Mediterranean Grand Tour – Palma de Mallorca

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 20 nights from Port Canaveral on April 18, 2026, visiting Miami, Philipsburg and Funchal, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Palma de Mallorca, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The Western Mediterranean route takes in United States, Sint Maarten, Portugal, Spain, France and Italy, 6 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Miami stands out. It's Where Latin energy meets Art Deco cool. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Grandiosa keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
