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 September 26, 2027 visits Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Motril, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The sailing ends 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. People come back from this cruise talking about 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. 7 ports, 3 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
