediterranean Escape – Cádiz, Lisbon & Palma

About this cruise

You board in Barcelona on June 19, 2027 for 8 nights visiting Cádiz, Lisbon, Gibraltar, Málaga and Palma de Mallorca, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. 3 countries (Spain, Portugal and United Kingdom) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Málaga, which is known as Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Carnival Sunshine. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. All told, 5 ports across 8 nights covers a lot.
