Mediterranean to Lisbon – Barcelona & Gibraltar
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Barcelona on May 23, 2027 visits Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Lisbon. 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. Valencia alone is worth the trip, Futuristic architecture and ancient orange groves. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
