Mediterranean Grand Tour – Lisbon & Barcelona

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 14 nights from Southampton on August 1, 2026, visiting Leixões (Porto), Lisbon and Palma de Mallorca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Hot coastline, hilltop villages, and very good food. That's the Western Med in a sentence. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Apex has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. 14 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Southampton and come back with stories from Portugal and Spain.
