Moorish Tide – Casablanca, Tenerife & Lisbon

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 10-night sailing from Barcelona on April 11, 2028 visits Motril, Gibraltar and Casablanca, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You finish in Lisbon. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Crossing 4 borders through the Western Mediterranean: Spain, United Kingdom, Morocco and Portugal. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Arrecife alone is worth the trip, Lanzarote's lunar landscapes meet the Atlantic. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Norwegian Star takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
