Mediterranean to Florida – Barcelona & Gibraltar

About this cruise

Block out 13 nights from October 17, 2026 and let this sailing from Barcelona do its thing. The route covers Alicante, Málaga, Gibraltar, Celebration Key and Port Canaveral and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The trip wraps in Port Canaveral, so you won't retrace your steps. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Spain, United Kingdom, Bahamas and United States) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Keep an eye out for Málaga: Picasso's birthplace on the Costa del Sol. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Carnival Freedom. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 13 nights well spent.
