Mediterranean to Lisbon – Barcelona & Gibraltar
About this cruise
7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Barcelona on September 27, 2026 visits Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and doesn't try to cram in too much. The trip wraps in Lisbon, so you won't retrace your steps. No sea days at all on this one. 7 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. The route threads through 3 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Spain, United Kingdom and Portugal. Keep an eye out for Palma de Mallorca: A Gothic cathedral mirrored in the harbour. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. There are 14 restaurants on Norwegian Dawn, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 7 nights. Barcelona 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. That's 7 nights well spent.
